| Hi Robert,
Can you tell me how you created the markers? And let's move this conversation off list.

Hi Lloyd
I think i have found a bug in your script :-( The scripts add extra markers at the same time as existing markers, it starts ok, but add doublemarkers more and more often the higher it gets in markercount. It then exports some of these double markers as same timecode but other 1 frame shifted even though they are at the same time in AE.
See the link below for a small AE project and the resulting txt file your script exports. i used this command to export: "[markernumber]\t[time]\n"
I didn't even know that you could have several markes at the same timeframe in AE, it doesn't seem that AE allow it using the UI, but i guess it is possible via scripting :-)
And one more really small "feature" request: In the instructions popup add the various extra commands you can add to the filegeneration ("\n" and "\t", more?) i already forgot since yesterday, and had to take a quick look at your video tutorial on aescript.com again to be reminded :-)

I see, if you use commas to separate each element and a newline at the end of each line then the exported file will open as a spreadsheet so you wouldn't need to copy and paste. Does that make sense?

Hi
yes, i know. I just wanted to skip a step of writing the file, and copy/paste from that into a spreadsheet, and just copy/paste directly from AE.... just me being lazy.

Hey Robert,
You can export it as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and it should open correctly in your spreadsheet program. Let me know if you need to to elaborate on this.
Cheers,

Yes, i'm on windows.
it's ok, just a bit faster to copy paste when you want the data in a spreadsheet, but i will manage :-)

I only know how to do that on mac and you said you were on windows right? If you know a commandline way to send something to the clipboard then i could add it.

Hi Lloyd
a small feature request more. Being able to choose to copy to clipboard instead of writing to a file... easy? :-)

Glad you like it, let me know who it works for you.

Oh.... that looks absolutely brilliant. And you just made it super customizable in what fields to export.
Too bad i am almost finished with this project now... but i just bought it anyway, it should speed up the process for the remaining clips. ;-)
Thanks!

Hey Robert,
I updated the script to support exporting to a file. You can format the text file however you want, i made a quick screendemo showing how to use it. You can get the script and see the demo here: http://aescripts.com/layer-marker-batch-editor/
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers, Lloyd Hi Lloyd
for this project i just use the AutoHotKeys Premiere script Ed provided, it works for what i need... or rather what the freelancer we have hired to do the DVD authoring need, since he doesn't want to use Encore but really oldschool Spruce he needed the timecodes for chapter markers and I-frame placement for his mpeg2 encoder.
But, if you really don't know what to do for a few minutes (!) and would like to add this export feature in your AE script, just make the output tab spaced like the script Ed did Heres an output of the Premiere script from Ed:
Sequence0001 00:00:09:17 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:01:39:03 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:03:34:12 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:04:53:14 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:05:26:10 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:06:02:24 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:06:37:12 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:07:04:18 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:07:33:04 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:08:15:20 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:08:50:20 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:09:24:05 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:09:59:19 "" ""
Sequence0001 00:10:38:11 "" ""
Another useful feature would be a choice of timecode or framenumber
Thanks for the helpful offer to modify your script, this list reallt is awsome :-)

Hey Robert,
If you tell me what format you need the text file I can update my Layer Marker Batch Editor script http://aescripts.com/layer-marker-batch-editor/ to have this functionality. The main caveat is only layer markers are accessible via scripting so unfortunately comp markers won't be included in the export.
Cheers, -Lloyd Hi
Is there some script that exports layers/comp markers to a simple textfile with timecode? Either directly from AE or via Premiere?
i have search a little and i can't find anything that does it as a simple plain textfile. The closest i have found is an old premiere plugin that doesn't seem to work with CS5.5 ( http://www.2writers.com/Eddie/PpExpMark.htm)
