Using Markers

Exporting and Importing Markers
You can export markers from a sequence or a clip. A text (.txt) or XML (.xml) file is created
when you export the marker and a tab-delimited file or XML file displays all the information
about the marker. You can then send the .txt or .xml file to those who need to review and give
feedback about the sequence or clip. They can place additional comments in the text file or XML
file and send it back for you to reimport the marker comments back into your sequence.

You can also import the text file into a spreadsheet program, such as Excel.
You can also use the Markers window to import markers back into your sequence.
To export markers:
1. From the Markers window, right-click and select Export Markers and select Text or XML.
A dialog box opens, asking if you want to export only the selected markers or export all
markers.
2. Click All or Selected.
The Choose location for Exported Markers dialog box opens.
3. Type a file name and click Save.
The marker is saved as a either text file (.txt) or XML (.xml) file.
To import markers.
1. With a sequence loaded in the Source/Record monitor, right-click and select Markers.
2. From the Markers window, right-click and select Import Markers.
The Import dialog box opens.
3. From Files of type, select the tab-delimited file or Text/XML file containing the markers you
want to import, and then click Open.
4. (Option) Another way to import a marker file is to select the tab-delimited marker file or the
xml file and drag it into the Markers window.
Creating a Marker Text (.txt) File
You can create a Marker text file if you don’t have access to an Avid system. This lets you make
timecode-specific comments offline and give them to an editor to import into a sequence. The
Marker text file is a tab-delimited file which must be created with certain parameters. This file
can be edited in a text editor application or in a spreadsheet program. The Marker text file can be
exported from or imported into the Markers window. See “Exporting and Importing Markers” on
page 500.
