Sam suggested and requested for this feature.

There are a few scripts for Avid that allow you to take a timeline where all vfx shots have a marker. The script will create new subclips that are automatically renamed after the marker or you get a new timeline with renamed clips.

Is this something that could be possible to implement in MarkersExtractor? Maybe even add the subrole name to the new clip name. In my screenshots you would start with

Clip Name - A196C003_210914_RP14
Marker - DDF_001_0010
Subrole - MP

Sam-Request-01

and you get back a new timeline with the clip renamed to

Clip Name - DDF_001_0010_MP

Sam-Request-02

This would be such a timesaver, because I've always done this manually in FCP. I will usually drop all my vfx clips in a new timeline, rename them and then add handles before I send out a fcpxml.

I wonder if we can add this to one of our profiles. It can be an experimental feature designed for basic timelines.

MarkersExtractor automatically find and replace the Clip Name where the Marker is attached and it would save out a new FCPXML.

Could this be possible?

Any thoughts?
