Script Idea: Markers to Range

[h3llolovely]

Hello,
I have an idea for a script. I tried to make it myself, but realized it was beyond my abilities. So I am officially giving up. I'd like to give it to you because I think it would be a useful feature and I know you can make it even better. Thank you.

Here it is...

Markers to Range

Description: Retrieves marker info (Name, calculates the From/To values in frames, whether marker is selected or not), stores those values in a dictionary to pass to selected render settings via a dockable gui interface with a selectable list of markers next to a mirrored list of the documents render settings. Then set the selected Render Setting Range to that of the selected Marker.

Proposed Workflow:

• Open a dockable gui dialog box. (see mockup image)
• Populate a selectable list of the Timeline Markers.
• Populate a selectable list of the Documents Render Settings.
• Create a "Refresh Markers" button to reload Timeline Markers.
• Select the desired Marker, then Select the desired Render Setting.
• Click "Set Range" (Frame Range mode is set to "manual", From / To values are set from the selected Marker's range)
• Repeat to apply to other Render Settings

Thanks for the request and very comprehensive explanation. I'll take a look.
