[EDIT] Exporting sequence markers #2146

Commit Hash af76fbf0

Platform Fedora 37

Summary It would be nice to have the ability to export the markers in a sequence. This can save some time for people who upload videos to YouTube, and want to automatically have the chapters (timestamps) of the video.

Additional Information / Output It could offer different formats, like .txt or .csv. And you could be able to choose the marker properties to export (In, Out, Color, Name).

Is there a standard format for this that YouTube etc. supports?

Well, you just copy and paste text into the description. Something like this:

00:00 Intro 01:25 Chapter One

It appears there are a few rules to follow:

The YouTube format only allows minutes and seconds, which may be insufficient for people who need their markers to be frame/sample accurate.

Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but does imply that this will probably need to be able to support more than just YouTube as a format if implemented.

It would also be good to implement exporting markers to OTIO now they support them.

itsmattkc commented 1 year ago

I assume that would just be part of the regular OTIO export?

ThomasWilshaw commented 1 year ago

Yes it would be. Sorry probably not that relevant to this issue
