Pro Tools 2023.6: Track Markers #20

Closed orchetect closed 1 year ago

orchetect commented 1 year ago

Not yet released, but it was announced that the next update to Pro Tools (perhaps 2023.5 or 2023.6) will have a new feature called Track Markers.

Once the update is released, hopefully there will be a way to import/export these markers and then add support to DAWFileKit to extract them in addition to the already-existing session markers.

Pro Tools 2023.6 was released today.

After basic testing, it appears that track markers are simply exported to Session Info Text File as normal session markers and are not distinguished at all.

The Export → Session Info as Text options have not changed from the last release of Pro Tools, so no additional options are available to change this behavior.
