  • Create Markers from clip start and original clip name

    Posted by Diana Blackwood on April 27, 2012 at 9:40 pm

    Is it possible to just have Vegas create markers at the start of each clip with the name of the clip as the marker name. I have several videos that are compilations of clips that just need to have chapters. Thanks! -Diana

    Vegas can’t do it out of the box, but you can use scripts, eg Markers tool from Vegasaur
