  Posted by Curtis Tyrell-wood on June 17, 2020 at 11:40 pm

  I would like to number my markers from 1 to how ever many markers I have.

  lets says I have 50 markers on a comp I would like to numbers them from 1-50 in the order from first to last (left- right)/1-50.

  Can anybody help?

  Thanks in advance!

  You’ll need to run an extendscript like this one:

  
app.beginUndoGroup("number markers");

  sl= app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;

  for (var i=0; i<sl.length; i++) {
var l = sl[i];
for (var j=1; j<=l.marker.numKeys; j++) {
myMarkerObj = new MarkerValue(j);
l.marker.setValueAtKey(j,myMarkerObj);
}
}
app.endUndoGroup();


  This will number the markers on the first currently selected layer.

  (copy this expression from the website, not your email-notification, ’cause it might not work)
