Export Markers — Plugin?
I need a way to export markers from Premiere CS3 as a list of timecodes. Found this (see below) in an internet search but there are two problems… one I don’t have the plugin and two it says its for Premiere 6.x. Anyone out there have this plugin or another solution?
\Goodies\Export Markers
“The Export Markers plug-in is a Windows-only plug-in for Adobe Premiere 6.x. It is used to export marker data from the Premiere Timeline to a tab-delimited text file or to a table in an HTML file. Marker data consists of position, duration, comments, chapter, URL, and frame target. The files exported by the Export Markers plug-in can be used for group collaboration on a project, or may be read by DVD authoring programs for a head-start on the authoring process.”
Please help if you can I need to export about marker from about 20 presentations with 100 to 200 markers in each.
Thanks in advance,

I was able to get by using Premiere CS4.
I used Flash Cue Markers. (Marker/Set Flash Cue Marker)
You can enter a lot of info here but for my needs I just left all the fields empty. I just needed the time code.When you are done inserting your markers use Export/Media, and set the Format: to FLV|F4V.
On the left side of the export panel, just below the yellow timeline you will see a +, -, a folder icon, and a disc icon. Select the disc icon to save the cue points as a xml file. If all you need are the marker time codes you don’t even need to render the file.The XML file can be opened with any text editor or even imported into MS-Excell.
It takes a little clean up to get this xml file looking good.
It’s up to you to handle it from there.Hope this helped. Good Luck.

Much appreciated Kevin.
Obviously much later than your post, but did you try this script? It got the TCs, but not the comments.

Thanks a lot Kevin! This seems like a good solution.
My only problem is the timecode. When I open up the XML file in Excel or Notepad the timecode points to some strange numbers — 357357, 448907, etc. Do you know how to fix/interpret these?Thanks,

I should also mention that only the name is exported, not the comments box.

Its been a while and i didn’t do the the math but I think these were frame numbers.
So at 30fps one minute would be 30frames x 60seconds = 1800
10 minutes would be 18000
There are many free time code calculators on line.. try this if you don’t want to download and install anything.https://www.michaelcinquin.com/tools/timecode_keykode
at the very bottom of the page you can enter the frame number and it will spit out the time code. (Be sure to enter the frames per second, as this will effect the calculation)
Once again hope this helps

Thanks very much.
Looks like it’ll be multiple methods combined to do this. Quite shocking that Adobe hasn’t made this easier.
