  Duplicate FCP Clip Edit Markers into Sequence Markers

  Posted by Jack Nastowski on May 13, 2006 at 8:55 pm

  I have a clip with edit markers. I there a way to drop it into a sequence and have those edit markers duplicate into Sequence Markers automatically?

  Has anyone written a script that does this?

  Thanks,
  Jack

  It seems like this program deals only with sequences.

  I need to take a clip, which has markers, from the viewer window and insert it into a sequence. When it inserets- I need those edit markers from the clip to pop up in the sequence’s timeline. Basically, the markers will duplicate over the sequence.

  Additionally, I would like those edit markers to automatically be Chapter Markers.

  Thanks,
  Jack

  that’s a feature request!

  pretty sure XML2text will do what you need: “Get Clip level Markers out of a Sequence and lift them to Sequence level markers”
  not sure it’ll be quicker than doing it yourself.

  cut clip into seq.
  export XML
  doctor it in XML2text,
  re-import to FCP

  if you have a lot to do, or if this is a way you work regularly it’d be a good thing to get.
  otherwise, cut your clip in to the sequence first, then add markers.

  no way to add a marker and have it be a chapter marker automatically.
  or even turn it into one with a shortcut.
  that’s bad design on FCP’s part.
