Get Markers info via scripting

[Tomas Bumbulevičius]

Hello Rainier, assuming you have scripting experience:
1. Where and in what form you want markers data to be retrieved?
2. Do you plan on processing/interpret the data on your own?

Hi!

I just need to access to the time property of every marker via scripting. I know how to do it in expressions but I can’t find anything about it on the scripting guide…

Here’s a simple example to retrieve the times of the first comp marker and the first marker for layer 1:


var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.layer(1);
if (myComp.markerProperty.numKeys > 0){
alert(myComp.markerProperty.keyTime(1));
}
if (myLayer.property("Marker").numKeys > 0){
alert(myLayer.property("Marker").keyTime(1));
}
