Duplicate sequence and delete content.

Thanks. I’m away from my project. Does it apply across sequence with different formats (resolution & frame rate)?

Any change in frame rate should affect the markers, as they conform to the frame number. Sorry, I don’t think they will retain Second or millisecond count in premiere. However, if you can place in a program that will allow this change (in milliseconds perhaps), you should be able to make the transition just fine. I haven’t used AE much, but if you could simply move the sequence there, and then into a milliseconds comp that goes into a new-framerate comp, then have that import as a new sequence with all of it’s markers, it’s possible you could keep your markers timed to seconds of video rather than frames.

Process:
Place duped sequence in AE
Create new comp with milliseconds timebase
import AE comp into Project file
Create a new sequence with your frame rate, etc
replace the sequece with AE composition
if this last doesn’t conform the Compostition to the frame rate, try nesting the comp in a framerate comp.

You can do this even easier in FCP, as it will allow you to go to the subframe or milliseconds level.

I tend to “OVERUSE” my edit marks, so I rarely have to rely on workarounds to conform my output. If I want the same video in a different frame rate, I simply Dupe sequence, delete everything but markers, change frame rates etc in sequence settings, then re-add my data, but don’t allow sequence to change to match. Then I drag markers into proper placement with the edit marks, which will still conform to frames of the original source, but retimed to what the new Rendered frames will be, so the markers will match the rendered video just fine. With snap on, I even have the indicator where the markers need to align. It’s not a workaround. It’s a workflow.
If you are using different video entirely and it was shot in a different frame rate, you’ll want to use FCP or even AE to do this kind of edit. OR: You can paste your original video in, move the markers where they need to align using the edit marks, then delete all the video again, and replace it with your new video. It’s a bit roundabout, but it still works… Put in the time, get the output.
