Unfortunately, I don’t think the video linked above will help. It’s about importing CSVs as data sources into Ae, but there’s no way to get them to markers there.

This is totally doable with scripting, though. In fact, a quick search turns up this tool:

I haven’t used it, so I can’t vouch for it, but it looks to be exactly what you need.

Hi Walter, you’re right. I ended up purchasing the script and it does exactly what I was after. Thanks very much.
