Markers not sitting exactly on frame after Import – Frame snap script anyone?
Markers not sitting exactly on frame after Import – Frame snap script anyone?
Hello.
so, as the title say, after importing markers, (either by using a .csv file or EDL) from DaVinci Resolve, some of them are not sitting exactly on a frame in the AE timeline. since I use hundreds of markers its very tedious and time consuming to manual adjust each one.
This causes issues for me while applying certain scripts which relay on the position of the markers on the timeline.
as anyone else encounter this problem? or maybe there is a script which does a frame-snap for the markers?
thanks!

so… here came ChatGPT and offered this script:
var comp = app.project.activeItem; // Get active composition
if(comp) {
if(comp.markerProperty.numKeys > 0) {
var markers = comp.markerProperty; // Get markers
var frameDuration = comp.frameDuration; // Get composition frame duration
for (var i = 1; i <= markers.numKeys; i++) {
var markerTime = markers.keyTime(i); // Get marker time
var closestFrame = Math.round(markerTime / frameDuration); // Get closest frame
markers.setCommentAtTime(markerTime, closestFrame);
}
} else {
alert(“The active composition does not have any markers.”);
}
} else {
alert(“No active composition.”);
}
after effects run in to errors there, but maybe one of you wizards can take it from there 🙂

Can you post a sample CSV/EDL that you’re using?

See if this works for you:
var comp = app.project.activeItem; // Get active composition
if(comp) {
if(comp.markerProperty.numKeys > 0) {
var markers = comp.markerProperty; // Get markers
var frameDuration = comp.frameDuration; // Get composition frame duration
for (var i = 1; i <= markers.numKeys; i++) {
var curMarker = markers.keyValue(i);
var markerTime = markers.keyTime(i); // Get marker time
var closestFrame = Math.round(markerTime / frameDuration)*frameDuration; // Get closest frame
markers.removeKey(i);
markers.setValueAtTime(closestFrame,curMarker);
}
} else {
alert("The active composition does not have any markers.");
}
} else {
alert("No active composition.");
}
