  • Text list of timestamps for multiple clips

    Posted by John Bartmann on January 27, 2021 at 2:19 pm

    I have a sequence of audio clips in one of my comps, arranged top-to-tail. I need a timestamp list in text format of the start points of each clip. Been doing it manually. Would appreciate any help!

    A script would look something like this:

    thisComp = app.project.activeItem;
    output = "timecodes:\n";
    for (l=1; l<=thisComp.numLayers; l++) {
    output+=timeToCurrentFormat(thisComp.layer(l).inPoint, 1/thisComp.frameDuration)+"\n";
    }
    alert(output);
