Exporting Markers
You can export a list of markers in one of the following formats:
• Plain text file (.txt) that lists the timecode and text for each marker.
• A tab-delimited text file (.txt) that you can import into Media Composer or another Avid editing application. For more information, see the documentation for the Avid editing application.
• CSV (comma-separated value) file that you can open as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
• XML file for use in other applications.
You can also export a list of markers as a formatted Microsoft Excel file. Select one or more Interplay Production assets in the Assets pane or in Search results (federated or indexed search), right-click, and select Export Logs. A spreadsheet named logs.xlsx is created and downloaded to your browser's default download location. For multiple assets, each log is written on its own worksheet tab. This feature applies to master clips, subclips, group clips, and sequences.
You can copy complete markers (timecode and text) to the system clipboard and paste them into another application. You can also copy and paste marker text.
To export markers for a single asset as a file:
1. Load a clip or sequence that includes markers in the Media viewer.
2. Click the Export button.
The Export dialog box opens.
3. Select the type of file you want to export: Plain Text, Media Composer Text, CSV, or XML.
4. Type a file name. You do not need to add an extension.
5. Click Download.
The file is saved to your default download folder.
The dialog box remembers the format you selected. This format is automatically selected the next time you open the dialog box.
To export markers for one or more assets as an .xlsx file:
1. In the Assets pane or in the search results list, select one or more assets that include markers.
2. Right-click and select Export Logs.
A file named logs.xlsx is saved to your default download folder.
To copy one or more markers as text to the clipboard:
Select one or more markers and press Ctrl+C.
You can use the mouse or keyboard to select multiple markers:
- Select a marker, then press Shift+Up Arrow or Shift+Down Arrow to select a range.
- Select a marker, then press Shift+click to select a range or Ctrl+click to select individual markers.
You can then use Ctrl+V to paste the timecode and text to another document or application.
To copy marker text to the clipboard:
