Text only export of markers text and timestamps

Two related requests: I'd like to copy and paste from the view Windows/Markers and have a list of marker text and timestamps. And/or: I'd like text only export of markers including an index number, the text and the timestamp (maybe in a configurable format 00:10:30.000 or 10m30s for example). I could use this text, for example, in a Vimeo description to make Chapter markers. Then I wouldn't have to export to MP4 and go on a wild dance using MP4Box, Handbrake, or Subler to hack the data into a form I can paste in my Vimeo description. By the way, none of the listed software worked. I could get the text of the marker but not the timestamp - which I needed to type in by hand. Should be quite straight-forward. This or enhanced subtitling tools (from markers) would have me paying to upgrade to ScreenFlow 7 in a wink of an eye.

Thanks, Ian

  • I record classes for some schools and they require me the Trackings as text. I need that information in text form :) 

     

    Could you give us some update about the progress of it?

       It's been done for YouTube only. What would your use-case for it be?  The developers would want to know.

    • CraigS Hey :) 

      I record my classes, and add markers to my students e.g. "Welcome", "Introduction", and "Why that is used".

       

      Then I export the video, and I need to send to them the markers in the following format

       

      00:00:01 - Welcome
      00:01:41 - Introduction
      00:03:42 - Why that is used

       

      Because they have their own private system to upload the classes

       

      On Davince Resolve I used to export the markers as CSV.

      João Bibiano Why would you need a separate file compared to Chapter Markers which ScreenFlow already offers?

      Developers need to know the importance of the separate file. YouTube requires a separate file. Quicktime player, for example, does not.

    • CraigS I upload the video on Google Drive, and they later upload it to a private platform that does not support "embedded" markers.

       

      That's why I need to send them the separate file

      João Bibiano Developers are interested but they need to know what format would you like the chapter markers exported in. .txt, .csv, something else instead? They'd like to know what would be the most useful

    • CraigS csv would be useful because I can sort the file

       

      the format can be

      index;time;marker

      1;00:00:01;Welcome
      2;00:01:41;Introduction
      3;00:03:42;Why that is used

     Thanks. That clearly explains the need.

  • I would love to see this feature as well - I have created an account here just to vote for this thread. Similar use case as above with an export CSV file or something like that would be ideal for me.

      Sebastian Tomczak Thanks for voting. I think the developers may be gaining interest in this.

      CraigS "I think the developers may be gaining interest in this."     Gee, I certainly hope so. I sure could have used this feature today, yesterday... (and during the last two years.)  Yes, sarcasm. Sorry, but I just can't believe that the developers can't/won't/haven't made this feature available– Exporting the Marker entries to text or csv.    I know, vote on it...or not enough votes....  Thank you for listening.

      C Hunter Sorry but given the large number of feature requests and the work that needs to be done with a new macOS these things take a bit of time and prioritization. The more who vote the potentially higher the priority is.
