Thanks, happy to share my hacked together code and spreadsheet if anyone is interested (first time working with xml) Way to get the export to use the marker name if I have to manually export each marker range from the export from range ?

THINGS LIKE AUDACITY MANUAL

Suggestions as to easiest way to get my exports with the least manual work, now that I have every range marked and labeled? Now that I have everything labeled, I could manually fairly easily create a clip for each range, get it into the playlist, but as I have 50 ranges, still a fair amount of work. I was expecting the export to use the marker name, it does not do so, just uses the mlt filename prefix. Each is listed individually on the export from timeline. I cut and paste that into my mlt, all the markers now appear. I created a Python program that reads an Excel file of start/end points and range labels, it creates xml in the format needed for the markers portion of the xlt to create named marker ranges. Thanks for the suggestion, getting there but not there yet. Alternatively, if you want to go deeper, you can use the melt command line, and there are docs for the XML, and even the API and scripting languages here: Or, maybe you can make some templates where you find and replace with your data. Open Shotcut, set your Video Mode, add some files to the playlist, save, look at the project file in a text editor, and study it. The easiest way to get going is by example. The way to do that is XML - MLT XML specifically, which is ShotcutвЂ™s project file format. Now, letвЂ™s say you want to automate or like import something. Basically, you give it a name, and Shotcut adds a number into it, and they all get named the same but with a number. However, the export file name is not very controllable. That implies using the Playlist instead of Timeline. Where/how do I import that file and what format is needed? The question I have - you mention that вЂif you have a file that lists in/out pointsвЂ™. The overlap issue mentioned by Brian above would still need to be treated somehow, not sure how much special this kind of вЂњempty clipвЂќ can get. This clip could then be placed and resized on a track and follow rules just as any other clip (I mean the ripple/trim/copy logic), this combined with the above note on clip filename as a label (and even color if possible) could act as quick markers in the timeline. Of course, this would limit everything to clip boundaries, for arbitrary timestamps I would say weвЂ™d need the concept of an вЂњemptyвЂќ clip (I remember this from the Blender 3D application, where you could add this Empty in the world as a valid object and interact with it just as with any other object, but it had no actual visiblity or presence in the scene/render, it was just used as a helper to relate or link stuff). The filename area could also be replaced by a label or tag (if this is possible by design? adding a new string field and always using that instead of the filename if not null/empty).

Just throwing a few ideas and expanding on this: I was thinking a quick and easy way to mark clips on timeline would be to be able to change the color of a particular clip OR the clip label (I mean the filename that appears on top) background color to a set of maybe 5 predefined colors? (IвЂ™m thinking some red to green or some set of primary colors, similar to the basic 5 star rating in many image apps, to quickly assign a grade/tag to a clip - this would be the main use for me, to mark a clip as вЂњneeds editing/trimmingвЂќ, вЂњneeds color correction/filtersвЂќ or вЂњfinishedвЂќ). IвЂ™d be curious to understand to what extent this scenario may be covered by the current plans.ДЄlso, can the ability to add notes to each individual marker be included? Notes which can be viewed by hovering the mouse over it and also opening a small window of some kind for more info and options?ДЄnd will a choice of different colors for the markers be made available? The track itself would be ignored by any video/audio processing, except cut/trim where the usual ripple (or not) rules would have to apply.

Ideally it would allow to jump back and forth between the markers for easier navigation. It would be great if there was a way to import a simple text file into SC (Audacity has start time, end time and label text, on one line per marker) that appeared in a separate track in the timeline, like the label track in Audacity.

Not knowing what is actually on the roadmap in detail here is a use-case which I would find useful:ДЇor more complex audio I like to get all audio cutting and mixing done in Audacity, ending up with a final audio track with several labeled markers indicating where I would like to have my video transitions. I see that вЂњmarkersвЂќ is on the SC roadmap and I also read a couple of posts about desired usage of markers (inlcuding the recent add-on)
