Add Edit Markers
  • I don't see how to use this to improve my efficiency.
    Do you have any tips ? How do you use it yourself?

    Usually I use only one marker a the end of a precomposed element to make the correct timing transition in the parent composition between all precomposed elements.
    Maybe you know some interesting uses of them ?

    Thank you !
  • This is the most useless script I've ever seen on this site.
  • This is useful if you want to see your edit points when the layers are pre-comped.  Also just because something is not immediately useful to you it does not mean it is "useless" or not useful to someone.  Please keep your comments constructive.

    I created this on a request from Aetuts+ who will be releasing a tutorial that incorporates this in it's workflow.  We will post a link to it once it is publshed.

    It's just what I've been looking for! 
    Ilyes DAOUDI asked how it can improve efficiency: I get a lot of edit beds from my producers which I then break down into individual cuts, but keep in one comp. Often I need to know the length of each cut/clip, and by having a marker at the beginning and end of each clip, then alt clicking on the first marker and then the end marker I get an exact reading of the duration of the clip in the info palette. This script saves me doing the markers manually. When minutes count it helps a lot. Very useful. Thanks!

    Awesome tip ! :D

    I don't do much editing.
    I'm sure it will help plenty of people, as always with your scripts !

    Thanks for sharing 

  • Probably a useless comment on an 8-year-old script, but another thing that would be handy is creating split markers for the duration of a layer, especially on the comp level. In any case, this is going to save me a ton of time today, so well worth it. Thanks!

    Not useless at all! Check the latest version ;-)
