Can Automation Blocks create a number at every marker?

Hi,

I have a sequence with 100+ markers, and I’d like to number them visually so that each number appears in the corner of the video. I already have a MOGRT with the basic text style I want, but manually placing and changing each one would take a lot of time.

Is there a way to automate this with Automation Blocks? Ideally, I want each marker to act as a boundary between numbers, so between marker 1 and 2, it shows "1", between 2 and 3 it shows "2", and so on.

I also have a small timer clip that I place under each number. Would it be possible to automatically adjust its duration to perfectly fit between each pair of markers?

Thanks in advance!

The automatic shot numbering tool  from the commnity library of Automation Blocks adds a mogrt with a number on top of each clip.

You can try to modify this script to loop over all markers instead of. looping over the clips of the sequence.
