Premiere Markers export and import: Roundtrip via FCP XML not working

The objective of my project is to create a sports app that records markers and saves it in different formats of XML / CSV that I can then import in different NLE packages.

I have already succeeded with Vegas Pro but also want to support NLEs for MAC-OS.

In order to approach this analytically I have exported a very simple project with 1 sequence including 1 clip and 3 markers (with length zero and length > 0) and exported it
in FCP XML from Adobe Premiere CC and do a round-trip import it via FCP import into Adobe Premiere CC.

This round-trip does not work. Any insight why or any support what other mechanism will work?

Thanks

Could you provide step-by-step instructions, on what you did? How/where did you create the markers?

Round-tripping should work.

Please see the attached movie where I do the export and then do the import. The markers do not come back
even if I put the original video file on the timeline before importing...

Thanks, TK

At 1:48, you say "First attempt of importing XML into empty project gives nothing"...but you don't have the Project panel open, so how could you know?

At 2:01, "Second attempt with a file already in the timeline gives no better results - no markers in either case".

You just imported an mp4 file, by dropping onto an area that says 'drop here to create new sequence'. You now have a new sequence, containing no markers.

Prediction; if you show your Project panel after 1:48, you'll see a sequence, WITH your markers.
