I have added several chapter markers to my timeline.
I would like to export them (that's what PP Help said to do) and use a 3rd party tool to add them as bookmarks to my MP4, so users can skip to relevant topics while watching the video.
However... my Marker Panel is completely blank! I tried switching the type of marker, and the colors in the panel... it's still empty. What should I do?
* All Markers is definitely selected. * Nothing is in the search box at all. (I closed it and reopened it just in case: Window > Marker, right? ) * When I selected the sequence and tried File > Export, Markers were greyed out. It thinks I don't HAVE any markers. But why not?? I have a bunch of them showing up on the timeline. I created them like this:
How are you getting that "Search by marker keyword" window? I was just referring to the search item in the Marker panel.
In any event, the fact that Export -> Markers is greyed out points to something else. Even if nothing shows in the Marker because of a random search entry or selecting the wrong markers, it still has the option to export if there are markers in the Sequence.
I would first reset the Workspace or just try a different one.
If that does not work, create a test project/sequence.
1 Close all projects and close and reopen PR.
2 Create the new project on a local drive.
3 Don't add any files via the create project/import window.
4 Add one clip and create a new sequence from that using the new icon.
5 Add a marker and see if it is working correctly.
If that test works, create a new project and import the old project (all or select sequences).
VERY helpful. Yes, in my test project, I see Markers - but in the clip, not on the timeline. As soon as I added my 2 test markers, boom, they appeared in the Markers panel! I successfully exported them to a csv file.
So... Either copy-paste my real project to a fresh one? Or reset preferences? I'll copy over to a test area, so I don't mess anything up. But thanks so much!
I would do this by starting PR without opening any projects, creating a new project, then in the Project Panel, right-click, import, and go to your previous project and select it.
A variety of methods may work. Or not.
For example, when I upgrade to a new version, I always reset preferences and clear the cache. (Hold Shift down when opening PR and pick the options.) And I create a new project without opening any old ones.
Or another possibility (that is already addressed by creating a new project) in your old project, turn OFF Windows -> Workspaces -> "Import workspace from Project" - to make sure a corrupt workspace is not brought in.
For the record: in my original project, I was able to successfully create markers that showed up in the Marker Panel by selecting a clip first. For whatever reason, timeline markers did NOT show up, but clip-level markers DID. So I'm in business!
