Marker Creation from Text-Based Editor

This is a feature request, but after playing with the text-based editing workflow for a few hours, it seems like we need some way to quickly generate markers from the text. Right now, the process seems to be that highlighting a section of a transcript creates in and out points on the timeline. It would be great if right at that moment of selection we could create a marker that spanned those start and end points. This could basically give editors a quick way to mark "good take" or "use this" or "this is the part about childhood" etc etc.

 

Instead, unless I am missing something, it seems like after selecting the text, you have to click into the sequence, then hit "m", then do some other fiddly steps to get the marker to span the points that are already selected from the text.

 

So, is there a way to automatically create a marker that has the in and out points as its boundaries? If not, these should be something to consider for this text-based workflow. It needs some kind of commenting or markup system to go alongside it.

I would vote on this several times if I could. 

It seems like creating markers would actually be less work for Premiere than creating full-on captions, but there doesn't appear to be any native way to take advantage of this transcription data and turn it into markers. Alas! 

Agree that you can kind of get there manually, but it requires manual focus-changing between panels, and is not a smooth process at all.

Any movement on this? Frankly, I'm surprised this wouldn't be a given feature.

I basically want a marker in my timeline whenever the speaker changes. I would settle for a simple way to automatically place markers in the timeline at every marker point within the text.

 

I would swear I was able to at least export captions & somehow reimport to create markers akin to importing from another NLE. I could be remembering this workflow for something other than text, but if it inspires ideas.. 

 

Only other thing I can think to do to speak up the process is tab through the caption track & set markers manually.

 

It seems bizarre there isn't just a way to set timeline markers according to markers shown in text. I have to be overlooking something by now?  🙂

FWIW, my endgame is to split out speakers for leveling when not provided with multitrack recording. Wonder if I maybe somehow figured out the afrementioned workaround via Audition. I know I've done this with some tool somewhere. Maybe it was third party.

I believe this is now a feature as of today.  I am running 24.6.0.
