I wrote a quickie script which exports timeline markers in a scene to a CSV folder along with their frame positions. My markers are named after shots, e.g. 04_04_C or 01_02_A2. I wanted to know how long the shots go for, but I didn’t want to figure it out by hand because that’s not how programmers roll.
import bpy import csv import os C = bpy.context markers = {} for m in C.scene.timeline_markers: markers[m.frame] = m.name k = list(markers.keys()) k.sort() frameinfo = [] for frame in k: frameinfo.append( [markers[frame], frame] ) with open(os.path.splitext(bpy.data.filepath)[0]+'_frames.csv', 'w', newline='') as f: writer = csv.writer(f) writer.writerow( [ "Marker", "Frame" ] ) for row in frameinfo: writer.writerow(row) print("All done!")
You can copypaste this script straight into Blender’s text editor and hit “Run Script” to output filename_frames.csv in the directory right next to your currently open file. Yay!
