Workflow Tutorial1. Export a TXT marker file from Avid Media Composer
To export timeline markers, go to: "Tools -> Marker". Right Click on "Export Markers as Text".
2. Use the "Marker Converter" to convert the TXT marker file into an EDL marker file
Open the free Marker Converter, select "Avid Media Composer > Marker Text (.txt)" and set "convert" to "DaVinci Resolve > Sequence (.edl)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.
3. Import the EDL marker file in DaVinci Resolve
- Create the new sequence or open the sequence in your project.
- Right-click the Sequence in your Media tab. It will open the popup menu.
- Navigate to: "Timelines > Import > Timeline Markers from EDL".
- Select the EDL marker file for Resolve and the markers will load.
ℹ️ If you don't see any markers, make sure they are in the correct timecode range and try zooming out of your timeline. If you cannot find the Timeline Markers, make sure you have selected a sequence in your Media tab. Resolve might not support special characters in marker names and comments.
