How to convert comments from Pix into Avid Pro Tools markers?

Guide

1. Export a CSV marker file from Pix

Open the comments panel on the right side in Pix. Press the three dots and select "Export". Now you can then download the CSV file from Pix.

ℹ️ The timecode in Pix starts with 00:00:00:00 for each clip, so you may need to use the offset function on EditingTools.io to sync it with you timeline or move it manually in your NLE (editing software).

2. Use the "Marker Converter" to convert the CSV marker file into a ptx marker file

Open the free Marker Converter, select "Pix Systems > Comments (.csv)" and set "convert" to "Pro Tools > PTX File (.ptx)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

3. Import the ptx marker file into Avid Pro Tools

To import markers go to "File -> Import -> Session Data". Select the ptx file and make sure to check the "Ruler Markers" box in the Session Data panel before pressing OK. Your markers should now be imported into our ProTools Session.

4. Done
