How to convert markers from Avid Pro Tools into Avid Media Composer markers?

Guide

1. Export Markers from Avid Pro Tools

Open the Markers panel in Pro Tools and export the markers as the .txt file. Alternatively, you can choose "File > Export > Session Info As Text" from the Pro Tools menu and select the Include Markers option to create the text file containing the markers with their location, name, and comments.

2. Use the "Marker Converter" to convert the TXT Markers marker file into a XML marker file

Open the free Marker Converter, select "Avid Pro Tools > TXT Marker (.txt)" and set "convert" to "Avid Media Composer > Marker XML (.xml)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

3. Import the XML marker file into Avid Media Composer

To import timeline markers, go to: "Tools -> Marker". Right Click on "Import Markers". Select the XML file and import.

ℹ️ Avid Media Composer might fail importing markers if they overlap.

4. Done
