Exporting markers to TMGPENC Authoring Works

dxdy wrote on 6/9/2015, 7:15 AM

I generally use TMPGENC Mastering Works to render MPG2 files for DVDs. The markers on the Vegas timeline do not survive for use in TMPGENC Authoring Works. TAW can import a "keyframe file" with the markers. Here is the format:



5042

#Name=Waltz of the Hours



14167

#Name=Dawn



19154

#Name=Prayer

The number is the frame number, there is a blank line after every marker. The file is a straight text file, with .keyframe filename extension.

I can do this manually, exporting a marker file using VASST, but the format is not quite right. I need to edit it using Wordpad or somesuch. It works, just a little clunky.

I would really love to have a script that would do this for me. In a long-ago search, I found reference to a script that established the frame numbers, but at the time TMPGENC Authoring Works wouldn't bring in the marker names.

Does anyone have a script like this?

TIA,

Fred

Easy with Vegasaur Toolkit. Its Markers tool supports custom formats using special macros.

format:



### TMPGENC Authoring Works

{saf}{nl}

#Name={label}{nl}

{nl}

Explanation:
{saf} - marker's position (start) in absolute frames
{nl} - new line
{label} - marker's text
etc.

You save this code as a preset and use whenever you need...
