Load markers not working?

Marc S wrote on 8/27/2009, 11:52 PM

I am trying to load markers from file into DVD Architect but when I click the "Load Markers" button above the timeline nothing happens. What I mean is that it does not open up a box form me to choose my marker files. Any ideas? The button is active (not greyed out), I have the timeline selected and when I press the button it graphically goes up and down but nothing happens.

Thanks, Marc

Can you confirm that your markers were added and saved to the file in Vegas?

It's not supposed to. It simply loads the markers-- created in Vegas when you choose the "Save markers with file" option -- associated with that video. Normally, DVDA loads this file automatically. The button is for if DVDA doesn't load it for some reason or if you have gone back into Vegas and created a new marker file.

How did you create the file that you're trying to load? If used the "Save markers with file" render option, markers should load automatically. If you used a script to create markers without rendering, the script should ask you for the name of the video file you're creating the markers for; make sure you enter the exact name of that file including the extension. This is how DVDA confirms that it's loading the right file. And don't bother trying to rename the marker file -- the media's filename is embedded within it.

Rob,

Thank you. I did not understand how this worked. I am exporting markers using the Vasst script. I also found that TMPEG uses the M2v extension so I had to change that as well in my script name. It works now.

Many thanks, Marc
