Just curious if anyone has advice on the best way to get comments from Frame IO into Flame. The best way I’ve found so far is via Premiere. I log into the account from Premiere with the FIO plugin and the comments flow into a timeline. I then export out an AAF which translates the comments to mar…

csv_to_markers_rev.zip (5.1 KB) OK. I got it to work! Put the csv_to_markers.py file in /opt/Autodesk/shared python The CSV has to have two columns. First one is TC and second is comments No labels at the top (you can see it in the csv)

Thanks Richard. I’ll take a look and see if it’s something that can be added via burn in metadata!

Nothing you can do I don’t believe. I was inspired to get going and give Python a go. Nah I was trying to use the Marker comments to add burnIn notes but you can’t do a line break in Flame :slightly_frowning_face: Have you tried this?

No markers coming through but getting this in the Flame shell: CSV to Segment Markers execute callback [<function get_media_panel_custom_ui_actions..add_markers at 0x7f9b169f59e0>((<…

Hmmmm. I only tested it on a single layer timeline. Could that be it?

Wait…I just re-read what you wrote. Can you send me the .csv and I’ll test it here?

I could be wrong but I think that the Index out of Range has something to do with how the CSV is getting parsed.
