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)

Hi Fellas I’m having trouble with the csv to markers script and can’t figure out why. I have used this in the past and it seemed solid. @john-geehreng or @andymilkis do you know why this csv breaks the script? Only 4 out of 18 marks are imported (had to zip it in order to upload). FE_2min_SFX_L…

Hi John. What version of the script are you using and are you getting any errors in the terminal or Flame Console (lower left corner)?

Hi @john-geehreng I’m running v1.3 I checked the terminal and saw these errors which say it can’t see headers with timecode - when I open the csv in libre calc, I can see timecode headers No timecode found. The CSV needs a header that reads ‘Timecode In’. No timecode found. The CSV needs a heade…

I use this script a lot now and whenever there’s a problem, it’s because of the formatting of the .csv. I’ve opened your .csv in OpenOffice Calc and although there are TCs they aren’t in the first column. You need to delete top row of column headings have column 1 just contain TCs have column 2 …

I didn’t know this @cicero - so I did what you suggested but it imported nothing this time. This is the csv I made. FE_2min_SFX_LittleDeath_7_New_Ending_7thMarch_edit_2.zip (1.3 KB) edit - I’ve tried all sorts of edits and using googl sheets and open office and importing the csv direct - it’s ju…

@johnt try this: FE_2min_SFX_LittleDeath_7_New_Ending_7thMarch_rev16.csv.zip (3.7 KB) Deleting the top row will break the script in v1.3. I’ve changed a few things in your .csv. There were a couple of line breaks in the Comment column that didn’t need to be there and caused it to fail. There wer…

Excellent - works fine - thanks for the pointers

Sorry, I’m probably using an older version of the script. I always have to remove the top row of headings which doesn’t have TC in it, otherwise it breaks :thinking: Anyway you beat me to it @john-geehreng ! It was the duplicate entries which were still catching me out. Hope it works for you @johnt …

The last time I used this script it didn’t like multiple comments on the same time code. We often get rounds of feedback from the director and then maybe the creatives join in and either agree or offer an alternative comment but all at the same place on the edit.
