Markers Import and Export

Markers can be exported into different output formats and imported via XML files.

The exported marker files can contain the following information:

  • Marker types

  • Marker names

  • Region lengths

  • Comments

  • Sample rate of the file that contains the markers

  • Position of each marker in samples

  • Position of each marker on the timeline

The marker types are saved in Unicode.

If the sample rate of the imported markers differs, the markers are automatically adapted to the new sample rate.

For importing markers, the XML files must be formatted like the file that is created when you export markers. To create a custom marker file with a text editor or script, use an exported marker file as a reference. Marker files must at least include the marker position in sample position units.

You can also import XML marker files to your batch process to apply a marker structure to multiple files.

Note

In the Audio Editor, markers that are located beyond the end of an audio file are not imported.
