Markerkleuren

Er zijn geen uniforme regels voor markerkleuren in de verschillende software. Elk programma gebruikt andere kleurtonen en deels ook andere kleurnamen. De markerconverter van EditingTools.io probeert de markerkleur toe te wijzen aan de dichtstbijzijnde kleurgroep.

Met deze grafiek krijgt u een overzicht van welke kleuren worden herkend en hoe ze worden geïnterpreteerd.



Standaard markerkleur

Je kunt een standaard markerkleur definiëren die moet worden gebruikt als er geen kleur is gedefinieerd of onbekend is in het importbestand.



Filter markers

Met deze functie kun je markers filteren en aangeven dat alleen bepaalde markers worden geconverteerd. Als je meer dan één kleur wilt filteren, gebruik dan de functie "markerkleuren wijzigen".



Alle markers verschuiven (Offset)

Gebruik deze functie om alle markers met een bepaald bereik te verplaatsen. Je kunt een positieve of negatieve waarde invoeren.



Inclusief clipmarkers

Activeer deze optie om clipmarkers op te nemen in Premiere Pro XML en FCP7 XML. Deze optie voegt ook spoor-id, clipnaam, bron, brontijdcode in en brontijdcode uit toe aan CSV-exports.



Op kleur gebaseerde markernamen instellen

Overschrijf markernamen en wijs een aparte markertitel toe voor elke kleur. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld alle gele markers automatisch "VFX" noemen en alle blauwe markers "ADR" zonder dat de beschrijving verloren gaat.





Markerkleuren wijzigen

Gebruik deze functie om de markerkleuren opnieuw toe te wijzen. Definieer simpelweg de nieuwe markerkleuren via de selectievelden. Je kunt deze optie ook gebruiken als geavanceerd kleurenfilter.



Meerdere markerbestanden samenvoegen

Je kunt tot 20 verschillende markerbestanden tegelijk uploaden en combineren tot één markerbestand. Houd er rekening mee dat deze bestanden allemaal hetzelfde formaat moeten hebben.



Sequence Start / Sessie Start

Voer de starttijdcode van je sessie of montagereeks in, als je iets anders gebruikt dan 00:00:00:00. Dit is bijvoorbeeld nodig als je naar Avid Pro Tools en Adobe Premiere Pro of van Frame.io of Pix naar een ander formaat converteert.



Videoclips converteren in markers

Je kunt een EDL-bestand selecteren en van elke clip een marker maken. Dit is handig om bijvoorbeeld alle VFX-opnames tegelijk te markeren. Zet ze op een aparte track in een montageprogramma en exporteer een EDL met alleen deze videotrack. Stel het veld "Convert van" in op "Convert clips van EDL naar markers".

How to import MIDI markers into Pro Tools?

Under "File -> Import -> Midi" you can import the generated marker file into Pro Tools. Select the file and then "Add Midi Track".
