I'm currently trying to import markers in a Premiere plugin.
I'm using a Premiere Import plugin and an After Effects Effect plugin.
The AEGP_MarkerSuite2 offers a NewMarker API, but it seems that it's not available in Premiere.
The PrSDKMarkerSuite available in Premiere doesn't look to offer any way to create markers.
What's the most straight forward way to import a bunch of markers into Premiere from a plugin?
Thanks

Hi Patrick,
I'd suggest you save the markers to a text or xml file, import them to Premiere (or pass them from another panek as JSON) and assign them to thei respective clips or sequences. This might help get you started.
Best,

The repository structure just changed today to be more application-agnostic. This change broke any link to Premiere.jsx that wasn't to a specific commit version. As this change literally just happened, I'm helping out by providing an updated link. This is what e.d.​ was referring to.

e.d. I've come across the panel approach to import markers. I'm willing to try and interface a panel to the Import plugin, but I'd like to avoid going down that route. I'm really hoping there's a way to get the markers in from a native plugin.

I'm completely new to Pr Sdk but I really need to develop the same as you. Import a csv or xml file and create markers from the data. Did you have any luck implementing this? Could you point me into some articles/books/repositories to jump start on this? Thank you

What 'data' (video) format are you importing, with a PPro plug-in?
Were you to provide the markers as XMP metadata, PPro would import automatically import them.

Hey Bruce,
We use an Import plugin to parse meta data about our recording, then we use an Effect plugin to stitch several jpeg sequences into a single video on the GPU using user controlled parameters, as each frame is stitched we pull it off the GPU and present it to Premiere.
We're in full control of the format, metadata, etc...so if there's a way that we can create XMP metadata that we can pull in with our metadata that would be outstanding.
To answer your question Pablo,
At the moment we're using the ExtendScript panel to import the markers, it's not quite ideal, but it's not terrible either. If you just need marker importing, then definitely check out the repo that sberic linked to.

What sort of Premiere plug-in?
What's the entire workflow?

Our workflow is currently...
We have control of the format, so we can access the bookmarks at any time in either of the plugins.
Ideally we'd like to automatically populate the timeline with the user's bookmarks when the session is imported.

There now is a free extension that does the job!
Because Adobe has still not integrated this feature, as of April 2021 (PPro 15.0), I have developed an extension that can import timecode-related information from CSV files and will automatically create markers in the active sequence, based on the CSV data. This tool – I called it Markerbox – helps me save a lot of time, and so I want to make it available to everyone.
Markerbox is currently in beta stage, supporting CSV files from Screenlight.tv, Magix Sequoia and Adobe Premiere Pro, and it offers different options for the import, e.g. rules to color-code markers based on edit names. More formats and features are planned.
For the next stages, and especially for the support of further CSV file formats, it would be great to get an idea of what you guys actually want to import. Feel free to check out details at markerbox.pro and contact me directly.

hi, markerbox would help me out.
when i move the markerbox folder into the extensions folder,
Premiere will no longer function. It freezes.
Remove it again, and premiere is back in action.
Another thing... if it hadn't frozen, what is the next step to using markerbox?
What menu, submenu etc do I find it?

Hi Roger, this is definitely not a standard problem. It sounds like you will need individual assistance. I don't think this forum is the right place for that. Please contact me directly: http://markerbox.pro/contact

I downloaded MarkerBox for macOS and installed it according to the instructions. The only sign of correct installation is that it appears under Window Menu> Extensions> Markerbox. Selecting "Markerbox" in the sub-menu doesn't reveal the palette anywhere that i can find it unfortuately. Thoughts?

Hi Markerbox
As i'm wanting to get markers in from a spreadsheet file I'd like to know the format of the CSV files (Column names etc). If your plugin exports Premier Pro markers to a CSV file then I can use that as a template.
Also I want to know if I can load markers with both In and Out points. I'm using it to quickly identify cuts my client wants taken out of the sequence rendering I sent her. So having the In And Out points makes it really clear. If i make cuts in my sequence the footage after that cut changes its timecodes accordingly and doesn't match the instructions sent by client on the rendered timecodes. Hope that makes sense!
My spreadsheet column headers look like this ATM (Duration is calcualted not entered manually by my client):
