How do I export timeline markers from DaVinci Resolve?

How do I export sequence markers from Adobe Premiere Pro?

In Premiere Pro, ensure your sequence timeline is selected, then navigate to File > Export > Markers. Choose CSV (Comma Delimited) or Tab-Delimited text. Drop the exported .csv file here to extract all markers.

Why do my DaVinci Resolve markers start at 01:00:00:00?

Broadcast standards historically started program timecode at 1 hour (01:00:00:00) to allow color bars and slate countdowns prior to the program start. This tool automatically detects 1-hour offsets and normalizes them back to 00:00:00:00 so your subtitles align with your video start.

Can I convert an existing SRT subtitle file into DaVinci Resolve markers?

Yes. Simply drop your .srt or .vtt file into the tool. It will generate a DaVinci Resolve Marker EDL (.edl) or Premiere Pro Marker CSV (.csv). In DaVinci Resolve, select Timeline > Import > Timeline Markers from EDL to view your subtitles as markers on the timeline.

Are my project markers or video data uploaded to any server?

No. The entire conversion executes locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your file data never leaves your computer.

Why Resolve Markers Start at 01:00:00:00

Professional television and film delivery specifications require timeline sequences to start at 01:00:00:00 (1 hour) to provide space for tone, color bars, and 2-pop countdowns before the first frame of picture.

When converted to subtitles without offset correction, captions appear with a 1-hour delay. This tool automatically identifies broadcast starts and shifts timecodes back to zero (00:00:00:00).

Converting Subtitles into Timeline Markers

If you receive an SRT subtitle file from a translator or client, drop it into this tool to export a DaVinci Resolve Marker EDL (.edl). In DaVinci Resolve, choose Timeline > Import > Timeline Markers from EDL to place blue dialogue markers directly on your timeline ruler.
