Davinci-Resolve-clip-marker-from-edl

Import clip markers from .edl files in Davinci Resolve

What this script do

1. Check if .edl file with same filename exists in same path as media file
2. If exists, parse the edl file, output starting frame number and color comments for each mark
3. Add marker to each media in project's MediaPool, and clips on track in current opening timeline

問題描述

官方右鍵選單功能只能夠把時間軸 (timeline) 上的標記匯出/匯入 EDL 檔
但是希望能把標記放在(音軌、或影片軌道)上，在拖動素材時標記是黏著的，才方便剪輯

這個腳本做的事

1. 找跟影音檔在同目錄底下且相同名稱的 .edl 檔是否存在
2. 有找到的話，把前述的 .edl 檔用 edl parser 解讀，讀出標記起始影格數及顏色資訊
3. 將標記資訊標在媒體池，以及目前有開啟的時間軸裡的音頻軌道上

如何使用

1. 安裝 Python 2.7
   打開瀏覽器到 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/
   點「Windows x86-64 MSI installer」連結下載後執行。
   安裝結束按「Finish」
2. 把 davinviResolveClipMark.py、edl.py、timeline.py 這三個檔案複製進此目錄裡：
   C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Fusion\Scripts\Comp
3. 打開 Davinci Resolve (版本為 17)，新建新專案，將錄音檔匯入
   注意：Project Setting 裡的 Frame Rate 設定要跟錄音 App 裡的 FPS 設定一致
4. 在頂端選單選 Workspace → Scripts → Comp → davinciResolveClipMark ，即執行腳本
   (簡體中文介面中叫做 工作區 → 腳本→ Comp → davinciResolveClipMark)
5. 執行腳本時，程式會去抓與錄音檔位於同目錄底下且與錄音檔相同檔案名稱的 .edl 檔案，如果有抓到，會把標記資訊標在媒體池，以及目前有開啟的時間軸裡的音頻軌道上

Some discussion not directly solving this problem

   Copying a clip with a marker and pasting it into another project worked for me. The pasted clip carried across the marker.
2. Blackmagic Forum • View topic - Exporting/Importing Clip Markers
   Exporting EDL with markers is also timeline-only, and I don't think it includes the marker notes.
   What I'm trying to do is come up with a way to associate pre-existing data about the clips with the clips. I've even gone so far as to look at the underlying database to figure out where markers are stored. Alas, they are stored in a fieldBlob associated with the clip:

5. Blackmagic Forum • View topic - Saving Markers
   if you create clip markers in the source viewer, those clip markers get attached to the clip in the media pool and will appear when the clip is edited into the timeline.
