Description

Thanks to EVERYONE who purchased Marker Toolbox for 50% off during the first month!

HUGE THANK YOU to all our early adopters who have provided feedback!

Marker Toolbox allows you to import Vimeo CSV, Wipster CSV, Frame.io FIOJSON, Dropbox Replay JSON, Timecode+ TSV & Email Comments into Apple's Final Cut Pro via a handy Workflow Extension.

You can also use the standalone application to export an EDL for DaVinci Resolve, or a TXT for Avid Media Composer.

You can even OPTIONALLY use OpenAI's ChatGPT to help translate text comments into markers using your own personal OpenAI API key!

If you use Vimeo Review pages or Wipster to share video edits with clients to consolidate feedback, you can simply export a CSV file from Vimeo or Wipster, and drag it into the Workflow Extension to convert the comments into Markers within Final Cut Pro. It's fast and easy!

Dropbox Replay & Frame.io works exactly the same way, except Marker Toolbox will also import any drawn annotations!

Similar to Frame.io's Workflow Extension, the markers come in as a Compound Clip, that you can then "break apart" so that the markers are attached to the clips in your Primary Storyline, meaning that your clients comments stay in the correct position as you make revisions to the edit. For each marker, there's also a title, so that you can easily visually see the comments right in your Viewer - this is great if you need to export an edit with all your client feedback "burnt" into the export.

Replies and the date the comment was added can be included in the Marker names. It also takes "resolved" comments in Vimeo, Wipster, Frame.io & Dropbox Replay, and marks them as "completed" in Final Cut Pro!

You can also easily copy and paste client feedback from emails into the Workflow Extension. In most cases, you can use the "Process Comments Locally" button to use a custom-built algorithm that converts each line of text into a comment. However, you can also the power of OpenAI's ChatGPT to help translate more complicated feedback into markers. You can customise the ChatGPT prompt, and also pick the ChatGPT Model. You supply your own OpenAI API key, giving you full control.

This can be a MASSIVE time saver, as you can simply copy and paste a long list of email comments, and ChatGPT will do the work to convert them into easy-to-read Final Cut Pro markers, that you can then easily navigate via the Timeline Index.

You can also import a Clip, Multicam Clip, or Synchronised Clip from Final Cut Pro, apply markers to it, and then send back to Final Cut Pro!

Marker Toolbox requires Final Cut Pro 10.6.5 or later.

Marker Toolbox was created by LateNite - the same team behind CommandPost, BRAW Toolbox, Gyroflow Toolbox, Transfer Toolbox and the FCP Cafe, Resolve Cafe & Unreal Cafe websites.

The Marker Toolbox icon was designed by the amazing Matthew Skiles.

Excellent addition to FCP

This is a great tool. I have my clients make notes on Vimeo, and Marker Toolbox lets me download a .csv of those comments and create markers on the FCP project/timeline at the proper locations, with notes visible and that will follow the clips as I move them.

Once downloaded and installed it's easy. Downloading the .csv and running it through Marker Toolbox and adding the Markers to the project/timeline takes less than a minute, then you're ready to go.

Really great find!
