Looking for Couple of Interested Testers: Resolve Marker Export with Images script

Hi,

I recently developed an app because a client asked if DaVinci Resolve could export mark and shot data similar to Baselight, exporting mark and shot data to a CSV file. My app lets you export timeline markers into either an Excel (.xlsx) workbook or PDF. It captures timestamps, marker names, comments, clip names, and includes image references for each marker.

It's built to handle all the usual frame rates—both non-drop frame and drop frame—as well as interlaced or progressive projects. The client had specific use cases they were interested in like creating VFX lists from markers, providing feedback without sending video links with clients, and generating reports for mastering or conform handovers but its a data reporting tool so can be used for multiple purposes..

I've attached some sample images of the spreadsheet and PDF reports it generates at the bottom of the post.

So far, it's been working smoothly for me. However, I'm keen to get feedback from a few people who might be interested in testing it out in different environments/workflows. Right now, it's only compatible with Windows, and it runs on Python versions from 3.6 to 3.12 within Resolve.

If you're interested in giving it a spin and sharing your thoughts, please drop me a comment or send a message. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Ian

Looks great! I created this manually countless times (in Google Sheets) for VXF list… so very interested in beta testing :)

Ian,

Great job on the app. Are there any plans to develop it for Mac OS running on Intel and Silicon ?

That is pretty amazing. Let me know when and if you have a Mac version.

I have a Windows setup, but I also have a MacBook Air. I'll look into installing Resolve on the Mac tomorrow and see if I can port the app over to macOS. I'll get back to you as soon as I've had a chance to check it out.
 
Hi Ian! That's amazing, PDF reports is crucial to our workflow right now and we are doing the final pdf manually by attaching the screenshots. We also use Editingtools.io to help us converting Timeline markers EDL back and forth from CSV to EDL.

Would love to test it!

This looks brilliant! Populating VFX trackers one screengrab at a time is a total bummer. I'd love to try it out and would buy it if it goes to market.
 
Hi everyone,

For those still interested, I’ve now officially released the app, and it’s available for both Mac (currently limited to Apple Silicon) and PC! You can learn more about it on the ReMark X Product Page or via the ReMark X Support Page.

There’s also a free Lite version available, which allows you to test the app with a maximum of five markers and without some advanced features. One new advanced feature added since the original beta is the ability to have the timecode of a single marker automatically overwritten by the timeline TC in and out of the clip itself, saving you from having to manually create duration markers. However, please note that in DaVinci Resolve, the app will use the clip on the highest visible track.

The app is already being successfully used by a few post houses on their projects, so I’m excited to see how it can help others!
