Export markers from the app

There is no direct export for Pro Tools from the app, but you can use the Marker Converter to convert from another format. Or transfer the project to your EdtingTools.io account and export it from there.

There are 3 different ways to bring markers into Avid Pro Tools. The most suitable of these 3 is the Pro Tools PTX format.

How to import PTX markers into Pro Tools?

In ProTools, go to "File > Import > Session Data". Select and open the generated ".ptx" file. In the "Import Session Data" window, make sure the "Ruler Markers / Memory Locators" box in the lower "Session Data" panel is checked. Press "OK" and your markers will be imported.

Why are PTX conversions not free?

The PTX converter was developed in partnership with Sounds in Sync. Therefore, we are currently unable to offer the converter for free.

How can I convert unlimited PTX files?

We are currently unable to offer a flat rate for PTX conversions. If you need unlimited conversion, you can have a look at EdiMarker from Sounds in Sync. But since most users do not need a ptx converter often, our marker converter is usually the cheaper option.

How to import MIDI markers into Pro Tools?

Under "File -> Import -> Midi" you can import the generated marker file into Pro Tools. Select the file and then "Add Midi Track". Attention, if there is already a midi track with markers you have to remove them first. If your session is not at 00:00:00:00 the imported markers have an offset. Therefore, when converting, specify your timeline start timecode from your Pro Tools session (you can find this option under "more Options" in the form above). Often this is 01:00:00:00.
