Logging / creating markers for export to Premiere
Morten Skogly
It would be nice to have a way create and export markers to premiere, something like the subtitle export.

Markers in wav files
Perrin Walker
There is a kind of marker that can be used in wav files, which is recognised by Logic Pro X.
My workflow, after using Descript for audio proofing and QA for narration text, involves exporting from Descript, placing such markers in the file using Logic Pro, then converting to Mp3 using Forecast.
I would LOVE to be able to export markers with a lossless audio format, it could save me a lot of time. Even if the markers in the Mp3 exports were the kind that could be read by Logic Pro X, I could use that as a workaround.

Export markers in wav files.
Perrin Walker
My DAW (Logic Pro) supports import and export of markers in .wav files.
I export .wav from Descript and mix/master it in Logic, and for some reason I can't get the markers I need in the exported .wav file. Huge time waster having to add them in the audio without the benefit of the transcript.

Better Marker Export Support
Adam Schoales
I use Descript to do my first pass of my podcast. We started using markers to help with setting up "chapters" in our final export. However I discovered these markers aren't exported when going into Logic Pro. I found a work around involving Adobe Audition but it'd be great to see those markers show up in all DAWs not just one.

Please allow markers export on files with only audio too

Please vote for consideration of the possibility to allow markers to also be exported on files with only audio(right now it’s only possible for video files).

Trying to understand... (I'm struggling with markers/inline comments/comments and aligning/linking with silent space on the time axis and with aligning to video annotations on the x/y axis in Descript)
Descript offers offers two things:
1) The wrench above the script has a copy highlights option that gets the text (missing time stamps)
2) The shift+cmd+c offers a clip to composition that creates or adds highlighted text to a new composition that can be exported
Neither option includes time stamps for the original work.
Are you wanting that information to be included or is it something else?
The export feature does allow marker timing to be seen. I guess this is what you need... However, mp3 doesn't. I notice that only the mp4 export format allows exporting markers as chapters. The markers can be seen in DaVinci Resolve as I show in this other feature request: https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/allow-commenting-on-markers
Maybe there is an audio tool that can use mp4 and since the mp4 has the chapters, you can streamline your workflow? DaVinci Resolve is pretty amazing and free. Perhaps it's a solution...
Maybe that will help, but again, I would like to understand better what process you are trying to accomplish.
In any case, if they offer the ability to include time stamps, I would like to also see a way to export links directly back to each location similar to how DEVONthink allows me to link to videos with time codes or YouTube allows us to link to videos with time codes by including the https: address and a ?time=54m23s in the URL.
Or are you just wanting to have a dual export?
File 1: mp3
File 2: marker text timings
If that's the case, I wonder if we can't do it with some type of batch export. For instance, I would like to export an entire folder - all the transcripts in one shot and all the videos in one shot.
If the idea is to setup a multi-file export where we select the folder or files to export and then check the various types of exports (along with parameters for each kind) - building a list of export tasks and then executing them in a loop, that might be helpful.

This is an extra post-processing step I have to do by (a) exporting the session to Adobe Audition, (b) exporting the markers to CSV, (c) opening the exported WAV file from Descript, (d) importing markers from CSV, (e) saving the WAV file.
Would be huge if directly added as file cues.

this should be pretty trivial and would be a massive help for post-processing
