Export Video Feedback as Markers to DaVinci, Premiere & Final Cut
Turn a client revision checklist into timeline markers in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut. A practical guide to marker export formats for editors.
A revision checklist is most useful when it lives on your timeline, not in another tab. Modern review tools can export feedback as markers you import straight into your NLE, so each note lands on the exact frame it refers to. Here's how the formats differ and which to pick for your editor.
The format cheat sheet
- DaVinci Resolve → import a marker CSV (or an EDL) to drop notes onto the timeline at their timecodes.
- Premiere Pro → use an FCP7-style XML (XMEML) that carries sequence markers with colors.
- Final Cut Pro → use FCPXML, which also works in Resolve.
- CapCut (PC) → import an SRT; each note becomes a timed cue on the timeline.
- Anything else → a universal EDL (CMX3600) or a plain CSV works almost everywhere.
Why marker colors help
Good exports map a note's category to a marker color — audio, visual, pacing, text. At a glance you can see that the first third of your timeline is all audio fixes and the end is all text corrections, and batch your work accordingly instead of ping-ponging across the cut.
Keep the scope-creep flag
When you export, carry the 'new request' flag into the marker comment. That way, even inside your NLE, you can see which markers are contracted fixes and which are new asks you may need to bill for.
The one-click version
In Prelap, the checklist your client's feedback generates is already timestamped and categorized, so exporting to Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut, or CapCut is a single click — no manual re-typing of timecodes. Try it on your next project and see your client's notes appear as markers on your timeline.
