Video editors working with Avid often rely on “markers” to insert notes and comments while exchanging aaf with the audio dept; I was wondering if there’s any way to show these markers inside a Nuendo session? thanks for your help

Are these marker tracks part of the AAF? AFAIK, that isn’t in the AAF-specs. Or are these marker tracks generated from the metadata within the audiofiles? If so, then you should be able to see that information in the Project Infoline too. (Not 100% sure of the above …) Anyway, regarding the Avid…

Yes they’re part of the aaf, they’re basically short written notes set at a specific timecode that are displayed as flags on the timeline. You are right, one can always ask for additional files in the specs but Avid is the de facto standard in video editing so video editors are not enthusiast when …

Owkeej … I learned something today. When importing/converting an AAF through AA translator (AAF=> Steinberg XML), indeed a Marker track is generated. Nuendo reads the marker track correctly, the markers are present, but no additional information is present. So I have numbered markers at a specifi…
