How to export Premiere Pro markers to a list
Markers travel in the Final Cut Pro XML that Premiere Pro exports. Choose File › Export › Final Cut Pro XML, drop the .xml on Conform’s timeline report, and download every marker with its timecode, name and comment as CSV, or as Excel with Pro. Inside Premiere Pro, Window › Markers shows the same markers.

Step by step
How to export Premiere Pro markers to a list
Current Premiere Pro (Adobe’s help pages now call it Premiere). Sequence markers and clip markers on clips in the sequence.
Check the markers in Premiere Pro
- 1Choose Window › Markers to open the Markers panel, which lists every marker of the open clip or sequence.
- 2Double-click a marker to edit its name, comment and type before you export.
Export the sequence as XML
- 1Open the project and the sequence you want to send, and click in the Timeline panel.
- 2Choose File › Export › Final Cut Pro XML.
- 3In the Save Converted Sequence As – Final Cut Pro XML window, choose a location and file name, then click Save.
- 4Open the FCP Translation Results log saved next to the XML to see what Premiere Pro could not convert.
Make the marker list
- 1Drop the .xml on Conform’s timeline report page.
- 2Open the Markers & chapters table: each marker with its timecode, name and comment.
- 3Download it as CSV, or as an Excel workbook with Conform Pro.
When it goes wrong
Common problems and fixes
- Clip markers are missing
- Only markers on clips that are used in the sequence, plus the sequence’s own markers, are in the export. Markers on clips that are only in a bin stay behind.
Open the timeline report
Marker lists, clip lists, music cue sheets and VFX pull lists from a Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or Resolve export, as CSV. Free up to 40 clips, nothing uploaded.
