    Davinci Resolve - Copy Timecodes by Markers

A small script for copying timecodes based on marker positions. Useful for creating segments on YouTube.
Installation and usage


Download Copy Timecodes by Markers.lua located below (the Raw button to the right of the file title -> Save Link as... or Download ZIP on the top right of the page)
Copy it to the scripts Utility folder
Optionally, change the parameters in the script header (just open it in a text editor and change the parameters after the =)
Open the target timeline in Davinci Resolve and select Copy Timecodes by Markers in the Workspace/Scripts menu
You should see a window with a list of timecodes and their names, and if your system supports it, the text will be automatically copied to the clipboard.
