Frame rate is used to validate frame values and sync with the Marker EDL tool. Leave at 23.98/24 if unsure — it accepts frames 00–23.
What gets detected
Any timecode in HH:MM:SS:FF (non-drop) or HH:MM:SS;FF (drop-frame) format. The leading hours digit can be one or two digits. Timecodes can appear anywhere in the text — at line starts, mid-sentence, after bullets or dashes. Invalid values (frames ≥ fps, seconds ≥ 60) are flagged rather than silently included.
Multi-line notes
A comment runs from the end of its timecode to the start of the next timecode — regardless of line breaks. This means a note that wraps across two or three lines is captured in full. Line breaks within a comment are collapsed to a single space in the CSV output.
Ranges
When two timecodes appear on the same line separated by a dash, en-dash, em-dash, or the word "to" or "thru", they are treated as an in/out range. The in-point is the primary key; the range is preserved in the comment as [01:00:04:00–01:00:06:08] prefix.
Editing before export
Every parsed entry is editable before export. Click any comment cell to edit it directly. Remove false positives with the ✕ button. Re-order is not needed — entries are sorted by timecode automatically.
