1. Export Markers from Avid Pro Tools

Open the Markers panel in Pro Tools and export the markers as the .txt file. Alternatively, you can choose "File > Export > Session Info As Text" from the Pro Tools menu and select the Include Markers option to create the text file containing the markers with their location, name, and comments.

2. Use the "Convertisseur de marqueurs" to convert the TXT Markers marker file into a Final Cut 7 XML marker file

Open the free Convertisseur de marqueurs, select "Avid Pro Tools > TXT Marker (.txt)" and set "convert" to "Adobe Premiere Pro > Sequence (.xml)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

3. Import the Final Cut 7 XML marker file into Adobe Premiere Pro

To import timeline markers, go to "File -> Import" and select the XML file.

If you want to copy these markers into the existing sequence, use the adjustment layer or any other video as placeholder. Then copy the clip and switch to your existing sequence. Move the cursor to the location, where the adjusmtent layer or first marker appeared in the other sequence. Then past it. It will only copy the timeline markers if under setting (in the Markers menu) the option "Copy Paste Includes Sequence Markers" is active.

4. Done
