Text to timecode?
-
I have a text file with several markers in timecode format, and I'm trying to input these values into Isadora (with something like Read Text From File). Is there any way I could have Isadora read this file and somehow convert them into into actual timecode?

It depends on what your text file looks like and whether you can easily reformat it. If your text looks like this:

You can use the Data array actor. By changing the Recall value, you can call up the corresponding line from your text file.



For the same text file you can also use the "Read Text from File" actor. Set auto read to on and read mode to line. You recall the line with the start input (take care 0 is the first line)

If your text has characters before and/or after the timecode ( - 00:00:01:08,)
you can use the Text chopper actor.
It is IMPORTANT that the text file is in the same folder as the Izzy file.
