Importing Ecamm Marker file into Adobe Premiere Pro

There are a few quick steps to bring markers created using Ecamm into your Adobe Premiere Pro timeline.

Ecamm's marker feature creates a text file containing time stamps and marker text. Although Adobe Premiere's marker import feature is very limited, it's possible to import Ecamm's markers using a free extension.

(Don't worry, you'll only have to follow the first four steps once!)

  1. Download the free MarkerBox extension.
    ​

  2. Install using the steps on the MarkerBox website.
    ​

  3. For newer versions of Premiere, when following the steps in the Trusting the Extension section, also run this Terminal command:
    ​
    ​defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.11 PlayerDebugMode 1
    ​

  4. Quit and re-open Adobe Premiere Pro. You should now see a new MarkerBox extension listed in Extensions sub-menu in the Window menu at the top of the screen. Pick it to open MarkerBox.
    ​

  5. In the MarkerBox window, use Paste from the Edit menu to paste the markers, and then click the Import from text area button.
