Reaper Setup (Generated with AI)

To export markers from Reaper, navigate to the Marker/Region Manager, export the markers to a file (e.g., CSV), and then import the file into the desired application. Specifically, set the timeline to HH:MM:SS:FF, open the Marker/Region Manager, right-click inside the window, select "Export regions/markers...", choose a file format (like CSV), and save the file. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  Set the timeline format: In Reaper, ensure the timeline is displayed in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames (HH:MM:SS:FF). You can do this by going to View > Time unit for ruler and selecting the appropriate format.

Open the Marker/Region Manager: Access this window by going to View > Marker/Region Manager. 
Export the markers: Right-click inside the Marker/Region Manager window and select "Export regions/markers...". 
Choose a file format and location: Select a destination to save the file and choose a file format, and choose export format CSV (Comma Separated Values). 
Save the file: Click "Save" to export the markers to the chosen file

Current Known Issues:

• All time values shown as ss:ms. This is being worked on.
