timeline_marker package¶
Create coloured markers on top of Maya’s native timeline. Comments can be added to each marker that appear as tool tips.
Installation¶
- Extract the content of the .rar file anywhere on disk.
- Drag the timeline-marker.mel file in Maya to permanently install the script.
Note¶
The UI elements are added to the timeline menu and can be accessed by right clicking on the timeline. You have the option to change the color of your marker points and also add comments where necessary. ToolTips will appear to show the comment while hovering over the timeline. The markers are stored in the maya file.
Command Line + Hotkey¶
The following functions can be used outside of the ui and set as a hotkey. Make sure the language is set to python.
from timeline_marker.ui import TimelineMarker
TimelineMarker.add(frame, colour, comment)
TimelineMarker.set(frames, colours, comments)
TimelineMarker.remove(frame)
TimelineMarker.clear()
