About Markers
How it works
- Press "Start when the recording starts" as your stream begins. The clock runs on this device.
- Tap "Mark this moment" when something good happens, then pick what it was if you like.
- After the stream, copy the list or download it as a text file, and take it to your edit.
Step by step on stream night
- Open Markers on the phone beside your keyboard, or as a dock in OBS, before you go live.
- Press start the moment your recording starts, so the clock and the recording agree. While the clock runs, the page asks the phone to keep its screen on.
- Tap the big button at each moment worth keeping. A phone that can vibrates briefly, so you know it took.
- Pick a word for the last mark if you like: Clip this, Funny, Clutch, Fail, Chat moment or Cut this out. You can type your own words on any mark later.
- If the clock drifts from the recording, type the time the recording shows (for example 1:23:45) and press "Set the clock".
- Press Stop when the stream ends. Remove any mark you do not want, then Copy or Download the list.
Using the times in a video package
Start a package in the YouEdit chat with the stream's recording. After the first look, the card has a box for comments: paste the list there and say which moments must be in the cut. The times are the recording's own, so they point at the right place.
How it differs from Twitch's own markers
Twitch's /marker command works only on Twitch and only for the channel's own stream. Markers works with any platform, keeps the list on your device, and hands the times straight to whoever edits the video.
Use it inside OBS
OBS can show a web page as a dock: in OBS, open Docks, then Custom Browser Docks, give it a name and paste this page's address. The button then sits beside your scenes.
Questions
- Do I need an account?
- No. Markers works signed out; your list stays on your device until you send or copy it.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. It is made for a phone beside your keyboard. Add it to your Home Screen to keep it a tap away.
- What if the clock drifts from my recording?
- Type the time your recording shows and press "Set the clock": the clock moves to match, and the marks after it follow the recording.
- Will starting a new stream wipe my list?
- Starting a new stream after Stop begins a fresh list, so copy or download the old one first. Clear asks before it removes every mark.
- What does the list look like?
- A line for the date, then one line per mark: the time in the recording and the word you gave it. It pastes anywhere text goes, and the download is a plain text file.
