You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
It is essential to make Dropbox Replay compatible with Avid Media Composer Adobe Premiere Pro is very useful for small and medium productions. DaVinci resolve is mainly used for color grading. So...
It's another +1 from me.
Support to export markers from Dropbox Replay to Media Composer would be an absolutely amazing feature. Avid Media Composer is the defacto industry standard and best editing system used by so many production teams; the current workarounds employed use tools like Frame IO, Screenlight, or Wipster which format .TXT files in a way Media Composer's marker panel understands.
This feature wouldn't be that difficult for Dropbox to implement... Let me explain.
Currently, Dropbox Replay plain TXTs are formatted like this:

All Dropbox would have to do is create a new template under 'Export Comments' called Avid Media Composer, and ensure the .TXT export is in the above format which the markers panel will be able to understand.
Alternately, Dropbox could simply convert the CSV (Condensed) into .TXT format, as Media Composer's markers panel understands the condensed CSV formatting, but not the CSV file type.
