About AudioToMarkers

AudioToMarkers, created by Lloyd Alvarez, reads audio intensity keyframes and offers three possible outputs: placing markers on a chosen layer, splitting that layer at audio peaks, or generating a new text layer with incrementing numbers. The user selects an audio layer, runs the After Effects Keyframe Assistant command “Convert Audio to Keyframes,” then launches the script, refreshes the layer list if needed, and chooses the desired output. The script supports After Effects versions from CS6 through the 2026 release, including all intermediate CC and 2020‑2025 builds. Version 1.54 (released August 2021) fixed a bug affecting compositions that do not start at time 0, and earlier updates added Sound Keys integration and a minimum‑frames‑before‑cut option.
