In my case I usually have those comps sequenced in a master composition for easy review. In a shot based project, like feature film, you have a decent amount of compositions that are each dedicated as it’s own shot normally. I never really had a need for them in a large enough capacity previously, but once I did, I immediately started figuring out how to script them. Surprisingly it wasn’t until recently that I started using layer and comp markers heavily. Over the sixteen years that I’ve been working in visual effects, most projects I had were shot based. Fast Marker Creator was one of those scripts. Some of those quick scripts would eventually make their way into a full fledged script with UI as they became a more frequently needed tool. It proved more valuable to spend time coding, if it was gonna save time in the long run. Coding a quick script would resolve an issue here and there. In some cases, I didn’t have the time to do it manually with a fast deadline approaching. These challenges at times were repetitive enough that I did not want to deal with them manually by hand every time. Each project brings it’s own challenges and it’s need for solutions. Over the years I have made many one off scripts. Updated : Added comp marker features, and optimized code.
