Mark This Chapter Marker

On macOS or Linux with a POSIX shell available, tag the good moments while you record so editing takes minutes, not hours. One press appends a timestamped line to a markers file on your disk, so your editor scrubs straight to each one. The key flashes to confirm it logged.

Conductor Deck builds this on a visual canvas and syncs it to your Stream Deck.

Why use this template

Tag the good bits while you record, and editing takes minutes instead of hours. One press appends a timestamped line to a markers file and flashes to confirm. Your editor scrubs straight to each highlight instead of listening to the whole take to find them.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?
No. "Mark This Chapter Marker" runs on Conductor Deck's visual canvas. Import it, then fill in each step's fields (a channel, a scene name, a message) right in the builder. No scripts to write.
Is it free?
Yes. Conductor Deck has a free tier you can import and run templates on, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the monthly run limits and add advanced features when you need them.
What do I need to use this template?
A Conductor Deck account, a Stream Deck (or the in-app virtual deck), and the connected Conductor Deck plugin listed below. Install and link the Conductor Deck plugin before importing, then keep Stream Deck Desktop and the plugin online when this workflow runs. Confirm each local action before import.
Can I change the steps?
Absolutely. The template is a starting point. Add, remove, reorder, or reconfigure any step on the canvas after importing, then sync it to any Stream Deck button.
