Convert DaVinci Resolve Markers to YouTube-Compatible Timelines
I use markers in DaVinci Resolve to annotate videos for show notes and navigation links in YouTube video descriptions.

To output the marker info as an EDL, activate the timeline whose markers you want to output, then in the Media tab, right-click on the timeline, select Timelines → Export → Timeline Markers to EDL… and save the EDL file.
⚠︎If the timeline isn't open, the Timeline Markers to EDL menu item will not be available.

Then, use the following python script to output the marker info in the format:
