There are the sample positions for the start of the regions in your 'StarWarsEnglish-Sample-Reaper+Audition.wav' file ( 0 66586 94954 180650 224888) I think the cue points are encoded to make it difficult to use outside the Adobe family and Premiere's stance in not reading international standard wave file chunks just confirms Adobe's intentions. To me it looks like XMP is a way of sharing your data between Abobe packages in a way they can control and you don't get a choice in. It seemed to only recognise the region start points and store them in the XMP chunk -when re-imported into REAPER, that uses the standard cue and list chunks to show both the start and end points of the regions (REAPER can't read the XMP chunk). I used the FADGI BWFMetadataEdit utility to export the Adobe XMP chunk within 'StarWarsEnglish-Sample-Reaper+Audition.wav' (reproduced below). REAPER Project Markers need a shallower use of the cue/list chunk functionality than with regions -have you tried it with Markers only embedded?

However it failed to translate the marker data as Audition did. Otherwise it's a bit overwhelming to use another program for such a simple task.Īdobe Media encoder is faster to boot than Audition and comes bundled with Premiere, it also includes XMP options. Yes, I will be doing this once or twice a week so no worries.

If you knew the aXML structure for cue points, you could feasably write a script to read BWF chunks and write aXML, but it would be quite involved and you'd want to be doing this very regularly to make it worthwhile. Looks like Audition is your path of least resistance. I'm not sure what Audition does as Adobe tend to do their own thing for intercommunication of their own software packages. REAPER would add it in cue and list chunks after the audio data chunk as it does not write to any XML chunks (Adobe, IBS or EBU flavour) I'm presuming that Audition would preserve this, but add a whole aXML chunk which would include the cue points (XML chunks contain copies of much that is already existent in the standard bext chunk).
