 Defining and adjusting the correct Timecode timestamps in Titan can be an arduous work, with lots of trial and error. This is where Reaper CSV Import comes into play: within [[external:software_list|Reaper]] it is much easier to define exact timestamps (called Markers in Reaper).

+==== - Create Markers ====
+With your track loaded, edited as needed, maybe timecode added, create your markers. The easiest way is to use the keyboard: the ''spacebar'' plays/pauses, and the '' M '' key inserts a marker at the current time. Later, holding the ''Ctrl'' key, you can easily click and move markers to adjust.
+==== - Open the Regions/Marker Manager ====
+Either from the View menu or with ''Ctrl'' ''Alt'' ''Shift'' ''R''

+==== - Export Markers as csv ====
+Inside the Regions/Marker Manager you can further tweak your markers, give them names etc. Finally, right-click, from the menu select ''Export regions/markers...'', and save it as csv to a suitable folder.

+If you want you can open the file in a text editor and have a look:
+{{:external:reaper_5.png?300|}}
+==== - Open Reaper CSV Import ====
+Find it at https://owaits.github.io/avolites-reaperImport/
+==== - Connect, Select, Import ====
+  - connect to your console. Here I hae the Titan Simulator running on the same machine that's why 'localhost' is okay \\ {{:external:reaper_6.png|}}
+  - choose and load the file you have just exported \\ {{:external:reaper_7.png|}}
+  - now the bottom of the page shows the cues and timestamps found in the file: \\ {{:external:reaper_8.png?300|}}
+  - select the cuelist you want to set the timestamps and click ''Import'' \\ {{:external:reaper_9.png|}}
+This will result in your cuelist being updated with the correct legends and timestamps. If there are more cues in the csv file than in the Titan show then new cues will be appended.

+===== Another port =====
+Based on Olie's idea and some of is code I implemented the same thing as one single HTML/JavaScript file. This is online available at https://www.avosupport.de/downloads/icke_siegen/ReaperReader/. You can also download it here: {{ :external:reaperreader.zip |}}. Simply download, unzip, and load this in your browser.
