Marker colors are now retained between MixStage™ and Pro Tools for seamless integration using AAF export from MixStage and drag and drop into Pro Tools. See the last part of this article for color-matching settings.


To download markers from MixStage™, click the Cloud Download icon in your marker list.

If you want to export specific markers only, search/filter them before clicking the cloud download icon. The search/filter will let you export only the filtered markers.

Click on cloud_download

Choose the Pro Tools AAF Option

Pro tools can handle MIDI and AAF markers, but the AAF option is preferred for color compatibility. Please select the "Pro Tools AAF" option in the export pop-up.

Click on Pro Tools AAF

Save to disk

A new window will appear when your AAF file is ready for download. Click on "DOWNLOAD PT MARKER" to save an AAF file containing the markers to your hard drive.

Import into Pro Tools

Drag and drop the created file directly onto your track list within Pro Tools .


Ensure "markers" is selected under import options, then click OK.



All markers with the correct position, name, and color are now available on your Pro Tools timeline.


TIP: Adjust MixStage™ Marker colors to match your Pro Tools marker colors

MixStage™ Setup

Click to the configure button in your dashboard -> Sessions.


Use the toggle button to switch between the different color schemes.

Click Save to update the Color Scheme to Pro Tools Colors. Your MixStage™ markers will now have the same color as the Pro Tools markers.
