Import Cues
A pop-up will appear on clicking the import cues button.
Mode asks you if you want to merge the CSV with your current cues on the timeline.
Replace will remove all existing cues first.
Merge will add the imported cues to all existing cues.
Merging on cue import allows double entries of cue numbers
If you choose to merge the imported cues to existing cues, PIXERA will not double-check if cue IDs etc are doubled.If in doubt, select Replace!
Destination lets you choose the destination timeline.
Current Timeline: the one you have currently selected and pressed import cues in the inspector
Original Timeline (skip if not existent): the timeline that is specified inside the CSV. WIll be skipped if it is non-existent.

Google or your favorite AI will gladly create a breakdown of the best possible way to open and convert CSV files in Google Sheets, Excel or Apple Numbers.

Besides the usual suspects, there are countless other CSV Viewers/Editors that can be found online.
Reaper
Reaper will only export CSVs to Pixera. Currently, we have no option to generate a CSV that fits the Reaper import standard.
GrandMA
Currently, we have no option to export our Cue list to GrandMA consoles. Only import into PIXERA is supported.
Reaper Setup (Generated with AI)
To export markers from Reaper, navigate to the Marker/Region Manager, export the markers to a file (e.g., CSV), and then import the file into the desired application. Specifically, set the timeline to HH:MM:SS:FF, open the Marker/Region Manager, right-click inside the window, select "Export regions/markers...", choose a file format (like CSV), and save the file.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Set Reaper Timeline to HH:MM:SS:FF
Do this on the top of the Reaper Timeline. Right-click on the top of the ruler area.
The Markers must reflect the HH:MM:SS:FF structure.
Set the timeline format: In Reaper, ensure the timeline is displayed in Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames (HH:MM:SS:FF). You can do this by going to View > Time unit for ruler and selecting the appropriate format.
Open the Marker/Region Manager: Access this window by going to View > Marker/Region Manager.
Export the markers: Right-click inside the Marker/Region Manager window and select "Export regions/markers...".
Choose a file format and location: Select a destination to save the file and choose a file format, and choose export format CSV (Comma Separated Values).
Save the file: Click "Save" to export the markers to the chosen file
