You can export your timeline markers in DaVinci Resolve by right-clicking your timeline, navigating to `Timelines` → `Export` → `Timeline Markers to EDL...`.
Then simply use the CLI to convert the markers to timestamps. Let's take the following EDL export as example.
> timeline.edl
```edl
TITLE: Example Video
FCM: NON-DROP FRAME
001 001 V C 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:01 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:01
|C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Intro |D:1
002 001 V C 00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16 00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16
|C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Stuff |D:1
003 001 V C 00:01:03:54 00:02:10:16 00:02:10:15 00:02:10:16
|C:ResolveColorGreen |M:Don't export this! |D:1
004 001 V C 00:04:32:13 00:04:32:14 00:04:32:13 00:04:32:14
|C:ResolveColorBlue |M:Outro |D:1
```
Now, you can execute the tool with the following arguments.
```
chapterize timeline.edl \
-c ResolveColorBlue \
-f 60 \
-o timeline.txt
```
The result will look like following.
> timeline.txt
```
00:00 Intro
02:10 Stuff
04:32 Outro
```
