How do I add chapter markers in iMovie 11?

On the previous version of iMovie I used chapter markers frequently, but cannot find them on iMovie 11.  Do they exist?  And if so, how can I access that feature?

iMovie version 10 (newest version) doesn't have a chapter marker feature.
iMovie version 9 is still installed and is in your Applications folder.

  • How do you add chapter markers to your podcast?

    Does anyone know how to add chapter markers to a podcast so that listeners can skip to the section they are interested in? And how to change the artwork as the chapters change?

    In Garageband 3 - you can build the enhanced podcast right in the Garageband - No more need for Chapter Tool Me.
    If you are looking to add chapters to a MP3 file with a Mac or PC, the only thing that comes close is a service called Audio Merge.
    http://www.audiomerge.com/
    but this is only if the person is listening from a Web Browser.
    But at least it is a way to do something now if you are on a Windows machine.
    There are also some other neat features - You can add Polls, Comment Feedback. This works for Audio and Video.

  • How do I insert chapter markers in iMovie '11?

    In my various Google searches, I keep reading references to inserting chapter markers in iMovie, usually earlier versions. How can I manually insert chapter markers using iMovie '11? I really don't want to use iDVD, which apparently only lets you select how many minutes are between each chapter.

    enable "show advanced tools" in iMovie preferences then you will see the little balloon indicated by the arrow.
    drag it where you want to have your chapter in the project, give it a name, you're done.
    when you'll export your movie and have it in idvd you'll automatically have the movie split in the chapters you've made.
    Cheers,

  • How can I add chapter markers in the new iMovie (2013)?

    I like to have chapter markers in my movies so that when I make the dvd the menu allows me to go to different chapters easily in the movie.  The old version of imovie had this feature and I can't seem to find it in this new version.

    Since Apple discontinued iDVD the newest version of iMovie can't create chapter markers.
    Fine, so how do I set chapters for my Podcasts and QuickTime movie ?

  • HOW TO ADD CHAPTER MARKERS FOR IDVD

    how do you add chapter markers for iDVD import?

    FCP does not have that capability. You can add chapter markers in Compressor, but that would be another recompression step, and you can dd them in GarageBand. Perhaps it might be best to add them in iDVD. Can you add them in iDVD?
    It would be an excellent feature request to have them in FCP, though I'm not sure how they would implement it.

  • How to add chapter markers in GarageBand

    I have never added chapter markers in GarageBand, and I assume that most other iMovie users had not either. Here is a little walkthrough I wrote up after going through the process.

    Barbara,
    I agree with WT that the user manual is worth taking a look at. Here is a link to the marker editing process – which takes place in the Preview window of Compressor.
    If you continue to encounter problems, provide us with additional details about your project and what issues you've encountered.
    Good luck.

  • How to set chapter markers in imovie 10

    I am looking to set chapter markers at fixed intervals in imovie 10 as well as set custom chapter markers in family videos that I am converting from 8 mm tape.  Does anyone know how to do this in imovie version 10.0.6.  Thanks

    Apple has removed the ability to set chapter markers with iMovie 10.
    I use iMovie HD 06 or iMovie 11. (My favorite is iMovie HD 06.)  Both are readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06 or iLife 11. With these versions of iMovie one click will set your chapter markers. These markers are automatically recognized by iDVD.

  • How to use chapter markers in imovie

    When I make a movie in i-movie with "chapter markers" and then transfer it over to i-tunes to play on my i-pod touch. The titles can be seen on my i-tunes but not on my i-pod touch ver 2, I can see the chapter markers but then are all "Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc...not what I named them. They can be seen on my original i-pod touch. So what am i doing wrong with how i am making the movie or how I am playing/transfering them.

  • How to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline?

    Is it possible to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline without going 1 by 1?  I have over 1,000 clips in the timeline and I need to add a chapter marker for every clip.

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not. I've been using Compound clips, and I wanted chapter markers at the start of each compound clip, with the text in the marker set to the name of the compound clip.
    I developed a keystroke workflow to do this, then used an application called "Keyboard Maestro" to record the keystrokes and reply them each time I press a hotkey. I had to add some timing delays, but once I did, it works great. All I have to do is press the hotkey, and it moves to the start of the next clip and adds the chapter marker. I even created another keystroke that does this 10 times in a row, so I only had to press it once for each 10 clips (because of timing issues, you can't just press the hotkey 10 times quickly).
    If you're interested in more details, I can supply them, but I won't bother unless this sounds like something that might help you.

  • What Software Do I need to add Chapter Markers

    I've got a 55 min QuickTime movie file that I'd like to simply add Chapter Makers as well as setup a Chapter Menu selection at that beginning.
    Also, I'd like to be able to render this file to a format that will playback on any DVD player.
    To be able to edit/sweeten the audio and/or video is not a priority....I'd just need to add chapters so to divide up this one-long-movie into...well...chapters.
    What software do I need that will do this?
    Thanks.
    Mac 17" MacBook Pro
    Mac OSX 10.4.10
    Processor: 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
    Memory: 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

    You can add chapter markers using Quicktime Pro if you don't need to edit the movie.
    You can find detailed instructions in the Apple document Chapter Tracks.
    These instructions teach how to add a chapter track, containing your chapter titles and timecodes, to an existing quicktime movie without using iMovie or FCE or other editing software. No codec, compression, or conversion is applied to your video and audio, which are left alone. Only a new text track with adequate formatting is added.
    A few additional notes:
    - you need Quicktime Pro (30$)
    - you must correct a couple of points in the Apple instructions:
    a. in step 3. you have first to +enable the text track+ in the Property Window of the movie, and then you can use the Text to Text option in the Export Menu (otherwise no Text to Text option is made available).
    b. step 10 must be corrected as follow: +"Open Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, choose the *Video Track* ( not: new text track). Choose Other Settings then choose your Text track in the Chapters popup"+

  • For what reasons would you not be able to add chapter markers to a project?

    New to this...I will try to give you the detail you need to answer without giving you a long story. I am actually asking this question because I have a video production company working on my wedding video..they are using iDVD to burn but I am not sure if they are using iMovie to compose or some other software. Anyways, this is actually the second time around with my video. They produced it 18 months ago and it looked beautiful! The only problem was that we realized 10 months later that there was an audio problem with the wedding ceremony. In the meantime, the person who originally worked on the project left with the software and the equipment. So, they had to start over and have been working on the redo since February and I think I am the iDVD "test rat". They are telling me now that it is not possible to add chapter markers to the project in iDVD. And this is part of the e-mail they sent me with a supposed explanation:
    +I took your corrected DVD to the Apple Store and the training expert explained to me that this program only shows each chapter at a time and the program will automatically go back to the menu after each chapter+.
    From what I have been reading on the discussion boards, the only reason that adding chapter markers would not be possible is that they are using iDVD '08 (since they purchased the software in February, I don't think this is possible) or that they did not use the original wedding tape to create the new DVD project..they used the already broken down video segments from the 1st DVD and just put them in menu folders??? Any help or explanation would be GREATLY appreciated! If there is any additional information you might need, I will do my best to provide it.
    THANKS!!!

    Hi cooperjb,
    Welcome to apple discussions. iDvd is consumer authoring software. DVDSP on the other hand is part of FCS 2 / apple's top of the line / professional DVD authoring software. There are some significant (huge) differences between the two apps which I won't go into great details here since I could likely fill a text book on this very subject. Instead you can search this forum/s for a few prior posts as well as apple's knowledge base (KB) for further details on exactly why pros prefer to use Apple's FCS 2 as opposed to the i-Apps.
    As much as one may want iDvd to act and perform exactly like Professional Software, It is not. It's intended for consumers (and prosumers).
    On a less serious note, this one's always good for a laugh:

  • How do you insert chapter markers

    I've upgraded to the new iMovie and adding chapterd is gone, is there another option??

    When you upgarded to 10, version 9 was left behind in your Applications folder.
    You could use it instead of 9 or import a finished project from 10 into it and add you chapter markers.
    There are also a couple apps in the Mac App Store that will add chapter markers. I don't have any experience with them.
    Search the store using "chapter marker" and you'll find them.

  • IDVD will not allow me to add chapter markers

    When I made my iPhotos into an iMovie and then sent it via Media Browser to iDVD, it will not allow me to add chapter markers and there are no buttons visible for play movie or scene selection. I am using iDVD 7.0.3.

    After you place chapter markers within iMovie, you don't want to use the "Share to iDVD" option... Instead, click on the Share to QT (or media browser) option. Next, within iDVD, insert your movie file from the media browser section of iDVD, and all your chapters would be recognized correctly by iDVD. When you directly share to iDVD, it creates an auto-play movie, so you don't get to see the menu, until the movie plays completely.
    Two bugs exist with iDVD: one, if you change your movie later, iDVD fails to update the chapter markers correctly. Second, you can no longer use your mouse to change the static images for the chapters (Another poster on this forum discovered a workaround for this using arrow keys instead - pretty ingenious find!)

  • Possible To Add Chapter Markers To iDVD Slide Shows?

    Is it possible to add chapter markers to iDVD slideshows, or is that only possible in movies?
    I have a slideshow prepared with over 300 photos, and would really like to be able to create chapter markers [starting points] so a viewer doesn't have to click through so many photos to find a particular photo. This probably cannot be done, but I didn't want to proceed with my project, IF it is a possibility, and I am just missing some quick way to do this.

    The only way to create chapters in a slideshow is to create the slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie. This way you can create Chapter markers that will show up in menus.
    Each slide in an iDVD created slideshow is actually a different Chapter - that's why some set-top DVD players drop the audio on slide changes and why each slideshow can only have 99 slides.

  • Is there any way to add chapter markers running Mavericks? Is there a reason they have been stripped out the new OSX?

    Is there any way to add chapter markers running Mavericks? Is there a reason they have been stripped out the new OSX?
    Depending on your choice of workflows, it appears you can still
    1) Add chapter marks manually with QT 7 Pro,
    2) Add chapter markers graphically using GarageBand,
    3) Use a video editor to set chapter markers graphically,
    4) Use a DVD conversion/burning app to set specific or add equi-interval chapter markers, or
    5) Use a media/device player that adds playback only chapter makers when no chapter track is embedded within the file.
    What kind of chapter markers are you referring to here? Mine are not "stripped out" during normal use but can be automatically removed during various conversion workflows.
