Chapter Markers and relationship to buttons in Encore

OK...this has to be a basic question BUT: When I go from Premiere CS 3 and send my time line that has chapter markers (and each of these chapter markers has descriptive text)...when I send hit Export to Encore, how do I get a menu that would have a separate "Chapter" menu with these exact Chapter Markers automatically set to a button: If I have 16 chapter markers, how do I automatically get 16 buttons on the "Select Chapter" or Select Scene menu. It seems I have to take a template from Encore add additional buttons to equal 16 buttons that I would need then edit it in PhotoShop and correct the text from the button template...and so much WORK!!!!!
Wont Encore read the chapter markers and their text from the time line and automatically create the buttons on a separate menu page called "Scene Select" or something like that?
Please SAVE my life with any support or help. I cannot seem to find the Adobe video that would help me with this
Cheers

I have really gotten completely stressed: This is what is said on this page of information

3. Choose a menu template.
Encore templates are predesigned menus that come in several styles. Buttons on the templates automatically link to DVD markers placed in the sequence. Encore creates additional submenus as necessary to accommodate all the DVD markers in a sequence.
THIS SHOULD FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND BELOW:
BUTTONS ARE AUTOMATICALLY LINKED TO DVD MARKERS PLACED IN THE SEQUENCE. ENCORE CREATES ADDITIONAL SUBMENUS AS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE DVD MARKERS IN A SEQUENCE.
BUT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN I EXPORT FROM ADOBE PREMIERE PRO TO ENCORE IN THE CS3 PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES ENCORE...WHAT'S WRONG ??????!!!!!!
THANKS AGAIN AND MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE!

  • Chapter markers and buttons

    i have created a track and assined chapters to each button and when it burns they don't work. when i simulate the dvd it works fine. in the log it says buttons 5, 6,7 &8 are inactive. this the second dvd of a 3 dvd set. the first one works fine. i just used it to creat the second one and reassined the markers and renamed the buttons. what has happened?

    im not sure if this was the right way to do this but i made sure the 2 buttons on top of each other were assigned the same asset, and it worked.
    originally i put a solid white bkgrnd with type set in photoshop, in the drop zone button in the black and white chapter index template provided for weddings. but it came out looking real bad on screen. so i made a simple button and placed it on top of a solid white tiff so the type would look good in the menu on screen.
    whats the trick to make a 3 dvd set have the correct chapter names when jumping between chapters in dvd player. on a dvd player (for a tv) it dosent display the chapter name it just goes to the next chapter?

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

  • IDVD 7 trouble with chapter markers and burning

    After importing my iMovie into iDVD, with all the chapter markers working fine, saved fine. When I try and burn, I get the message - "Assets used in your project were changed since you last opened this project". It then asks if I want to update. If I say no - I can't burn it. If I agree to the auto update it screws up all the chapter markers and doesn't seem to let me fix them!
    I have one week left to have this completed. I'd so appreciate any suggestions!! Thanks.

    That, I am afraid, is 'normal' behaviour.
    Chapter markers are screwed up this way, and all we can do is to create a new iDVD project.

  • Chapter Markers and iDVD'08'

    Hi
    Can anyone who has upgraded to iDVD'08' tell me if the Chapter Markers that are set in FCE are recognised in iDVD'08 when you import.
    Pete

    YES! I put together a quick movie with chapters in FCE 3.0 HD and exported as a QT movie with chapters. (the usual way). I can drag the movie into iDVD 08 and the chapter markers and titles are included. (as expected). This was a big fear of mine. It seems to work fine in the iDVD preview mode. I did not burn the movie to a DVD, but it seems to work.

  • Chapter Markers and Self-Contained Exports

    OK, Final Cut Express 2.0.3 on a MacOS 10.3.9 system
    I pull in some digital video and edit out unwanted parts by making a sequence of sub-clips, each marked with a Chapter Marker.
    To save some drive space, I export the sequence, with Chapter Markers, to a self-contained Quicktime file in full DV format.
    Re-import the resulting file and I see no Chapter Markers anywhere in FCE. If I drop the same file on iDVD, all the chapters show up, so I know the markers are there.
    Anyone know of a way to get them to show up in FCE ?
    Thanks.

    I just saw my chapter markers by opening my FCE 2 DV export in QuickTime Pro 7.0.3. They show up as a text track and display across the top 32 pixels (or so) of the movie. I disabled the text track. Even so, the QuickTime Player shows the Chapter labels to the right of the controller bar. However, they disappeared for further exports.

  • DVDSP Chapter Markers and Segmenting

    For some reason our DVDSP chapter markers in FCP don't end up in the final mpeg video when we allow segmenting to the cluster. Disable "Allow Segmenting", and all chapter markers show up in DVDSP. Any reason why this happens or how to fix it?

    Just to follow up, we installed 2.1 (FCP Studio 5.1) on all machines and now it works.

  • Chapter markers and exporting from FCE

    Hi guys, hope you can help.
    I am trying to export a film from FCE (latest version) into iDVD 08 retaining the chapter markers.
    The problem is that it is not happening when I export using the QuickTime Conversion option, since there appears to be no 'chapter markers' option in any drop-down menu there. Of course, there IS that option in the 'Make QuickTime File' export BUT the film (which is in widescreen) then doesn't export as a widescreen file. That only happens if I use the Conversion option and set the size to 1024x576 or whatever. Since this option to set the size doesn't exist in the simpler 'make quicktime file' export option, I'm at a loss to know what to do.
    Basically, I either export as a squashed image but keep the chapter markers OR export the film in the correct ratio but with no chapter markers.
    It's really frustrating. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    TP

    If you have Quicktime Pro the 16:9 fix is easy.
    From FCE export the .mov with Export/Quicktime Movie together with its chapters.
    In the QT Pro Player open the exported .mov movie, open its property window (cmd-J), select the Video Track, then open the Visual Settings tab, uncheck Preserve Aspect Ratio and set the Scaled Size to 1024x576, and save.
    Now when you import this .mov to iDVD it preserves its 16:9 aspect ratio.

  • Chapter markers and the timeline ?

    OK so I am a fool, thought I would get ahead of myself but...
    Just finished cutting a 2cam dance show, then puting a SWIPE (See Digital Juice)between each dance and while I am there puting a chapter marker so the kids can skip dances, you know the drill. Now for the problem...
    I need 30 secs at the top of my timeline (TL) for an opening but as I have learned in the past if I shunt the TL 30secs along I will lose the chapter marker points by 30 secs. Is there any way of telling FCP to shunt all the footage and the chapter markers as well ?
    (FC Studio 2)

    If you're going to DVDSP with your timeline, consider creating another free standing sequence and import it into DVDSP and place on the timeline ahead of your other long sequence or on a different track and have that sequence jump to your other long sequence.

  • How to Ignore chapter markers and play track without interruption to end

    I have imported an FCP track with half a dozen markers in it.
    In the main menu I link to this track and want to play it through in its entirety without stopping
    In a separate Chapter Menu button, I link to a bunch of submenus so you can play each chapter separately.
    Ever since putting in the submenus, the track won't play in its entirety and stops and goes back to the main menu when the play head hits the first chapter marker.
    How can I make it do what I want?
    Also, what is the accepted practice with chapters...does one set them to go right to the end of the track or just to come back to the submenu where they were first started?
    TB

    Yes, I did,, but in desperation, I removed all the menus except the main menu...so now I have
    just a DVD with Two tracks in it. When I play the first track, it plays to the first chapter marker then suddenly jumps to the end and plays the last few secs....Do I need to start all over again with a fresh import?

  • Story structure, chapter markers and the spaghetti I've created

    I have two clips one one PlayAll track. There are stories for each clip, so I can play them individually, with End Jump set to Main Menu. Playback in Fast Forward works fine for Play All, as well as both stories. Skipping through via Next Chapter works fine as well.
    +However, when playing back at normal speed, it stops and returns to the Main Menu at the end of Chapter 6.+
    There's a chapter marker at the end of the first clip (Marker 5), and a chapter marker at the beginning of the second clip (marker 6).
    The story designed to play the first clip contains markers 1-5, and the story designed to play the second clip, markers 6-14.
    So, as I said, what happens is playback of the second clip starts at Chapter 6, then reverts to the Main Menu at the end of Chapter 6, which is controlled by wherever Chapter 7 starts. If I move Chapter 7, playback continues through until right before Chapter 7, then quits to the Main Menu.
    So there's no problem with the underlying footage, it's some spaghetti I've created in the chapters, stories and ??
    Any ideas?

    Turns out it was the Story Marker that got set to End Jump=Menu 1. Resetting to 'Not Set' got working.
