Chapter Markers for Audio Only encode to CD

I have an audio only sequence in Final Cut with chapter markers. I did Export>Using Compressor & when I look at the sequence in Compressor I can see the purple chapter markers in the Preview window. I've tried many different settings: MPEG-4 (disabled video in the inspector), AAC, AIFF. Every time I open these files in Quicktime, I lose the chapter markers.
I do have a .mov file that I exported from FCP to Quicktime & that shows the chapter markers, but once I try to export from Quicktime, the same thing happens... I keep losing the chapter markers.
What settings should I be using to keep the chapter markers with my audio sequence & encode this audio for CD?

Yes, thank you... I didn't realize markers don't work for audio.
I found a workaround on the FCP forum. Here it is for anyone watching:

  • Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

    When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
    workflow as follows:
    1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
    2. set in/out points in timeline
    3. export quicktime movie
    4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
    5. do NOT select recompress all frames
    6. DO select make self contained movie.
    7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
    8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
    9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
    Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
    thanks in advance
    patrick

    The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
    Any idea what the AV files are?
    When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
    When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
    5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
    Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

  • Chapter Markers for Apple TV movies

    After a search, I saw a brief discussion about using Handbrake to set chapter markers for Apple TV.
    But is there a way to set chapters with iLife apps or QT Pro? With my home movies, the Apple TV remote button ">>" advances to each scene I captured with the Canon camcorder. At least it's not random, but dvd-style chapters would be nicer.
    I realize QT removes chapters from iMovie projects, but I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround.

    To create a chapter list in QT Pro:
    1. In a text editor or word processor, type your list of chapters and save the document as plain text.
    2. Make each item very short (preferably one word but no more than two or three words) and separate each item with a carriage return.
    3. In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open File, select the text file, and click Open.
    4. Choose File > Export. In the Export pop-up menu, choose "Text to Text." In the Use pop-up menu, choose "Text with Descriptors."
    5. Click Options. In the Text Export Settings dialog, select "Show Text, Descriptors, and Time"; select "Show time relative to start of Movie"; and set fractions of seconds to 1/30 (the default is 1/1000).
    6. Click OK, then click Save to create a text file with descriptors.
    7. Open the exported list in your text editor or word processor, and open the target movie in QuickTime Player.
    8. Choose Window > Show Movie Info.
    9. In QuickTime Player, drag the playhead on the timeline to find the first point in the movie where you want to begin a new chapter.
    10. Use the Right and Left Arrow keys to step forward or backward a frame at a time as needed. Note the current time in the Properties window.
    11. In the text file, find the first chapter title and change the timestamp just before that chapter title to the time you noted in the Properties window.
    12. The timestamp might now read, for example, [00:01:30.15], meaning that selecting the first chapter title will jump the viewer 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 15 frames into the movie.
    13. Repeat steps 9 through 11 until you've identified all the places in the movie that correspond to the chapter divisions and you've entered the proper timestamps in the text file.
    14. Change the last timestamp (the one after the last chapter title in the text file) to match the duration of the movie.
    15. Save the text file and import it into QuickTime Player.
    16. QuickTime creates a new movie with just a text track.
    17. Choose Edit > Select All, choose Edit > Copy, and close the movie.
    18. Click in the main movie, choose Edit > Select All, then choose Edit > "Add to Movie."
    19. QuickTime adds the text track to the movie.
    20. Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
    21. In the Properties window, select the video or audio track you want to associate with the chapter track, and click Other Settings.
    22. Choose the main video or audio track from the Chapters pop-up menu.
    23. If you have a movie with alternate subtitle or sound tracks, you can create multiple chapter lists in different languages and set the appropriate subtitle or sound track as the owner of each chapter list. The chapter list will change to match the selected language.
    24. Select the text track, then select "Preload this track" (to make the chapter track load first).
    25. Deselect the new text track so that it doesn't display on top of the video.
    26. The new track will still function as a chapter track.
    27. Save the movie as a self-contained movie.
    28. You can now choose a chapter title from the pop-up menu to the right of the timeline.

  • MDP for audio only (on iMac mid2010)

    Hi
    I wanna buy a iMac 27": 2,8GHz (so it's mid 2010).
    The information i already gathered:
    Audio through HDMI is possible (at least with the proper Adapter).
    The issues with 10.6.4 are solved by 10.6.5.
    TOSLink has a limited bandwidth and doesn't work for HD-Audio-Codecs (and i don't want to make compromises).
    Here's the thing:
    I don't want to connect an external monitor, but i want to send audio through HDMI. If i connect the iMac through HDMI to my AV-Receiver (Denon AVR 1911) will the audio work, even though i don't use the output of my AV-Receiver to connect a TV/Monitor? Or wouldn't the AV-Receiver be recognized by the iMac?
    And if it does work:
    Do i lose performance because the iMac would export audio and video? Or is it possible to disable video export and use the MDP for audio only?
    I hope i explained my problems understandable. (Also hope my english is understandable, too. )
    Hope someone can help,
    Thanks in advance!
    PS: Yes, i know it's not possible to play Blu-Rays on Mac, but I would appreciate
    to be able to stream 5.1 PCM to my AV-Receiver.

    Thanks RRFS, just a couple of questions for you : Do you (or would you) keep things like sample libraries for Kontakt, Logic (apple loops) and sound design library stuff (80 GBs +) on your internal SSD drive?  Also, is your internal SSD your principal (or only internal) drive ?  I have an iMac that already has a serial ATA as its principal drive, but the store I spoke with said they could add a second internal drive (SSD) to my system if I want to take out my optical drive.  Not sure if it would be worth the cash--probably $250 + for parts and labour for 128 GBs that won't make a huge difference to workflow speed, according to BDAqua.
    Cheers & thanks.

  • 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.

  • HDMI to RCA converter for Audio only

    I purchased an Apple TV for the airplay for audio only and adding an HDMI to RCA converter (universal unit from Amazon).  Is there any specifications I need to look for on the converter for this to work?  I am aware of issues when using the video portion of a converter, but I don't see anything for the audio.

    maybe easier to find a optical -> RCA converter as the optical is audio only
    though heard some people repport that if hdmi is not connected optical is muted but don't know for sure
    if I may ask then why on eath get an appletv for audio only
    an airport express would do the same thing and a minijack already and is cheaper

  • Chapter Markers for Apple TV Exports

    Hi
    Can't seem to export chapter markers for my Apple TV video exports. They are green on the timeline, but don't show up on the final Apple TV m4v.
    Does this just not work, or am I doing something stupid?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Mark

    Tom
    So if you want any compression at all, deviate from Quicktime movie for any reason, you lose all your chapter marker ability. Seems pretty lame to me. Is that true for FCP, or just FCE?
    Guess I will just have to use the fast forward on my remote.
    BTW, got your book and it was very helpful.
    Thanks

  • Audio from video to CD using chapter markers for song separation

    Dear All,
    I have a client who wants audio only exported from a 2 hour plus original musical video performance and put on CD. I would like to separate the songs on the audio clip so that they can be individually searched by the CD remote rather than just having one long 2 hour plus soundtrack...a lot of work, believe me due to the number of songs involved!
    Is there an easy way to do this other than by exporting each song as a separate audio clip? If I create chapter markers and then delete the video track, will the chapter markers remain embedded in the audio portion during the export? I am working with Final Cut Studio 2 which includes DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro. I also have Toast Titanium 8.
    Thanks for your help.
    Barb

    When I need to do this, I export the audio from the QuickTime file into an AIFF file which I then open in a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, use the razor blade tool to mark the tracks/chapters, then move them into a separate track in the multi-track project (all starting at the very start of the timeline), making as many new tracks as needed.
    Then, you need to export one track at a time: mark an in point at the beginning of the project then an out point at the end of the piece of audio in that particular track, solo the track and export mix, giving the tracks numbers as you go - as it's only one track, your mix wil be one track of audio. Continue this through all the tracks, which you can then import into iTunes and, as they're numbered, you'll know which order to put them in on the CD.
    I know it sounds long-winded but it's easier than it sounds! Hope it helps,
    Chris

  • Chapter Markers for Downloadable Audio Book?

    Is there any way to create download-able (ie something other than wav) audio that has chapter markers in it? I'm editing and producing an audio book for a client. This recording will be available to customers from his site via download. The customers who download this audio book will need the ability to navigate chapters as you would with music CD tracks.
    I certainly know how to use track markers when burning a CD. But web audio must be either stream-able or data-compressed to make it practical as a download, right? And the mp3 format does not recognize markers. Does anyone know what I could do to create a navigable audio program that can be downloaded as an audio book from the web?
    Thanks!
    Ken

    Wavpack uses cues just like wave files but it will only halve your filesize. Then again, it has a hybrid mode... maybe check out www.wavpack.com for the possibilities there.
    Maybe simply break it up into chapter-size mp3's and package those as a zip file. You'd end up with the equivalent of a normal music mp3 album.

  • How to add chapter markers for each file in a folder?

    Hello,
    I have several image folders with up to 700 images per. I would like to drag & drop them into the timeline but I want to be able to use the chapter/arrow button on the DVD player remote to scroll through them.....like a videoscrapbook, per se.
    Is there a setting that will allow me to drop them into the time line and automatically generate a chapter marker for each image, that will be read on export to DVDSP? Surely, there is something like this built in that I just have not yet found; I cannot believe the only alternative is to manually add 700 chapter markers per folder. And do they always go into the timeline in alphabetical order? Can that be prevented or altered?
    Also, doesn't it seem strange there is no single-button option (I'm presuming here, since I have not found one) for adding a chapter marker; the '~' button adds a generic marker but you must 'edit' it and click 'chapter marker' - very time-consuming --- or am I missing something here, too? If so please enlighten me! I've experimented a lot but no luck.
    Many thanks!
    jf

    I thought there was a folder size limitation on DVDSP - these folders have digital family photos on them and they are jam-packed; 600, 700, whatever. And there are several of them. I guess I thought putting them in FCP was the only way to avoid the limitation - if there is one.
    I'll try putting them straight into DVDSP and see what happens. Thanks!

  • Inserting Chapter Markers for iDVD

    I have a few simple questions about inserting Chapter Markers in FCE, and what exactly is happening. I've looked for the answers in two books, and the Help files, but still have my questions:
    In the "Edit Markers" box, the first field is "Name." Is this the name of the Chapter Marker that gets exported?
    The next field is "Comment." Is this for my info only? Or does this have something to do with the Chapter Marker getting exported correctly?
    If I press the "Add Chapter Marker" button, it adds <CHAPTER> into the Comment field. Is this necessary for the marker to be a Chapter Marker?
    Why is there a space in front of " <CHAPTER>"? Is this necessary?
    If I add a comment to the Comment field, should it go before or after <Chapter>, or does it matter?
    I rarely have used Chapter Markers, and these should be easy questions for someone. Thanks for your help.
    Terrell

    First of all, this is the Final Cut Pro forum but the following works the same for both programs
    When using iDVD and you create chapter markers, dropping your QT export into iDVD, using one of the provided themes, will create a main screen with Play Movie and (something like)Chapter Menus. The Menu page(s) follow your chapters, including any Name you assign: So, If you backspace "Name" and type Scene One, that will appear in your chapter page
    Far as I know, Comments is for your eyes only. I've never really used it but I don't see anywhere in iDVD where it shows up; not 100 per cent sure
    <CHAPTER> is where you assign a number. Do not delete <CHAPTER> it will not show up in your menu. But if you type Chapter One, that shows up with the Chapter Name
    Most iDVD themes automatically create a first chapter for you, called Begin. You can change that inside iDVD
    You do not have to assign your chapter a name. That is your call
    Other things to note: Create chapter markers in the Timeline. Export as Quicktime Movie, not any version of Quicktime Conversion. In the Export menu, select Chapter Markers.

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • FCE HD Chapter Markers for use in iDVD

    Hello Again,
    How do I create chapter markers in FCE HD that can be used by iDVD to create selectable chapters for the sub menus.
    John

    this happens to be one of the few topics I know. Just play the time line or scroll to where ever you want a chapter maker and type MM. A box will open. name the chapter and click add marker or whatever its called. when you export select add chapter markers. hope that helps

    As you mentioned, you are hitting the missing crossdomain.xml error itself (the error code 2048 confirms this). Attached is a sample all-allowing (and hence risky for non-testing purposes) crossdomain.xml that you can use.

  • Chapter markers for movies on ipod

    thanks for anything
    =David=

    i use handbreak to rip down dvds onto my ipod. is there a way to do chaptermarkers or a faster way to fastforward?
    The iPod player currently ignores video chapter markers. As to a faster way to fastforward, how are you doing it now? I can fastworward through the entire Star Wars III movie in 5-6 seconds (depending on the amount of drag caused by the silicone case). This is faster than I can repeatedly click all of the chapter markers on my old DVD player and wait for it to catch up.
