Chapter Markers in Wrong Place

I am using FCP7 and I have a 15 minute slideshow. I slowed the clip down to 122% to fit with the music. I put the Chapter Marker in the correct place, but when I export and put into iDVD, the chapter marker moves reads the clip at 100% and moves the marker accordingly. How can I export and have the markers stay on the timeline where I put them and keeping the clip at 122%. Thank you

Doh! See, I knew it would be something really simple, I was obviously being far too complicated and trying to find a menu option for it, and all the time, there it was, cheers.

  • Chapter markers - What am I doing wrong?

    Hi all, I have a 55 minute sequence made in FCP5. I have put chapter markers in it following the FCP instructions to author the movie using iDVD. I Export using Quicktime, not self-contained. iDVD doesn't see the chapter markers. I have tried this so many times and I can't get it to work...what am I doing wrong?

    Mike sounds like you are exporting it right. Are you sure you are setting the CM's correctly? You can't select any assets when you set the markers:
    Make sure nothing is selected in the Timeline or the marker will be added to the clip and will not be seen by iDVD.

  • Export to AppleTV via Compressor, Chapter Markers Wrong

    I'm exporting various projects out to AppleTV via Compressor with Chapter Markers. Works great except for the Chapter Markers, which are out of sync...significantly, by 30 seconds or so. Any ideas on what the problem might be or how to ensure Chapter Markers will transfer over to the AppleTV setting in compressor?

    So this is a Compressor-specific issue, right?
    What I mean to say is, if you're exporting QT movies out of FCP, those do not exhibit the shift in chapter markers, correct? Just trying to determine if FCP/QT is the culprit here.
    Or are you exporting directly to Compressor? Or adding the chapter markers directly in Compressor?

  • Encore chapter markers off / different when playing DVD and when watching in Preview mode

    I'm using CS6 and Encore version 6.0.0
    I have a 120 min project with about 17 chapter markers. The markers were set to a older version of the project and then I extended the project by about 5 min and did a Replace Asset in the timeline. I adjusted the markers in the timeline. When I view the project in the Preview mode the chapters markers start at the right place but then I burn to DVD and they are off by about a minute.
    I've tried deleting the cache and buring again but it's still off.
    I think doing the Replace Asset messed things up but when it plays fine in Preview but not on the DVD something is really wrong.
    Thanks

    Update: I removed everything from the timeline and started over and entered the chapter markers. They are still off and now it's worse.
    I have 21 chapters. 6-10 are off the rest are ok. I am burning to a dual layer DVD but I don't think that would be the reason.
    Lastly, the DVD player skips over the final chapter it goes from 20 to the begining of the movie skipping Chapter 21.
    What the heck?!

  • Which styles create chapter markers in epub output?

    I exported Apple's "ePub Best Practices for Pages" document to ePub, and transfered it to my Kindle. I noticed that both the "Chapter Name" style and the "Heading" style show up in the TOC, but only the "Heading" style shows up as chapter markers on the Kindle's progress bar.
    I'd like the "Chapter Name" to show up there as well. What about the "Heading" style (that is obviously different from the "Chapter Name" style) is causing this to happen?

    You always need to reformat drives from PC formatting (FAT32) to Mac-compatible.
    +dragging the .DV file to a drop zone and then selecting the file (giving it the yellow and black striped border)+
    Ah, I see the problem. You are putting your movie into the wrong place! You cannot put a video into a drop zone and expect to have chapters there. Maybe you are misunderstanding drop zones. Drop zones are defined areas on an iDVD menu in which you drop content--short video/photo--that will play when the DVD disk is inserted into a DVD player; it plays while the viewer is deciding to select to view the entire movie or view different chapters. The content in a drop zone plays for a limited time only. You cannot get your entire movie to play unless it is very short, which I am assuming it is not, since you wish to have chapters dividing it.
    To get your video into iDVD for that type of viewing, DON'T put it into a drop zone. AVOID the drop zone and drag the video to the background area of the iDVD main menu screen. Now you should have the create chapters option available,

  • Chapter Markers with thumbnails do not appear on Share to DVD

    I am using Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and am producing a DVD for a 1:58 minute dance recital.  There are 2 acts and for each act I created seperate projects to make it easy to group the two camera content.    Each act has 25 - 30 performaces and using the Marker command I added a Chapter Maker at the start of each new song with a custom title. 
    Once I had both Acts created as two projects, I then created a Compond Clip for each and then created a new project called DVD Master and droped the two compond clips into the timeline.    I confirmed the chaptermarks and the names and thumnail locations are intact in both.
    Next I go back to the project view - select the DVD Master Project and goto Share/DVD - The dialog shows both the settings and optiosn for a black or white menu and when I click on the Chapter I see a mini thumbnail that shows the menu but they are all labeled Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc  no custom names.
    I go ahead and render the DVD to a HD Image file, and when I launch the DVD play the disc plays fine but the chapter names do not show up, the chapter menu for that matter does not show, and on the player when I hit the forward button I jumps to Chapter 1, 2, 3 etc    - No names or thumbnails.
    What do you think I am doing wrong here?

    The chapter markers are "inside" each compound. When you place these compounds in a new project timeline, they do not automatically migrate or bubble up to the new project. You may get a clue to that by simply looking at the timeline: no markers are visible!
    This may be confusing, since you are allowed to put chapter markers anywhere.
    But in the end only the chapter markers that are placed directly in the timeline from which you export will be present in the dvd. Bottom line is: you have to place this markers in your final project timeline.
    One other option is to not use compounds at all; instead copy and paste everything from each subproject directly to the master project. This way the markers will be at the top level of your project and they will work. The drawback, of course, is that you get a complex timeline without the neatness of hiding each part inside a compound.

  • Chapter markers offset

    I've exported prem pro cc media, opened in Encore and the chapter markers are in different places? They are all displaced from where I set them in prempro cc. Have i got the wrong export settings?

    Sorry  you did not get a response to this; it is in a subforum rather than the main Encore forum.
    I think.... There was a bug for H.264 that is corrected in the newest update for PR CC.

  • IOS Client Video Streaming with Chapter Markers

    Are there any ios client applications that will receive an h.264 video stream and provide a list of chapter markers for the video?
    It seems AVFoundation definitely supports this: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/AudioVideo/RN-AVFoundation-O ld/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011199-CH1-SW6
    However, I can't find any client applications out there that seem to support this. I can't even really get a clear answer as to whether or not HTTP Live Streaming for iOS has a feature for providing chapter metadata.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    My most sincere of apologies.  My "instruction redo" for clarity included a cerebral gaseous emission in the one place that was most important.
    Step 6 should read "Select "Movie""
    1. Go to iTunes->Home Videos
    2. Right-click the video
    3. Choose "Get Info"
    4. Click the "Options" tab
    5. Click the "Media Kind" pull-down menu
    6. Select "Movie"
    7. Click "Okay"
    Fell into that trap where you read something over several times to make sure you got everything correct, but you aren't really looking because you KNOW you got everything right.
    Not only that, but I got it wrong the first time as well, although Florbid got it right (for Windows) in spite of my initial blundering.  If you read my first post, I say to select "Video", which was supposed to be "Movie" even then.
    Hope this relieves your frustration.  But if it doesn't solve the problem, I have no other answer.

  • Chapter Markers using GarageBand

    I'm posting this in both Apple TV and Quicktime forums.
    I have successfully used GarageBand 3.0.4 to easily and quickly add chapter markers to H.264 Apple TV movies. Much faster than the QT Pro text list method.
    Started with an iMovie containing titles and chapters, exported to Apple TV format (m4v file using codec H.264). Opened GarageBand using New Movie Score, set preferences to Export>Movie Full Quality. In Control menu, turned off Snap to Grid. Selected the video track, and track editor allows adding/naming chapters.
    Don't worry if the video & audio tracks don't match up. I used my iMovie project timestamps for the chapter times in GarageBand, then verified by watching in GB video preview window. If one has 5 second titles, it's not an issue to have to mess with tweaking the exact timing. One can also add sounds, picts, etc with GB, although I prefer iMovie for better control & tools.
    The Share>Export to Disc saving process is quick, and yields the same quality H.264 file with a slightly bigger size. Imports to iTunes, syncs with Apple TV, and shows the chapter titles on the timeline when viewed on the tv (same quality as original ATV movie).
    The following are links to some previous forum discussions about chapters:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5265574#5265574
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5266201#5266201

    Additional note. While the GarageBand chapters and audio modifications have worked great in several H.264 movies, I was apparently wrong about adding photos or mixing in short title clips in the video track. The GB video editing is too basic, and can handle only one video in the video track when using Movie Score mode (might be ok in Podcast mode, which is unacceptable for Apple TV quality).
    Best way is to get the movie totally set with titles etc in iMovie or FCP, then export as Apple TV movie, which can be imported to GB for chapters. I have noted that the chapter timing needs to be slightly ahead of the apparent desired spot in the GB video track (15-30 frames), in order for it to hit correctly when viewing on the Apple TV. Using 5-6 second title sections makes it easy since one can place the chapter marker anyplace in the title area.

  • Chapter Markers Not Recognized

    I am using iLife09 and have been unable to have iDvd recognize the chapter markers created in iMovie projects. I have set iDvd preferences to accept the markers. What am I doing wrong?

    Two thoughts on this
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapter mark set in very beginning of movie
    *iDVD BUG* - is provoked by creating an iDVD project, finding something that needs to be
    corrected in movie, close iDVD and correct movie, open iDVD and it will ask to
    Update or Cancel ? - Neither works - All chapters points to same place and other nasty
    things happens.
    Medicine
    Start a brand new iDVD project and import material/movies and re-do.
    *Chapter at start of movie* - Doesn't work - iDVD has to set this by it self else it gets confused.

  • Trouble compressing with Chapter Markers

    I have a very large (136 gigs) 10 bit uncompressed quicktime of a 17 minute movie. Knowing that DVD Studio Pro will only let me place chapter markers on I frames, I brought my quicktime into final cut and placed 5 chapter markers exactly where I want them. I've now tried to export that quicktime with DVD Studio Pro markers and then compress into an MPEG-2 in Compressor. I've also exported with chapter markers and then compressed into an MPEG-2. I've also tried sending my sequence straight to Compressor and, using one of the tabs, "maintained DVD Studio Pro meta-data." No matter what, every time that I bring my final compressed MPEG-2 into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers do not appear. Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the Boards
    When you open the movie in QuickTime are you seeing the markers? Have you tired using Export -> Chapter Markers (not DVD SP Markers?)
    Take a look here shows selection of Chapter Markers on export

  • 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."

  • Encore chapter markers which move with clip

    Problem: Encore chapter markers which move with clip
    CS4 Production Suite
    XP Pro SP3
    I have 9 sequences with each containing 4 Encore chapter markers. As expected in the real world, the end users continually want edits to the sequences. If I razor out a piece of a clip in the sequence, the Encore chapter markers stay fixed to the time ruler and do not move with the clip. As a result, one has to manually move each Encore chapter marker to re-align with the proper location on a clip. This is time consuming and makes no sense. Is there anyway for the Encore chapter markers to act like clip markers so they move with edits?
    If not, does someone have a plugin which would look at the Encore chapter markers in a sequence and place corresponding clip markers on Video 1. After editing, the plugin could re-align the Encore chapter markers with their respective clip markers.

    What is needed are Encore Chapter Clip Markers so Encore markers follow the clip. Just as you would move the current-time indicator to the frame where you want an Encore chapter point and then right click (Windows) in the time ruler and choose the type of marker, a new context menu item "Encore Chapter Clip Marker" would be available which would place an Encore chapter marker on the clip in the currently selected video track. With this, one could edit the sequence and know the Encore chapter point is still at the same frame of the clip.
    I encourage others to either copy this feature description or their own version and submit it to the Feature Request Page for Premiere.
    Feature Request Page
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    One should submit this Feature to both Premiere and Encore since both are effected. By the way, Encore has a Feature Request user form you may also want to submit this to. Premiere does not appear to have a Feature Request user form so I used the Feature Request Page mentioned above.

  • Is it possible to insert Chapter Markers via the iOS app?

    So I got myself involved in a project that involves creating audiobooks and podcasts. My responsibility involves scanning thru the files, inserting the marks to create the chapters, editing for content and finally creating the .m4a and .m4b files. Very labor intensive - I'm not complaining - but this brings me to the point.
    I'm able to do all this easily enough with Sound Forge and Chapter & Verse but I’m forced to sit in front of the PC for hours on end. I’d like to do the marking - the hardest part - and editing on the iPad - while commuting, at lunch, etc. The issue is GarageBand for iOS doesn’t seem to have the ability to insert “marks”. I’m hoping someone will tell me I’m wrong or point me in the direction of an app that will allow me to create chapter marks (app must have the ability to import files).

    No, GarageBand on the iPad cannot add chapter markers. You can mix a song arrangement and do basic editing.

    I don't know an app that can, sorry.

  • Problem exporting chapter markers

    Using iMovie 8.0.5, I created an iMovie project containing 17 chapter markers (total, 3 hours 55 minutes long) which I plan to burn to DVD using Toast Titanium 9. When I export the project (export movie) large or medium, the chapter markers do not export (I opened the created MPEG 4 movie with QuickTime Player, QuickTime 7, MPEG Streamclip, iTunes and VLC, no chapters to be found). I cut the project down to 6 chapters (total, 1 hour 26 minutes). Still no chapter markers exported. However, I cut the project down again to 3 chapters (total, 18 minutes 22 seconds) and I now see the 3 different chapters in the MPEG 4 movie created, using QuickTime Player. I understand that I should be able to export up to 99 chapter markers per project. Exporting such a project is time consuming and I will most likely die before finding the solution. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

    just export a qt ref from fcp and import that into dvdsp and lay it on to the dvd video track. It'll carry your markers over. You can then delete the video from the track and replace it with your compressed version, but the markers from the qt ref will remain.
