Compressor H.264 not exporting Chapter Markers

I am still struggling to see chapter markers show up in DVD Studio Pro using compressor & H.264. Compressor outputs the Chapters markers when using MPEG2. My understanding is that this should be automatic.

The following information appears in DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News file:
Exporting H.264 Clips With Markers From Final Cut Pro
Compressor does not export chapter markers when using its H.264 for HD DVD presets. You can either create a chapter marker text file that you can import or manually add the chapter markers in DVD Studio Pro directly..

  • How do I export from Compressor 4 to iDVD with chapter markers?

    I get that Final Cut Pro X does not create chapter markers.
    I send it to Compressor 4 to do this.
    Ok, so far, so good.
    How do I export this so that I can then author the DVD to include a menu page, etc?
    Do I do this in iDVD?  If so, what format, as I see that iDVD does not import MPEG-2.

    Don't use the DVD preset in Compressor. Use an MPEG4 format or maybe even AppleTV preset.
    This Apple Support Article might help a little.

  • CS4 exporting chapter markers to Encore?

    In my older version of Premiere Pro, exporting an AVI file that contained chapter markers readable by Encore was pretty simple.  There was a checkbox on the export parameters screen, and as long as you checked it, Encore would be able to pick up the chapter markers.
    It seems that life is not so simple in CS4.
    The export dialogue in CS4 does not seem to have a checkbox for indicating that I want the chapter markers included in the metadata of the AVI files.
    I did find and check the box for each individual marker to indicate that I wanted it to be treated as an Encore marker.  But when I export the sequence to an AVI file and then import that AVI file into Encore, there are no chapter markers.
    I read the help message, which recommended File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send to Encore, but when I tried that option I found it to be a real pain in the neck.  It wanted to create a brand-new Encore project, and I couldn't find a way to tell ilt to use my existing Encore project.  Also, I will want to use the same sequence in more than one Encore project, so I really don't want to tie it to an individual project - I want to just export it as an AVI that contains the metadata to be usable in a variety of Encore projects that I may want to use it in.
    Is there a way to do what my older version of Premiere Pro allowed me to do - export an AVI file that contains the necessary chapter markers for Encore?

    En chapter markers can only be exported from CS4 if:
    You send the sequence to En via Dynamic Link.  The markers don't have to have a name in this case.
    You name the chapter markers and export from Pr as MPEG2 DVD.  In this case the chapter markers have to have a name, and you have to check "Include Source XMP Metadata" in the flyout menu of the Export Settings dialog.  (The chapter marker information is included in the sidecar XMP file)
    Gone is the ability to export chapter markers with AVI files.
    Although you can't specify what En project you want from Pr when sending a sequence to En via Dynamic Link, you can open any En project and import one or more Pr sequences via Encore's File | Adobe Dynamic Link command.

  • Exporting chapter markers

    Is it possible to export chapter markers from a premiere pro sequence so that they are embedded within quicktime h264 file like it is with compressor?

    Since you have 12 sequences, you now have to create another sequence and drag your 12 sequences into that one. Then you have to move the playhead to the start of each nested sequence, press m twice, set a chapter name and click on the Chapter button. Then you have to Export/Quicktime Movie and select Markers: Chapter Markers in the export dialog.

  • Error Exporting Chapter Markers from FCP X

    After upgrading to Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8, I am having problems exporting chapter markers.  Specially, at the end of the export, this error message appears and cancels the entire export:
    Error Message: "The operation could not be completed because the chapter marker track could not be written (error -12769)."
    As you can see, none of my markers are closer together than one to two minutes, and the error message appears whether I have a marker at the very beginning of the project, or occurring a few frames in.
    The only report of this problem on Apple's support forums was caused by trying to read FCP X 10.0.5 markers in 10.0.6.  In this case, all my markers were created in 10.0.8. 
    This error persists even after trashing FCP X preferences and moving marker positions.
    The file will export perfectly when chapter markers are not included in the export.
    At this point, I don't have a good workaround.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Hi I have this same problem right now!
    Mac Mini
    OS 10.8.5
    FCP 10.0.9
    No recent upgrades, nothing has changed.
    It had been working fine since I bought the Mac Mini + software in 2013…)
    I have already tried removing the markers, deleting all markers and making new ones, creating a new project and pasting the old sequence into it (without markers), creating new markers in the new project, etc...
    I still cannot create a master file (unless I deselect 'use chapter markers'), or unless I select a range of the project which does not include markers!
    Please Help!

  • Exporting Chapter Markers from FCPX

    In FCP7 I can export my master file with it's chapter markers to a new movie file ready for DVDStudioPro.
    How do you export chapter markers from FCPX?
    Also, FCP7 allows you to export without making a self contained movie file that DVDStudioPro can use to burn the DVD.
    Is it possible to export from FCPX without making a self contained movie file? 
    If so, how?
    Thank you for your help.

    If you're going to DVD Studio Pro, it will need to transcode to mpeg-2 at some point.  If you exported a referenced QT movie from FCP7 previously, then DVD Studio Pro was doing the transcoding for you.
    In FCPX, I suggest exporting using Compressor 4.  Apply the DVD preset (mpeg2 video and dolby digital audio) and you can also apply chapter markers within Compressor.
    Import the 2 resulting files into DVD Studio Pro and no further transcoding (other than menus) will need to be performed when you burn the disc.

  • Exporting Chapter Markers From FCP7 to Compressor for DVD Studio Pro

    I put several chapter markers in a Final Cut Pro 7 sequence by hitting the "M" key a few times on the timeline.
    I tried exporting the video with Compressor, both by using "Share" and "Send To Compressor."
    When I load the post-Compressor video files into DVD Studio Pro, make a track, and look at the track timeline, the chapter markers are not there.
    How do I send the video files from FCP7 to Compressor to DVDSP and have the chapter markers survive the journey?
    (NOTE: I am not using Final Cut Pro X, where, I understand, that the problems with chapter markers are a whole different ballgame.)

    When you hit m twice and get the marker window:
    1. Make sure the marker is created on the timeline, not the clip;
    2. you have to specify that it's a chapter marker.  There's a pulldown or something to select it.  It's NOT automatic.

  • Compressor does not recognize chapter markers

    I have exported my FCP timeline with chapter markers to a self-contained QT file.
    I have enabled the text track in the QT file. Now I want to encode the QT file to MPEG-2 with the chapter markers. But I don't see any markers in Compressor? I only see the enabled text track...
    Any help greatly appreciated - I must use forced I-frames due to the accuracy of placing the chapters on the final DVD.

    I just ran into this problem today myself. It's unbelievable; I get so tired of Apple programming methods!! Do they even test or use these things before they release them so things make sense to the end user?
    *breathe*
    Alright. Ken Stone to the rescue!
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/exporting_markers_fromfcp.html
    Ok, so before I get flamed, yes, there's everything to be said about understanding how to use a program before using it. I'm just asking for a little common sense programming.

  • Quicktime 10.3 (Just installed Mavericks) no longer exports chapter markers

    Hello,
    For the last few years, I've been able to take a .mov edited in Prores 422, with FCP, and save as a master.  Then, I'd open that file with Quicktime, and export as 1080P.
    The result before tonight has been a moview with H.264 encoding (considerable smaller than 422), with 'text', or Chapter Markers.
    Example of file info: Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode, QuickTime Text
    Now.. after installing Mavericks.. the same process just creates 'AAC, H.264'.
    The text codec has been stripped. 
    1) Is there a good workflow, or do I have to install metadata hoot.. or handbrake?
    2) Can I roll back to a quicktime version prior to the version Mavericks has tewaked.. and still keep Mavericks?
    Please help.  Thank you in advance!

    Another problem you may have if you work on a new
    timeline rather than the original one with all the
    clips is the addition of compression markers.
    When you make the MPEG2 files for DVDSP, whether via
    compressor or by encoding in DVDSP, the encoder will
    do a better job if it knows where scene changes are.
    This is achieved by adding compression markers at
    scene changes. This tells the encoder that there is
    a significant change in the image content and that
    it should refresh all the data in the image rather
    than trying to modify the last frame.
    When you export from FCP, compression markers are
    automatically added at the beginning of each clip on
    the timeline. If only one clip on the timeline you
    will need to manually insert compression markers at
    each scene change. The same applies if you digitise
    an already cut sequence so that you can make the MPEG
    files.
    Hope this helps.
    Trevor,
    Thanks for your comment! Will the clip play any worse if I do not use the compression markers and import to DVD SP the entire clip without any scene breaks? So far I've imported the entire clip into the program and it seems to play well according to the simulator, and I haven't added anything except manually adding markers to the DVD SP track that contains my tv show. It's the first I've heard about compression markers, and I'm hestitant to use the version of the episode with all my cuts for export (there are many many cuts) especially since the instructions I received were to use a clip of the show without any cuts for export.
    Thanks!

  • FCP 6 doesn't seem to export chapter markers in a QT movie

    Hi,
    New user of Mac and FCP 6 here. I've constructed my sequence in FCP 6, adding the appropriate chapter marks (which show up fine in FCP 6). I then Export my sequence to a self-contained QT movie, making sure that in the Save dialog "Marker" is set to "All Markers". If I now render the QT movie and bring it into either Compressor or DVD Studio Pro; the chapter markers are now gone.
    After trying for several hours in FCP 6 to export different ways, I never could get Compressor or DVD Studio Pro to find the markers. I eventually gave up and manually reentered them into Compressor. When Compressor was complete, I brought its m2v and ac3 files into DVD Studio Pro. Lo and behold the chapter markers were still there.
    Being a novice to FCP 6, do I have a setting somewhere that is preventing me from exporting markers? Or could this be a bug due to my workflow.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Mike

    I've been wondering about this for the last couple of days. Lately my QT exports of my FCP sequences have not been retaining their chapter markers. They are fine for DVDSP, but not for Quicktime DV or even mp4 or m4v files that would normally contain them previously. What's going on here?
    Sending friends and family my videos, I want to give them the option of selecting from the list of chapters in the video. I feel like I've wasted time putting the chapters in when they don't show up for the folks who play them.

  • Quicktime X does not recognize Chapter Markers

    I am exporting media in Quicktime format with H.264 codec.
    I have three markers labeled as Encore Chapter Markers.
    When I open the rendered .mov file in Quicktime Player 7, there are three chapters at the correct timecodes (0:03, 0:18, 0:33).
    When I open the rendered .mov file in Quicktime X, there are three chapters all at the first chapter’s timecode: 0:03.
    Why is this not working?
    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 6.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.4.

    For those with a similar problem, I read somewhere on the Apple forums that Metadata Hootenanny will add chapter tracks that appear correctly in QuickTime X. http://www.applesolutions.com/bantha/MH.html
    I can confirm it works for me!!!! The chapter tracks show up in Metadata Hootenanny just fine, so it’s a matter of importing the file and saving it again with Chapter Track enabled. Yayayayay!

  • Exporting chapter markers from FCP

    I'm trying to export markers from my FCP (Final Cut Studio 2) timeline which I can then use as chapter points in DSP. I have exported the timeline with DSP markers but when I import the .mov into DSP no markers are apparent. Any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance. x

    Hello!
    There is a few options here.
    Personally I would suggest you send your timeline to compressor to encode to mpeg2 for DVDSP.
    If you have placed those markers and made sure they are a <CHAPTER> in the comments section in your marker window, you can click add chapter marker in that window too, then the mpeg 2 will include those in DVDSP project when you import them.
    (the marker window to make sure its a <Chapter> hit the M key when your play head is on the same frame as the marker.)
    Bringing a quicktime into DVDSP has to encode the QT anyway... might as well do it right in compressor.
    if thats not an option you can....
    There is a way to import a "Marker List" but I dont remember how I did it. I just tried making a text edit document which I thought I did but that didnt work.
    I will do some research and post back but I would suggest you encode your Project with chapter markers.
    You can export using quicktime and include chapter makers too.. its a setting in your export options

  • DVDSP not recognizing Chapter Markers from FCP?

    We added Chapter Markers in FCP6. We exported one time with DVD Studio Pro Marker and tried the other time with Chapter Markers. We took it into Compressor and made the file into MPG-2 and imported into DVD Studio Pro, though it does not seem to recognize the chapter markers once in DVD Studio Pro.
    Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Or, just try selecting your sequence in FCP's browser, then go to the file menu and export using Compressor. Choose your setting, your destination, and hit submit. Saves steps, and it will export your complete sequence including chapter markers.

  • Ipad not recognizing chapter markers

    Hi,
    I can make a timeline in FCPro 7 - and I name the chapter markers with a number that corresponds  with, in this case, a horse hip number at a horse sale!
    So I'll have a 30 minute movie edited in FCPro 7 with 10 chapter markers - all named with a number.
    When I export to a SC movie - all chapter markers show up perfectly.  I then run the SC movie thru Compressor - and compress for iPad.  NOW, my problem begins.
    When I drop the compression in iTunes and sync with my iPad (Model MB293LL)  - it syncs perfectly with the iPad - and I see the Chapter Markers - but the "names" of them are lost!  They're just renamed 1, 2, 3, etc and I've completely lost the number I've used to rename them???
    So I "see" all the chapter markers - but their 'name' has been lost?
    Interestingly, if I bring in the same movie to my iPhone - the Chapter markers show up perfectly!  And hold my "name" perfectly.  Is this an iPad bug?
    But I could've sworn that a year or so ago, this did all work.  Anyone else have this issue - that the chater marer names are lost in iPad?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    So from that I'd say it doesn't seem to be a quirk of Compressor's or FCP's reading of the markers.
    Maybe an iOS or iPad-specific thing. Unfortunately, not owning an iPad, I can't try and replicate the problem.
    You might want to try a short test where you create and name the markers in Compressor and see whether the names are retained.
    Perhaps the iPad discussion forum could turn up someone who has had that experience…and a solution.
    Good luck.

  • 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.
