Copy of Encore Chapter Marks in PP

Hi,
Is there a way to copy the Encore Chapter marks from a nested sequence into the main sequence that they get exported? Or is there an easy way to at least jump directly to these marks of the nested sequence in the main sequence?

No to both.  Sequence or Encore markers turn into Clip markers when a sequence is nested.  There used to be a way to navigate directly to a clip marker within the sequence, but inexplicably Adobe removed that incredibly useful abaility for CS6.  Please let them you you want "clip marker navigation within the sequence" back.

  • Whats the point of "Add Encore Chapter Marker" if I have to export it to m2v to use the sequence in

    Eh collegues there is a button on the timeline "Add Encore Chapter MArker"
    But since I have to export the entire sequence in M2V and WAV if i want to use it in enocre, then whats the point of this?
    Can i put the timeline to encore without having to export the whole project in m2v via the "File>Export>Export to encore" option?

    File, export, movie. Export as dv avi. then open encore and import as timeline.
    You can make chapter points in premiere as well, but you have to use sequence markers. when you export movie, make sure you include chapter markers under compile settings. Or you can make chapter markers in encore.

  • Encore Chapter marks not imported into Encore CS5

    I am using Encore dynamic link with Premiere CS5.5 and the timelines are showing up minus all my encore chapter markers. I have gone back to make sure thathat every marker has a chapter title and the "Encore Chapter" marker is set in the option for the marker menu. Oddly enough a much smaller project I did a while back worked fine. Any suggestions?

    A quick look, and I'm not sure how this can go wrong, as long as:
    You are DLing a sequence that has the Encore marker in it (not in a sequence that is nested).
    You are CS5 (or 5.5 I assume; I have CS5) and you are clicking on the Encore marker to add. CS5 does not require you to add names; Encore will autogenerate names if they are missing.
    If this is not working, create a new PR project, add a short clip to a sequence, add one Encore marker, DL to a new Encore project. Does it come in?

  • 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.

  • Swap video but keep chapter marks?

    Is it possible to replace the video file in a timeline without losing the Encore chapter marks? I do not mean dynamically linked video from Premiere or AE, but pre-rendered video imported into Encore CS6 and chapter markes created in Encore.
    I am having an issue with Encore insisting on transcoding my .264 video file, so I want to replace it with a .m4v file, but I do not want to lose the chapter marks in doing so. It's annoying having to add them over and over again.

    Hi,
    I think that the "Replace Asset" function should work for you. Try right clicking on the asset in the project window, and select the new video.
    Good luck

  • Ripple Delete including Encore Chapter Markers

    Hi Everyone.....my first post!!!
    I'm trying to do a ripple delete of about 25 seconds of video at the start of the time line......the remainder of the time line has 10 Encore chapter markers in there correct places......when I perform the delete the video moves over correctly but the chapter markers stay in there original places and do not follow the 25 second jump.
    I have looked in the FAQ's on here and the PP Wiki site and other places and have not found an answer.
    Can it be dun?....What do I need to do?
    I'll bet it's something simple that I'm missing......surely this feature or setting is built into the program.
    Using PP CS3 V3.1.1 Win XP Pro SP3 P4 3.6 HT and 4Gig of ram. Video drive is Fibre Channel array through a Dell 56F switch at the moment
    Thanks for your time.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Chapter markers (and sequence markers, for that matter) are locked to a specific time code in the sequence. You'll have to change the chapters markers manually, which should only take you a minute or two:
    1) Ripple delete the footage you want to remove from the head of the sequence, making note of the duration of the removed piece.
    2) Right-click on the time ruler on your timeline, and find the option to jump to the next Encore chapter marker. You can also customize your keyboard settings to map the "next" and "previous" commands to your keyboard, which will make this process even faster. In any event, the CTI (current time indicator) will jump to the next chapter marker in the timeline.
    3) Making sure that you have no clips selected in the timeline (press Ctrl + Shift + A to de-select all), use your numerical keypad to type a minus sign ("-") and then the duration that you noted up above. When you press enter, the CTI will jump back that amount of time.
    4) Using your mouse cursor, select the chapter marker where you were just positioned and drag it back to the CTI. It should snap into place. Repeat this process to move the remaining marks, which should not take too long as you only have a few marks.
    Hope that helps...!

  • Encore content was just loaded to my library and one of the menus will not allow me to drag a line from chapter marker to timeline?  I connected the menu item in the properties menu and the video box is blank?  Help

    Can someone please help.  In the flowchart, I am unable to drag a line from menu item to chapter markers.  I get a circle with a line through it.  I had to connect menu with chapter markers through the properties panel.  The video asset for that chapter marker is not appearing in the box above the title of that menu?

  • Blu-Ray Stops Playing at 1st Chapter Marker

    I am battling an issue I cannot get my arms around.  I have a 3-hour video that I have sent From Premier Pro (CS4) to Encore via Adobe Link.
    In Encore I rendered the video as a Blu-Ray image and set the play parameters to make the disc auto-playing.  That is the DVD has no menu start page.  The First Play is set to the beginning of the timeline, and the End action is STOP.
    I do not have any Overrides set at all in my Encore project.  I have checked both the disc and the timeline panels, and Override is set to "Not Set" in both cases.
    I have Encore Chapter Markers at the origin of the timeline and at every day thereafter of an 18 day trip.
    The .iso image file produced by Encore was then copied to discs using CyberLink Power2Go.
    When the (Blu-Ray) DVD is put into a player, it starts fine but then terminates play at the 1st marker after play starts (this is actually the 2nd timeliine marker, as the first is at the origin, or zero point) about 9 minutes into the DVD.
    When I examine the Stream file  (BDMV>STREAM>00000.m2ts) on the disc, it does contain the entire video, and it plays just fine.
    Thus I am assuming that something has not correctly constructed the playlist scripts causing the playback to start at the beginning but STOP at the first Chapter marker it encounters after starting play.
    Any thought on how to debug and fix this issue will be GREATLY appreciated!!
    PS - I just opened this Encore project and used the Preview function to play the video.  The preview STOPS also at the first chapter marker (9 minutes into the video) exactly as in the finished DVD.
    I can find nothing unusual about this marker, but it is obviously the culprit!

    OK.  I think I found the issue but not sure why!
    When I set the project up in Encore in the Flowchart window I set the Timeline icon (linked to by the disc as the 1st play item) to an End Action of STOP.
    Since it was the entire timeline that was my 1st play asset, I assumed that the STOP End Action would be at the end of the DVD.
    BUT, apparently it Stops when it encounters the first Marker.
    If I go to the Timeline in Encore and click on the individual Markers, all of them but the first one have an End Action of "Not Set" but the first one has "Stop".
    I have just changed that 1st (at the timeline origin) Marker's End Action to "Not Set" and the last Marker to "Stop"
    I'm guessing this will fix it.  Will report back after I preview things.

  • Timecode Chapter Marker Input Field

    I would love to see an option in the timeline to be able to input into a field the timecode where you want to have a chapter mark. I edit with Avid and I can set marks then just copy them direct just by making some minor changes. But the biggest problems have been having to redo projects because of wild errors.
    EXAMPLE:
    00:00:11:00
    00:01:16:00
    00:02:22:00
    00:03:08:00
    I work with Encore every 2 Months and everytime I'm 99% done with a project Encore gives me some crazy error that I always need to redo my project (4:30am). Sorry for complaining but it's getting really annoying. I LOVE ADOBE but this is killing me.
    Thanks

    You can do that now. Click in the timeline timecode display in the upper left corner of the timeline panel. Enter your timecode. Press the "*" (asterisk) key on the number pad. You now have a new chapter.
    Just remember that if the source video on the timeline is already transcoded, you will only be able to put chapter markers on GOP boundaries (I-frames).

  • Is there a way to directly connect/group a chapter marker to the first frame of a clip?

    I have over 6 hours of SD clips on my timeline.   I ended up having to add more clips throughout the timeline.   I was able to "group" the titles to their respecttive clips so I don't have to deal with moving them when I move their clip.   Now I am curious to know if there is a way to link the Chapter Markers to the first frame of their respective clips so that when I move the clip, so the Chapter Marker moves with it?
    BTW, I know it is best to put the Chapter Markers in last b4 I go on to Encore.   While I was working in Encore I realized it would be more meaningfull to create and add several After Effects "AVI" files between several of my clips.   This work in progress would be a lot easier if I did not have to keep re-adjusting the Chapter Markers everytime I modified the timeline.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Duane  

    Thanks for your suggestion about using the clip markers.   I tried them on a test clip.   They did not come down to the timeline.  Besides, I would want them labeled.   Right now all my clips have a marker that is labeled with the date and location.   The chapter markers are labeled the same way.   I have a spread sheet that list the dates of all the Chapter Markers which connect to the dates on the menu.     This seems like an old fashion way to do things for such a sophisticated software.   Maybe I should put in a feature suggestion to Adobe.   I would do that, but I am afraid that I may embarrass myself as being the only one that ever asked for something like that.   Or they would accuse me of misusing their software.  
    Again, thanks for your suggestion.

  • Chapter marker thumbnails getting duplicated, out of order (FCPX 10.1.4)

    Group - I use FCPX to compile home movies of my kids, the pets, etc. I use footage from a Canon HD camcorder and an iPhone 6+. I import them into FCPX, trim, transition, maybe throw in some music, and usually put in 40 or so stills (JPEGS) at the end for a slide show.
    The project I'm working on now is around 2.5h long after editing and transitions. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each scene, and then drag the pin to set a custom chapter marker thumbnail.
    The issue - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ALL of the thumbnails sorted properly. Meaning, I get one or two out of order, and numerous ones duplicate. I've rebooted, trashed prefs (opt-com start), copied all the clips into a new project and re-rendered, and even deleted them all and manually applied them all again. There are roughly 36 or 37 chapters in this project. I tend to get a different result each time, but with the same general problem.
    Sadly, iMovie worked pretty flawlessly for me, but I thought I'd enjoy the added capabilities of FCPX. The rendering time for this movie on a one year old iMac with 24GB RAM is around 7 hours at 720p, so as you can imagine, it's not been a fun project. I've attached a screenshot of the issue on my AppleTV for reference. I've seen a lot of history with this problem, though many threads proclaimed it 'solved'. I'd disagree. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong, or is this just more stellar quality control from Apple?
    PS - Are there any recommended alternatives to FCPX? I'm noticing I use fewer and fewer Apple-branded apps, I'm starting to see a pattern here.... :^(

    Discs are not my top-priority here, but I remember this rules (for iDVD):
    The Rules of Chapter Markers:
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    *Make sure you do not have the "Share selected Clips" option checked when preparing to share to iDVD
    maybe, these rules were not by limitations of software, but by 'standard'?
    If you test it, try to what happens when you 'violate' these rules ...........

  • Tutorial on Creating Chapter Marks is Incorrect

    I just discovered that by following the tutorial for adding chapter marks to a movie you end up with chapter marks that are duplicated in the chapter popup menu of the QT movie window.
    Instead of "Add to Selection and Scale" as indicated in the tutorial, you need to select "Add to Movie". Once I did this, the chapter marks behaved correctly and did not duplicate. You just need to be sure that the length of your text track is the same length as the video and audio tracks.
    Hope this helps someone from tearing their hair out. Luckily I discovered this before tearing all of mine out.

    Not so fast.
    There's another problem, to do with the duration of the chapter track movie before it is copied and pasted into the main movie.
    The tutorial tells us that when we export the timecode text file to work on, we should set fractions of seconds to 1/30th. I understand that this is because this is the way the Inspector shows time. Which, indeed, seems to be the case. (I just want to make it clear that I did this.)
    Next step: in my text file I fill in my timecodes for the chapters, including the last timecode, which matches the movie's duration. I save the text file, open it in Quicktime and... whaa? The duration is fractionally longer. I select all and paste into my main movie and "Add to movie" and, yes, the chapter track pushes out the end of the movie. Well, no worries, I can trim the end of the movie.
    But this is not enough! I also find that some of the chapters begin at the wrong points. Really odd. It seems to be chapter points early in the movie rather than later, which is counterintuitive since one would think that a timecode error would aggregate over the length of the movie.
    The only way I've found to overcome this issue is to launch QuickTime Player 6 and use this instead. It opens text files with chapter information and creates chapter "movies" of the right length. When pasted into the main movie, chapter markers fall in exactly the right place.
    I think I'd better make a bug report. Anyone else come across this?

  • CS4: Exporting "lightweight" AVI with chapter marks?

    Prior to CS4, I recall being able to export a "lightweight" AVI file using black video filler and the "Expand Stills" option that would contain chapter marks. You could import this AVI into Encore, where the chapter marks would be recognized, and then use the "Replace Asset" option to replace the AVI with an M2V encoded in a different encoder. This worked great--but I can't seem to get it to work any more. I'm guessing that whatever enabled this feature was forcibly extracted when the Media Encoder went solo, but if not--how the heck do I do this?

    Don't see anything like that in CS3.  Closest thing to it is this:   Export / movie / settings / compile settings ....

  • Duplicated chapter marks

    I've just found out about the ability to add chapter marks to QuickTime movies, something which is incredibly useful and should be exploited more often. But I can't seem to get it to work properly...
    Let's say I create a plain text document with my chapter names called "text1", and open that file in QuickTime. When I 'select all', copy, go to my movie, select 'Add to Selection and Scale', go into Movie Properties, choose Other Settings > Chapters [etc...] the little menu that pops up in the timeline shows all of my chapter names perfectly. At this point, I haven't exported "text1" from QuickTime as a text-to-text document.
    When I do export "text1" as a text-to-text document and open "text1" in TextEdit, I get a list of my chapter names and timecodes - I change these timecodes to the corresponding chapter name, and save the file as "text2".
    When I open "text2" in QT and go through 'select all', copy, Movie Properties [etc...] the little menu that pops up in the timeline seems to duplicate most (but not all) of my chapter marks. So for example the list would show:
    Titles
    Titles
    Introduction
    Introduction
    Jo
    Jo
    Claire
    Journey
    Journey
    Arrival
    Arrival
    Dinner
    Party
    Afterwards
    Clicking on the 'duplicate' chapter name takes me to a point in the movie that I haven't specified. This happens *every single time* I put in the correct timecodes to the corresponding chapter name; with every single movie I try, and it's really quite frustrating.
    I know it's a long post - but any help would be much appreciated from you lovely people
    17" iMac G4 800Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   80GB, 768MB RAM

    1. Yes, I'm saving as a .txt file.
    2. Maybe I should have explained it a bit better; I think you might have misunderstood me. The first time I went through the procedure of added chapter markers, everything seemed to go okay, no error messages etc. I noticed that the chapter menu appeared in the timeline, so thought I'd have a look to see it was working okay before I actually saved the file - it was then I noticed that most of the chapter names had been duplicated.
    So then I decided to try again from the beginning; creating a new .txt file with my chapter names, opening and exporting that .txt file from QuickTime. At this point I'd normally open that new file in TextEdit and input the relvant timecodes; but I decided to import that file into my movie, *as if* I'd already put in the relevant timecodes. When I did this, my chapter names appeared fine, no duplications etc. Thinking that everything was okay now, I'd open this .txt file in TextEdit and put in the relevant timecodes, save, and use that file in QT - but the chapter names are duplicated in QT.
    It seems that my chapter names are only ever duplicated whenever I put in my own timecodes in the .txt file (after exporting as a text-to-text in QT). and yes, I'm using QT Pro 7.04, repaired permission etc I do appreciate your help in this.

  • Adding Chapter Marks makes DVD audio not work

    I sent a 65-minute video to Compressor from Final Cut Pro X. In Compressor I used the 'Dolby Digital Professional' and 'MPEG-2 for DVD' settings from the Disc Burning folder as targets, and added a job action to create the DVD. I left all default settings. DVD worked fine with good audio and great picture. Then I manually added Chapter marks in Compressor and created another DVD. This DVD had no sound for about half the video. Any ideas on how I can add Chapter marks in Compressor without losing audio? This is for a school Talent Show with about 25 different acts, so I really want to have a Chapter selection on the DVD. If I try other apps to make the DVD (FCP X, iMovie, iDVD) the video quality suffers terribly, so I'm hoping I can get Compressor to work. Thanks for any help.

    I've come up with a fairly straightforward workaround for this. In Final Cut Pro X, before sending to Compressor, do an audio-only export to an AC3 file (Share...Export media, select "Audio Only" for Export and "AC file" for Audio file format). Then use the "Send to Compressor" function from the Share menu in FCP X. In Compressor, create a DVD using the standard "Dolby Digital Professional" and "MPEG-2 for DVD" settings and adding a "Create DVD" job action. Make sure the target AC3 file name in Compressor has a different name (or location) than the AC3 file you created in FCP X. The resulting DVD does have intermittent audio as before, so it can be discarded.
    Here's the trick:
    Open the folder containing the Compressor-created AC3 file, copy the file name, then move that file to the Trash. Find the FCPX-created AC3 file, rename it with the name of the Compressor-created AC3 file, and move it into the folder where the Compressor-created AC3 file was before you moved it to the Trash. Now you can resubmit your job from Compressor and it will burn a new DVD using the AC3 file you created from FCP X, which should have good audio. For me this created a great looking DVD with the high quality MPEG-2 video from Compressor, and the good audio AC3 from FCP X.
    I think there is a bug when sending FCP X projects with multi-cam portions to Compressor. I've seen two other cases of this on the discussion boards and multi-cam appears to be the common thread. I can't think of any logical reason that an AC3 file created in FCP X would sound fine, but the same FCP X project sent to Compressor results in an AC3 file with intermittent audio.
    At one time I thought the issue was exceeding the capacity of the DVD. But after experimenting I learned that an AC3 file created in Compressor from my multi-cam FCP X project has intermittent audio, even without a "Create DVD" job action. (I used VLC to play back the AC3 file and had the same intermittent audio I had with the DVD).
