Exporting Chapter Markers in FCP for iDVD

Suddenly, I can not get idvd to recognize any of the chapter markers I exported from FCP. It had always worked in the past but for some reason doesn't anymore. Is anyone else having this problem?

Well, you either put the markers on the CLIP (not on the timeline where it should be) or you changed something that broke the tenuous connection that holds everything together in the time/life continuum.

  • 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,

    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!

  • Export Chapter Markers in Quicktime to iDVD

    I know that when you export a movie from iMovie as a full quality QT, the chapter markers aren't included (why they changed this i'll never understand). However, i was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of an article or posting that explains the work-arounds for this. I don't want to export straight to iDVD because when i do, iDVD creates a "new" DVD project for each exported iMovie (i want to export a number of movies to a single iDVD project). I tried searching the forums for info on this but couldn't find anything. I'm sure you'll let me know if i'm wrong
    Grant.

    Sue,
    Thanks for that. If i were to go down the "export to
    iDVD" route in iMovie, how can i select the iDVD
    project i want it to export to rather than iDVD
    creating a new project each time i export from
    iMovie?
    Hi there!
    You should realy try KPs way after finishing movie.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1703446&#1703446
    Open a new idvdprjct an drag the file there, the quality will be so much better and buttons and all will just pop up in menu of choice...

  • 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

  • Keep chapter markers from fcp 7 to dvd studio 4

    might've posted this before...
    ive used iDVD for a while and know the preference for the chapter markers from FCP 7 to iDVD.  finally using Studio pro trying to firgure out about automatic chapter markers.  I edited it in FCP X and exported it to make the chapters in FCP 7
    I have a few different format files
    from FCP 7
    8.03 gig DVD studio chapter marked
        8.03 gig compression marked
    then in compression
    best quality 90 min DVD
    A dolby Digital Pro 2 says "the destiation does not have read/write access"
    or the mpeg 2     6.2mbps 2 pass      """"""
    then I tried using individual clips from fcp 7 in/out export feature, but that seems to to be to large
    how should i fix this annoying issue

    I'm talking about Compressor.
    Compressor wants a destination to which to send an output file. Unless otherwise specifiedm the default destination is Source. That means it will be written to wherever (drive>folders path) the source file was stored.

  • Import Chapter Markers con FCP to DVDSP

    I have a movie with 13 Chapter Markers in FCP 5.0.4
    I have imported this to DVDSP 4.0.3 but there are no chapter markers.
    I have exported the mvoie as DV PAL using Quicktime.
    Quicktime sees all the chapter markers. I can jump to each chapter.
    In DVDSP I made a new track and drag-drop the exported DV file to this track.
    So far that's fine. I can preview the track. However, there is only one chapter marker at the beginning of the track.
    where have all the other markers gone?
    I am a complete newbe to DVDSP.
    Thanks for your advise.

    Hi Yoochul !
    Thanks, right, I was looking for the 'add chapter marker' in the cmd-alt-M pop-up menu.
    btw: I import file from FCP using 'export quicktime movie' and let DVDSP do the encoding. This is because Compressor corrupts my file system unavoidably.
    Is there a quality difference if I encode using compressor or DVDSP? I guess I read some months ago that DVDSP is better than compressor anyway?
    many thanks

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Exporting video in 16:9 with chapter markers in fcp

    I have been triyng to export a video in 16:9 with chapter markers but when opened with idvd I can only get either the format or the chapters by using two diferent procedures. Is there any way I can have it in the right format and with the chapter markers? If not, is there any other program, lets say dvd studio pro, that can do it. How should I export them?
    Thank you all for your help.

    Its SD, I found a way to export it so it would understand anamorphic but them I dont have the chapter marks.
    I will try the other forum, thank you.

  • What format to export from FCP for iDVD?

    I am having trouble coming from FCP to iDVD. Material was shot HDV on a Sony Z5 and I downconverted to DV to edit on FCP. I make a Quick Time Movie of the edit (as DV PAL) but the pans are all juddery. How should I export from FCP to stop the juddering on pans?

  • 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.
