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

  • Importing Chapter Markers from FCP

    I create chapter markers in Final Cut Pro and bring the movie into iDVD for mastering. But when I playback the DVD, there are no chapter markers on screen. What should I be doing that I'm not doing?

    I recommend against using anything but "Chapter Markers" upon export as it has been known to cause issues with previous and current versions of iDVD. Since we don't know exactly why this affects some users and not all users, it is best to avoid the issue altogether and just use "Chapter Markers."
    If you know that you will be sending your footage to DVD SP, then use DVD Studio Pro Markers upon export.

  • Unable to import Chapter Markers

    Hello - I am trying to import Chapter Markers from FCP to DVDSP. I double-clicked 'm' in the timeline (not in the clips), clicked on Add Chapter Marker; labeled them, then File/Export/ Quicktime Movie, and where it says Markers, chose DVD Studio Pro Markers. I also tried Chapter Markers, just to see if that would work, but neither of them seem to work - I don't see any of my markers in DVD SP. I have done this several times before, and never had a problem, so, not sure what step I might be missing...ok, thanks.

    try leaving the <comment> in the box and then typing after that
    i.e. <comment> chapter 1, <comment> chapter, 2 etc.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Chapter markers not appearing in DVDSP

    I have a movie in FCP (NTSC, 4:3 SP) with several chapter markers. I exported the movie from FCP as Quicktime with "All Markers" selected. I viewed the file with QT, and the markers showed up. I compressed the movie using compressor. I imported the compressed movie into DVDSP, and the markers didn't show up.
    I looked at the various related messages here, and the suggestion to use the uncompressed file to establish the markers sounded good. I imported the uncompressed file, oops, no chapter markers.
    I checked my software revisions, and updated Quicktime to 7.1.1. per the Apple site. I re-created the Quicktime file using FCP and imported it, uncompressed, again into DVDSP -- no markers.
    I exited everything. I started FCP, created a brand-new project, imported a small clip, set 3 markers, 1 chapter, 1 chapter+compression, 1 chaptercompressionscore. I exported the file as QT with "all Markers" selected. I viewed the file with QT, and the markers are there. I put this QT file into a new project in DVDSP -- no markers showed up at all.
    We can ignore Compressor for the time being, as DVDSP doesn't see the markers even if Compressor is not used. The culprit seems to be DVDSP. Is there some DVDSP setting that needs to be set to get it to recognize markers? I've had it work ok in the past, I don't know what's changed.
    thanks for any help!!!

    I don't know why people post that advice. It's flat out wrong. Sorry you got bad directions.
    Anyways, If you're exporting out to DVD and your QuickTime Movie will be compressed via Compressor or DVDSP's internal encoder, do not export using All Markers because that embeds the marker data in a way that DVDSP and Compressor cannot properly parse. If you're going to send to Compressor or DVDSP's internal encoder, select DVD Studio Pro Markers during export from FCP.
    Selecting DVDSP Markers exports Chapter, Compression and Cut markers. Cut markers are created by FCP whenever you make a cut in the timeline. With cut markers present, every time your start a new clip - or you simply use the Add Edit command (Control-V) - it's the same as adding a compression marker, in that it greatly improve encoding forcing an I-frame in the GOP.
    And, for what it's worth, there is no need to flag a marker as both a chapter and a compression marker - chapter markers are automatically compression markers. They force an I-frame in the GOP structure, just like a compression marker

  • 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

  • Exporting Chapter Markers from FCP cuts movie. Help.

    Exporting a 90 min movie with chapter markers to a quicktime file for DVDSP.
    When I play it back, it starts half way through on a random chapter.
    Why is this happening?
    I've tried exporting from the browser and the timeline.

  • Importing chapter markers from Final Cut Pro

    I usually set up my chapter markers and screen shots in FCP.
    If I share this to QuickTime or iTunes library, the chapter markers are present and work well.
    This was not always the case but since the latest update of FCP it works like a charm.
    However if I export it to COMPRESSOR (because it works faster) the markers are lost.
    I have successfully set channel markers in COMPRESSOR and that works, but my work flow seems to make more sense to set up the channels in FCP. (this is mostly because I often decide to do an edit change when I think about the marker...)
    COMPRESSOR gives me the option to load markers, but I don't know how to get them out of FCP.
    So...
    What do I need to do to export markers from FCP so they can be imported to COMPRESSOR.
    (before you ask, both FCP and COMPRESSOR are the latest post-Christmas, vastly improved versions.
    Thanks.

    Barry, You shouldn't have to do anything. What settings are you compressing to?

  • No chapter Markers showing up in DVDSP

    Funny thing, I see my chapter markers in compressor in the PREVIEW WINDOW but, they dont show up on my timeline in DVDSP.
    Never had this issue before.

    Not sure why, but there back after turning off the compression markers.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • IDVD 6 not importing chapter markers?

    I'm exporting a Quick Time self-contained movie from FCE 4 to iDVD 6 with chapter markers checked. iDVD doesn't recognize markers. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Hi
    Just thinking that You might find one idea or two from my list of notes.
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    *How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do*
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mixdown
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    *Free space on Start-up hard disk*
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    *Encoding*
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    *Brand and type of DVDs used*
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    *Burn speed set*
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    *iDVD BUG*
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    *Use of Chapters*
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it stlf
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    *Material used to build movie*
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screensaving

  • 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.

  • Export fcp 5 to compressor, bye-bye chapter markers

    If I'm reading the manuals and the pro training books right, the only way to export chapter markers from FCP 5 is to a QT movie. That kinda stinks a little.
    Would a workaround be to export to QT and then run compressor as stand-alone? Seems like an extra step, more time and a possiblity of introducing artifacts from all of the handling.
    I also tried to export markers as text file. DVD SP can import a chapter marker text file.
    My original plan was to create the chapter markers in Compressor so I would get exact i-frame placement, but what a royal pain! At least in FCP you can bang through them with keyboard shortcuts.

    How much space is left on that external drive? As to the rez of your timeline, pick the sequence, and select Command-0 (that's a zero). The dialogue box will tell you what codec you're working with.
    Without knowing anything else, you will definitely experience better performance by exporting to a different drive than your media is on - that drive is being asked to both read and write at the same time, which slows it down considerably. If you can export it to a different drive, you can expect to see your export time cut perhaps in half.
    However, six hours is still way too long. There's some other problem going on here, it may be the drive being too full or perhaps the rez of your sequence is really high.
