Losing chapter markers when moving sequence into main timeline

My second problem may be solved by solving or understanding my main problem.
Here's the situation:
When I build sequences in FCP and put in chapter markers (I know how to successfully do that when I am working only on a single sequence, so I think the basics are clear) and then drag this sequence into my main timeline I lose the chapter markers and then have to go back through and set them up again (yes they are marked by red markers along the bottom of the timeline). It seems like a nuisance that this is the way the system is set up. Am I missing something or are chapter markers really not moveable from sequence to sequence?
And this brings me to the second problem:
I export as QT into iDVD and when "Scenes" are set up there seems to be no rhyme or reason as how to navigate the chapters (this is after burning the to DVD and popping it in the DVD player). Example: I press the right button and the cursor moves down. Any ideas on what is going wrong?

Yes, I understand the distinction about where to put the chapters markers.
I do put them on the timeline in a sequence. And there they are marked. I can open them and see that they are marked as <CHAPTER>. If I then export this sequence sure enough iDVD sets up scenes to select from.
My problem is when I build start putting sequences next to each other in my main timeline/squence. I hope that's clear. It would look something like this:
Sequence 1: Sequence 2: Sequence 3 etc.
In this case I would lose the chapter markers from seq 2 and 3. Then I have to go in and reset new chapter markers in seq 2 & 3. Of course I can do that and I have, but I was just wondering if there was a way to make them carry forward so I don't have to duplicate work.
Will post my iDVD question to that discussion forum.

  • Chapter Markers in Nested Sequence

    I'm having trouble getting my chapter markers to appear in iDVD. I nested a sequence so that I could apply a WS matte over the whole thing. I created chapter markers in the parent sequence which show up just fine in iDVD. When I try to use the nested sequence in iDVD, my chapter markers do not appear.
    The chapter markers are showing up in the timeline for my nested sequence as pink markers underneath each track instead of the green ones which are in the top of the timeline bar of my parent sequence. When I click on them, they have the exact same info as the green ones from the parent sequence, including the <CHAPTER> notation. I know they are supposed to be in the top of the timeline bar, but I can't seem to move them. Like I said, the parent sequence works just fine in iDVD.
    Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

    Nevermind... I figured it out...
    I needed to create new chapter markers in my nested sequence. I just used the pink ones under the tracks as a guide for where to put them.

  • How to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline?

    Is it possible to add chapter markers to every clip in a timeline without going 1 by 1?  I have over 1,000 clips in the timeline and I need to add a chapter marker for every clip.

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not. I've been using Compound clips, and I wanted chapter markers at the start of each compound clip, with the text in the marker set to the name of the compound clip.
    I developed a keystroke workflow to do this, then used an application called "Keyboard Maestro" to record the keystrokes and reply them each time I press a hotkey. I had to add some timing delays, but once I did, it works great. All I have to do is press the hotkey, and it moves to the start of the next clip and adds the chapter marker. I even created another keystroke that does this 10 times in a row, so I only had to press it once for each 10 clips (because of timing issues, you can't just press the hotkey 10 times quickly).
    If you're interested in more details, I can supply them, but I won't bother unless this sounds like something that might help you.

  • Exporting: losing chapter markers

    I have a video with 6 sequences. #2-5 are the 5 sections of my video. Sequence #1 contains the other 5 in order, to give me a "full video" sequence.
    When I export a single sequence, the chapter markers remain intact. But when I export Sequence #1 (which contains all 5), all chapter markers are lost.
    (Exporting through Compressor to DVD Studio Pro.)
    How can I export my full video without losing the chapter markers?
    Thanks for any help!

    You're correct, the green chapter markers are in each individual sequence. What threw me off though, is that even in the "master" sequence (containing the nested ones), I could right-click on the timeline and all the chapter markers were available to jump to. I don't understand why they don't export.
    I did export the sequences separately. In DVDSP, creating a separate track for each one preserves the chapter markers. But if I combine them on a single track as you suggested, only the first clip/sequence has its chapter markers -- none of the others come in with the clips.
    So, I now have five separate tracks, and had to recreate all the stories I'd already done, as well as re-link all my menus. What a huge amount of unnecessary work.
    The FCP manual talks about nested sequences and suggests using them to combine into one master sequence. It sure doesn't mention that you lose all your chapter markers.
    Is there a better way to get FCP sequences into DVDSP (with chapter markers) than creating separate tracks, as I had to? This seems like a really fragmented workflow.
    Thank you very much for your insight, and for your time!

  • Missing chapter markers when I share my iMovie

    I want to take an iMovie and transfer it to DVD Studio Pro 3. When I share my iMovie as a DV file, it imports as one large chapter into DVD SP3. The chapter markers are missing. I used to be able to do this prior to upgrading to iMovie HD. Is it still possible?
    I also noticed that I used to see the chapter markers in Quicktime when I shared my iMovie, but now with QT 7 Pro and iMovie HD, the chapter markers have disappeared.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can I recompress without losing Chapter markers?

    Hi all,
    I have a couple of QT movies (m4v) that I exported from FCP using compressor that have chapter markers which show up great in QT. I want to make the movies smaller still (they are about 800MB at the moment, I really need less than 500MB) but if I try and select the compressor options (QVGA) that will get the movie that small, I seem to lose the chapter markers. I'm thinking maybe I can use the chapter markered QT file as the source and just compress that but Compressor does not seem to import the Chapter markers from the QT file it created!!
    Any ideas? Many thanks

  • Want to keep my chapter markers when exporting to a .mov

    I'm (very) inexperienced with video editing in general but have been finding my way with premiere pro. I'm at the stage where I am ready to export. I want to create a .mov file and leave in all the chapter markers I have already set.
    After the last export there seems to be some recognition that the chapters are there however they all seem to be set at the 00:00:00 mark (all 20+ of them)
    It's 60 minutes of footage from a Roller Derby bout. I am exporting with these setting 1080i, 29.97fps, progressive, quality 90, h.264, uncompressed sound. (any advice on changing these settings for optimal performance for sports footage with a smaller file size would also be greatly appreciated)
    Chapter markers are "encore chapter markers" regular markers don't seem to work either.
    Thanks!

    Not sure as I've never tried it and don't have anythng BT except my Android phone.
    Once the system boots and get connected with the BT keyboard & mouse I don't see why not.

  • Audio levels not retained when pasting clips into another timeline

    I have FCP 5.1.4
    When I copy audio clips with keyframed levels and paste into another timeline, the levels are all messed up upon pasting.
    What's the deal? Anyone see this before?

    Not sure why such weird behavior occurs (Could it be caused by some corrupted preferences therefore trashing them could solve the problem?). however, as a work around have you tried to copy and paste attributes from the audio clip in sequence 1 to the audio clip in sequence 2? That should give you the same keyframes you had in the copied clip (Original sequence).

  • FCP X crashes when dragging effects into the timeline

    FCP X will crash when I try to drag an effect from the effects panel into the timeline. This happens for effects, transitions, titles - the lot.
    The weird thing is, this only happens on some events, others are fine. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a fix?
    Thanks,
    J

    Unfortunately I can't get that far in the process to be able to answer your question.
    The crash doesn't occur when I try to add a transition to a file or storyboard - it happens when I try to drag the transition outside of it's own panel.
    As you can see in the screenshot, when the file being dragged touches the red line, FCP shuts down without warning.
    Very confusing and annoying!

  • Help Please.  Audio does not play back when moving by frame in timeline

    Normally when I advance through the timeline frame by frame using the left and right arrow keys I can hear the audio. But it just stopped working. Any ideas?

  • Macbook restarts after going to sleep when not plugged into mains

    Hi all,
    I've a mid-2012 Macbook Pro running Yosemite (10.10.3), 2.5GHz i5 and have just recently upgraded it to 16GB RAM (and I'm wondering if that's the problem).
    The post title says it all really - if I let the computer go to sleep when it's not plugged into the mains, when I wake it up by pressing a key it restarts. Battery life is not a factor in this - I can have lots of juice left but the same thing will happen.
    Once rebooted, I get the 'Your computer restarted because of a problem' window with the following text; I'm hoping someone smarter than me might be able to spot something in this that will help resolve the problem.
    Any thoughts appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Hey Tim, 
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro is spontaneously restarting, and you wonder if it’s because you recently added memory to the notebook. Take a look at the article linked below which provides a lot of great information about “kernel panics” and specific troubleshooting related to RAM.

    Weird.

  • NO SOUND WHEN MOVING VIDEOS INTO iMOVIE!! something about Mpeg muxed?!?!

    I recorded my videos with my sony cybershot camera - no problems. I can rip them onto my Macbook Pro and watch them in quicktime and hear the sound just fine - no problems. But, when I pull the videos into iMovie HD to edit and try to watch the play back, I see video but no sound!! I looked in the help tab and it said that if my videos are Mpeg 1 "muxed" (or something like that) then I won't be able to hear any sound. Well how do I convert my videos to something that will allow me to hear the sound when I'm editing them in iMovie HD???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thanks!

    Welcome to discussions, designerman.
    iMovie can't import MPEG1 or MPEG 2 files, and that's waht you are trying to do.

  • How to set up a time default when moving images into FCE

    I am making a combined video and still image movie. I have over a 100 images that I am importing. When I put the images on the timeline they automatically are at 10 seconds. Is there a way to change the default? I want most of them at 4 seconds and I don't want to edit down everyone I put on the timeline.

    Yes there is!
    Choose Final Cut Express>User Preferences (or hit Option/alt Q)
    In User Preferences change the Still/Freeze duration from 10:00 to 4:00
    Then Import your stills they will all be of a 4 second duration.
    You're sorted.
    Hopes this helps
