Quicktime to .flv with chapter marks - possible?

I want to export from FCP via quicktime conversion then convert the QT files to .flv files using flash encoder but i want to keep my QT chapter marks within the .flv file so that the viewer can jump to each chapter - is this possible?

The markers actually show up when I playback on Quicktime X. I tried Make Movie again from Premiere to a Quicktime movie with DV25 codec (HUGE file size since it's not H.264), and the markers actually work right. What gives?

Export with chapter marker to iDVD

Ok something has slipped from my memory.
I'm trying to create a DVD of my recent project. I created 12 chapter markers with the first being 00:00:15:01 into it. I exported it to Quicktime movie (not conversion) I selected add Audio and Video and include Chapter Markers. I made it not self contained. But no chapters appeared in iDVD? I tried including All Markers and also tried including Studio Pro markers without success.
Any suggestions?

I've exported a sequence with chapter markers using Quicktime conversion and all the chapter markers show up except for the last one. Looking back at the original sequence in FCE, this last chapter marker is the only one that is a pink marker on the clip rather than a green marker on the timeline. I've tried several times to delete this chapter marker and re-create it. Each time, it reappears as a pink marker tied to the clip. Is there a way to force it into the timeline? The only difference between this chapter marker and the others is this one is located at the beginning of the credits at the end of a movie which were created using the Boris plug-in for a scrolling title. All the others appear correctly in the timeline were tied to normal video clips.
Would the fact that I'm creating a chapter marker in the part of the sequence created using the plug-in cause the marker to behave differently?

Just duplicate QT movie with chapter marker dropdown!

Hi,
This should be simple . . . very simple . . . but I don't think iDVD will do it? I have a QuickTime movie - shot with the HVX200, overcranked - stunning video with numerous chapter markers created in Final Cut Pro exported as a self contained movie. I love the way you can click the little window at the lower right side of the QT player, and the chapter markers just drop drown so you can choose which one you 'd like to see.
I'd like to create a DVD of exactly that . . . what looks like a QuickTime player where I just click the little play triangle, and it plays. To see chapter markers, just click the little number (chapter marker) at the bottom of the screen - and voila - the chapter marker dropdown comes down. Is there a way iDVD twill let the quicktime movie look exactly like . . . the quicktime movie? No menus, no special screens - just the QT player window and movie in it !
Can this be done? Thanks very much for considering. (I also posted this on the DVD Studio Pro board, just in case that'll do it?)
Larry
Thanks

I started to answer a while back and safari crashed so I gave up.
There's no way to get Keynote to see the chapters, but to answer your other question...
try this:

I think their Textation app lets you add chapter tracks.
I usually use Final Cut Pro to make chapters, then once I've run my final DV movie through compression those get stripped out. A few simple steps and you can graft the chapter file from your original DV file into the web versions (we do this every week at my church).

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 ....

Help with chapter/marker issue, please

Using DVDSPRO 2.0.5.
One track, 58 mins of movie.
Have set five chapter markers and buttons, plus one 'Play Whole Movie' button.
Playback via 'Play Whole Movie' button results in playback of Whole Movie track stopping at the end of each chapter and jumping back to Main Menu.
It did not do this playback jump-back on my set-top box, but it DID do it on a client's player. Oh dear.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't the Main Movie Track play straight through (i.e. ignore) each marker and continue to the absolute end, i.e. minute 58?
(End Jump of Whole Movie track is set to Main Menu.)
Can this only be avoided by using Stories, and telling the Main Track that it must play through without stopping at the Chapter Markers?
G4 Quicksilver 860 Mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP 4.5 HD

My own solution:
Create a second 'Whole Movie' track with the same Whole Movie asset. This Track is connected to the Play Whole Movie Button. The track has NO Chapter Markers. It of course jumps back to Main menu at its end,
The original 'Whole Movie' track with Chapter Markers is re-named to 'Story Track'. The Chapter Buttons are connected to this markers on track.
Might this fix the problem for EVERY SET-TOP BOX?

MPEG2 or MP4 with chapter marker export for playing back on TV.

Is it possible to export a project from Adobe premiere pro to MPEG2 or MP4 format with chapter markers information for playing back on a TV via usb conection?

It is not. But the following program can create MP4 files with them.

Whether or not the TV will read them is another matter.

Quicktime H.264 with chapter markers

I tried encoding a DV25 sequence with Encore/chapter markers to a Quicktime H.264 movie. Upon playback and checking through markers on Quicktime X, the movie keeps jumping to the end of the file rather than at the marker point. Anyone know why this is, and how to remedy it?

The markers actually show up when I playback on Quicktime X. I tried Make Movie again from Premiere to a Quicktime movie with DV25 codec (HUGE file size since it's not H.264), and the markers actually work right. What gives?

Quicktime in Yosemite not showing chapter marks?

Hi,
If I open my video (made in Final Cut Pro X), I don't see chapter marks in Yosemite using Quicktime.
If I open the same file in Quicktime on my Pc, chapter marks are showing perfectly.
If I open then video in VLC, chapter marks are shown perfectly.
Is Quicktime Yosemite broken?
Thanks

QuickTime Player 7 installs in the Applications/Utilities folder.

Splitting Quicktime Movie at Chapter Marks

Is there a quick, easy way to take a QT movie with chapter marks, and split it into multiple files at the chapter marks? It seems like this ought to be simple, and yet I can't find any documentation about it.

Thank you, but my question was perhaps unclear. The reference you provided explains how to create a chapter track. That was not my question. I already HAVE a chapter track. What I want to do now is to split my QT file into several independent files, using the chapter track as cut points.
Use: I have a large (1.5 hour) movie that has been annotated with chapter marks every 3-4 minutes. Now I want to split the large file into many short, 3-4 minute independent movies. Is there some easy way to do this?

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?

Exporting 16:9 with chapter markers to idvd

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.

Hi
Got problem with Chapters too - It was my own fault.
A. Must Use Chapter Marks - not just only Marks
B. Must NOT - fiddle with the text in this box set - I thought me to be clever by renaming as I wanted them to be - Result = No Chapter Marks.
Do the re-naming in iDVD - here it's OK and works.
C. The export over to iDVD Export as
• EXPORT With Chapter Marks
• Not self-containing - not important but saves Time and Space
• QuickTime movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL ! !
D. This file I import (drop) into a BRAND NEW iDVD Project - Never go back to update as this set's off the iDVD BUG. If error in movie found and need of change - THEN Start a Brand New iDVD project and all will be well.
(E. Never let iDVD convert from NTCS to PAL or other way around and not feed it 24fps video - as result will be BAD) - If of need - Please come back for instr. on how.
Yours Bengt W

Help with chapter title text and removing "{" symbol

I am trying to creat a Quicktime Pro movie with chapter titles. I followed the instructions in the Quicktime user manual to use a text editor and I am able to creating the chapter markers as desired, however, my chapter titles all have the "}" symbol at the beginning. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my text file. See my text file below. When I import the below file my chapter titles show "}Chapter 1" and so on. I have tried putting an extra space, return break and it still doesn't work. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!!

Chapter marker and video ipod

My problem is the following:
I have made a mv4 movie using Imovie with chapter marker. I must admit that it is working perfectly on iTunes I can use the chapter marker on the top of the screen. But, I can't use the chapter marker on my Ipod.
It seems that my movie is not in the podcast folder but in the movie folder. Does it make any differences? And if yes how can I transfer my exported-for-ipod movie from the movie folder to the podcast folder (in the ipod).
Thank you very for your help.

Try using the "Save as..." option to place the chaptered H.264/AAC movie in a MOV file container.

Not as far as playback is concerned in iTunes or on the iPod.
And if yes how can I transfer my exported-for-ipod movie from the movie folder to the podcast folder (in the ipod).
An file created using the "Movie to iPod" export option is (supposedly) compatible with playback on an iPod. This process does not, however, create a Podcast. To turn you iPod compatible file into a Podcast, run it through an application like Podcast Maker. This will mark the file internals properly, upload the file to your server, and take care of XML/RSS requirements.

Chapter marker help and two-part DVD's

Hi,
I've got a dance show that I have edited and now need to put into a DVD. I have a couple of questions I need answering so would really appreciate a little help
The show is in two halves - first half and second half (duh lol). Do I need to put each half into a separate sequence and then open in Encore, or do I just have it as one long sequence?
I've figured out there are Encore Chapter Markers, which I've set accordingly - is there anything different I need to do when it comes to two halves?
Thanks for your help!
Nath

Hi Nath,
AME = Adobe Media Encoder. From Premiere, make sure your Sequence is selected, then use File > Export > Media and this launches AME. Maybe I'm old school, but I prefer the control I have using AME directly versus Dynamic Link which is more "auto pilot". I think what I like is that if I encode my Sequence to "MPEG-2 for DVD" prior to opening Encore, then Encore doesn't have to encode the video, which means once my menus are done, I can have a proof DVD in hand in literally minutes! I'm usually ready for a break when completing an edit, so then is a good time for me to encode, then I come at the DVD authoring fresh and have no wait for encoding in that process.
The only catch with manually encoding the DVD content is to get the correct encoding rate so it all fits the disc. I use the formula 560/minutes=rate, so for instance 560/120=4.66 and I just round down a bit to 4.5 to allow for any overhead.
In AME, choose "MPEG-2 for DVD" for format and for the preset, choose what is appropriate to your footage, for instance "NTSC Widescreen High Quality". Then under the VIDEO tab, you can choose CBR or VBR (Constant or Variable Bit Rate) and set the bit rate according to program length. Google CBR and VBR because I know that will be the next question. I prefer CBR unless program is very long.
This will Export TWO files - an .m2v for video, and .wav for audio. Any chapter marks in Premiere are written to other files, but you need not worry about those. In Encore, start a new DVD project, then use File > Import > As Timeline and just multi-select both the .m2v and .wav files. They will import to a timeline, with chapter marks included!
When you finally build the project, the .wav audio is by default converted to Dolby Digital, which is much smaller than .wav, so if you are adding the sizes of the .m2v and .wav and think "they won't fit the disc", the audio compression should fix that if you encoded at the correct rate.
As mentioned, the nice thing is that when you Build, you will see the progress bar Transcoding Audio, but not video, so it goes VERY quickly, just a couple of minutes to build a 2-hour DVD unless you have complex motion menus to render.
Hope I'm not adding more confusion, go ahead and use Dynamic Link if that is most comfortable for you, but good to know how to use AME as well.
Thanks

Chapter marker "MenuLoopPoint" with Compressor

Hello,
Sorry,excuse my bad english.
After to use Compressor for to code in .m2v my FCP sequence with this chapter marker for use in Menu background in DVDSP, it is not possible to find directly the position of the point of the Menu's loop in this Menu.
It's OK when I use directly the FCP sequence.
It's also OK to find all the chapter markers when I code in .m2v the other medias for my DVD burning.

Jacques,
In order to create the "MenuLoopPoint" marker that DVDSP wants, you first need to deselect any tracks that you have in Motion (Edit > Deselect All). In the Timeline, place the playhead where you want the loop point to occur. Now select Mark > Markers > Add Marker. Instead of the small red marker that gets placed on a track, a larger green marker gets placed above the Timeline (note: your colors may be different depending on how you've configured your settings). Double-click on the marker or select Mark > Markers > Edit Marker... A dialog box appears with a pop-up menu option after "Type". Select "DVD Menu Loop". Save and Quit Motion. Now when you drag the Motion project to the DVDSP canvas, your loop point will be set.
Hope this helps,
Scott.
