Removing unwanted chapter markers from m2v files

I inadvertantly left some unwanted chapter markers in FC sequences which I then exported as m2v files. Is there any way to remove the chapter markers from the m2v files so I don't have to re-render to m2v? I have lots of files!

The original files were edited in FCP, then edited in Motion to add graphic overlays. From there, they were rendered as m2v using Compressor.
The chapter markers are all visible in both FCP and Motion, but both of those options require re-rendering from the source file type back to m2v. This is a time consuming step that I'm hoping to avoid by, somehow, removing the chapter markers from the m2v file itself.
I just need to know if there is any way to remove a chapter marker from an m2v file.

  • How to Copy Chapter Markers from one file to another

    Hi all,
    I am a relatively new GB user, so forgive the hopefully easy question. I want to combine four GarageBand files into one, in order. So right now i have part 1, part 2, part 3, etc.
    I figured out how to copy and paste the actual recordings in sequence (selected them all, copy and paste, worked great.) But I also have chapter markers that I want to copy and paste. I have the spacing worked out PERFECTLY and don't want to re-create them all. I know that I can select all the markers in a file, but they don't seem to want to paste. Instead, the headings from the file that were already there seem to repeat (most likely because of the time headings...)
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    - Many thanks,
    Michael

    Hmm. This is a stumper.
    I don't think it's possible in GB, obviously.
    The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to (from GB) export each project as it's own podcast quicktime movie, then use another app to stitch these movies together? I would think QuickTime Player Pro would do this.
    I tried looking for the chapter markers within the quicktime movie file, hoping you could copy and paste just those, but I didn't find any access to them.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    This is definitely not the behavior I see.  When I left click it adds a marker,
    When I right click, I see the following
    Do you have any OS hacks installed on your computer or have you changed the mouse behavior in system preferences:  mouse?  If not, I'd suggest you run digital rebellions preference manager and reset your dvdsp preferences.

    Well, it should be obvious that you cannot remove apps from the App Store, so I'll assume that not what you actually mean. In addition you cannot remove apps or any iTunes purchased content from your AppleID. You can hide purchases, but that can only be done from iTunes on a computer.

  • Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?

    Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?
    Thanks, Ed

    A qualified "yes". Meaning it should work as stated but in practice there are some issues. There are fewer issues with FCE => iDvd6 than there currently are with iLife'08. I don't have a good explanation for this.
    Btw, this is strictly an observation on my part from reading this forum. Keep in mind I do not own / work with FCE but rather with FCP => DVDSP as well as with apple's i-Apps.

  • Will Compressor 4 recognize chapter markers from FCPX?

    With the latest updates to FCPX, I am now considering giving it a try. There is one more function that is critical for my work, and I can't find and answer for it. If I make chapter markers on the timeline in FCPX, then use Compressor 4 to compress it to .m2v files for DVD, do the chapter markers carry through, like they do with FCP7 and Compressor 3.5?

    Currently, markers don't get transfered from FCPX to Compressor. Hopefully that will get fixed in a future update.
    While we're waiting for that to happen, you can use this app to convert markers from a FCPX xml file to a .txt file that you can import into compressor. It's not the easiest solution, but it works.

  • Retaining Chapter markers from iMovie thru compressor

    Hello folks. I want to thank anyone for their responses to this post. I have figured out that exporting an iMovie 6 project as a DV clip to compressor is the best way to bring a project into DVD Studio Pro 4. However, I make chapter markers in all my movie projects and I cannot figure out how to retain that information through export from iMovie - to m2v file from compressor and into DVD Studio Pro 4.
    What gives? Any Help?

    Hi:
    After serching a little in iMovie forum I found this thread that could be helpful:

  • Chapter Markers from Premiere Pro

    If I put chapter markers in a Pr sequence then use the Dynamic Link to bring the sequence to Encore where I could link to the chapter markers.
    Is it possible to Export -> Media and create a MPEG2-Blu-ray or MPEG2-DVD and import those files into Encore and have those Pr chapter markers available in Encore?

    So the "bad" mpeg sidecar files are from PR CC?
    Can you create a short (2 minutes) sample file with 3 or 4 encore markers, and test it for this error? If you can confirm the error, then upload so I can take a look at the files.
    Do you still have PR CS6 installed at present? If so, can you also export the same short file from PR CS6?

  • 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,
    Larry

    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!

  • Chapter Markers from Compressor to Studio Pro

    I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get the chapter Markers imported to Studio Pro when I compress my work in Compressor. I realize that they can be added after the fact in the Sudio Pro Timeline but it is a cumbersome process. My prefernce is to stay away from Qiucktime for Exporting as I have had better succes with Compressor. Any experts with Ideas?

    Some ideas from a no-expert.
    Did you exported your movie from FCP with Chapter Markers? File > Export > QuickTime Movie and select Markers > DVD Studio Pro Markers
    If you did, you'll see the markers in Compressor preview. Those Markers must be in your final MPEG2 encoded video and DVDSP must see them.
    Post your workflow if that don't that way for you.
