Help with automatic chapter creation

[eeep]

I understand that the automatically generated chapters will only go to 99 chapters. This is ok because of how quick the chapters are generated and I can delete/remove the error chapters created in lighting changes of the same video taping.

 

The thing that I can't figure out is when I do reduce the error chapters and continue on with the auto feature to finish the video, the new set of chapters start with a new time stamp and thus get out of order. I have also noticed the new chapter removing the old after the scroll bar moves down past the first page.

I have indicated that I wanted to keep the existing chapters when restarting the auto thing.

 

What am I missing to be able to use the quickness of the auto feature, work with the limitations of the 99 chapters at a time (because of lighting or color changes) and have everything remain in sequential order?

 

Thanks for your help.

They should remain in order according to the TIME order in the video. You can adjust the sensitivity slider to get fewer recognized chapters.

 

I just did a chapter update and it worked as expected. I had a chapter mark at 4min 33sec and a mark at 12min. I then re-edited the chapter marks and inserted one at 7min. and it was placed between the other two correctly.

 

Personally, I hardly ever use auto-detect. I will place chapter marks like every 5min for really long videos or I will place markers manually where something of interest begins.
