Chapter Markers Where I Want Them

[musikman]

I am editing my video in Final Cut Pro and have a number of chapter markers set where I want them. I use Compressor to create a .264 file for Blu-Ray. When I bring the file into the Content Area and select edit, my only options for CHapters are NONE, AUTOMATIC, EVERY 1 MINUTE, 2 MINUTE etc.

None of these options are acceptable. Does anyone know how I can preserve the chapters in my video when I TOAST the Disc?

I think Automatic chapters should respect the chapter markers from the source file. That is what the User Guide says...

While I don't use FCP, I do use iMovie. My guess is that Toast will treat chapter markers the same regardless of which app was used to create them. At any rate, when I drag the imovie file into Toast and create a disc image, the chapter markers do show up. HOWEVER, the text that was used in FCP for the titles to the chapter markers does not show up. This is due to differences between iMovie and toast.

 

So if you create 5 chapter markers in FCP and create a disc image in toast, they should be there, but w/o the titles. There should be an image (total of five in this example) for each chapters marker.

 

Hope this helps.
