DVD Marker workaround
Curious if anybody has figured out a workaround for chapter markers when sending to compressor. I’d love to start taking advantage of the media management tools, but our DVD workflow relies on placing DVD chapter markers right before each clip (which was very easy in FCP 7 to be frame accurate).
So far the only solution I can think of is exporting to compressor, and then adding the markers manually before sending to DVD Studio Pro…
Unless you creative folk might have another idea 😉

You can set markers in the Compressor viewer or the DVDSP timeline.
Not as covenant, but it works.
You can also make a text file to import marker locations in DVD SP. It’s in the manual/help menu…not in front of a system now, or I would be more precise.

I guess I might be able to quickly jot down the timecode from the timeline index into a text doc… still would be quicker than trying to hunt for the exact moment.

I just created this app to convert markers from a FCPX xml file to a .txt file that you can import into compressor. It’s not ideal, but it should make the process easier until apple adds the functionality. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Would love to use this very useful app to allow me to move my FCPX markers into Compressor with less tedium.
Unfortunately, my 2011 MacBook-Pro i5 running Snow Leopard v10.6.8 complains “classic environment needed for this application is not supported…” or words to that effect. Have not seen anyone else online with this problem so I will try to troubleshoot the issue with my laptop. Mentioning it here just in case one other person is having this “Classic Environment” problem too.
