  Chapter Markers?

  Posted by Greg Ball on November 22, 2019 at 4:52 pm

  Hi All

  Happy Friday! I have a series of 25 90-minute videos edited in FCPX. The client is asking for DVDs to be authored. Each DVD will have about 20-30 chapters.

  They’ve indicated where each chapter will be using time codes.

  I’m having an outside author these DVDs. They use Encore for authoring. (They edit on Premier)

  My question is If I add Chapter markers in FCPX and export ProRes 422 files, will these markers work within Encore? Is FCPX compatible with Encore?

  Thanks.

  I do believe if you export a QT using Compressor with chapter markers intact, that will transfer over if imported into Premiere.
  But that was years ago so of late I have no idea.
  I can check in the next few hours.

  I never made it work in Encore but I might have been doing something wrong!

  Would an XML file of the edit carry over the markers?

  I found some time to test this with recent software.
  From FCPX 10.4.3 to QT/FCPXML (used Xto7) then Premiere Pro CC2019, I can see the markers.
  I then tried ProRes/MPG to Encore and nothing works.
  I am not sure when they broke this but I was able to do this in the past.
  Its been so long since I’ve done any media with Chapter Markers.
