  • Easiest way to add a chapter marker every 5 minutes to sequence?

    Posted by Sebastian Knight on March 10, 2006 at 9:47 pm

    I want to create a chapter marker every 5 minutes in my sequence, what is the easiest way to do this? I don’t want to use DVD Studio Pro.

    As always thank in advance for reading and replying to my post,

    Sebastian

    Make your first mark, then type “+500.” and then enter and hit “mm” to make a marker and bring up the marker dialogue. Make the appropriate choices in the marker dialogue, and repeat.

    You don’t need to use the quotes. Just type exactly what’s within the quotes.

    lateral approach:

    burn your DVD in toast.

    that has a “chapter every 5 minutes” preset

    from FCP export a QuickTime movie.
    current settings, doesn’t need to be self contained if you are not moving between systems.

    in Toast (this is V6 i have)

    open toast.
    click on the VIDEO tab at the top
    if you get the camera icon (for capturing video) click on it so the area goes blue,
    hit delete (there’s probably another way, but that works for me)

    drag your QTMovie in

    just above the video icon, click where it says DVD-Video or Video CD, or whatever,
    a settings window opens on the right.

    choose DVD-Video,
    NTSC or PAL,
    high or standard.

    double click on the video icon itself in the main window
    another window opens.
    click on the “Video” button
    there will be a “DVD Chapters” pulldown
    choose “Every 5 minutes” in there.

    you can choose which part of the file you want in the DVD,
    you can add other files, and edit them, too

    toast is a really simple way to make DVDs

    cheers,
    nick
