    Can anyone help me in pointing me to a tutorial or showing me how to embed tags into footage in FCP, please?
    Can it be done, at all, should also be a question, I suppose?

    Many thanks

    Are you referring to markers? That would seem to be similar to what you’re asking about as far as imbedded tags are concerned. Markers will imbed verious types of information into both the video and audio tracks depending on how you want to use them. There is a Mark menu up at the top that contains several functions.

    Don, thank you for your reply. I smacked myself about the head a couple of times last night about what you noted.

    I’m also looking for something inside FCP to embed, say, a hyperlink and a graphic (that I can cobble together in Motion) so that it looks like one of those annoying ads you get on the TV popping up from the bottom of the screen. If the user clicks on it, it will send them to a webpage in their browser or ideally, I wonder if Quicktime supports browsing in the app itself?

    Many thanks in anticipation,

    Lawrence Eaton

    That I wouldn’t know, as I’ve never had the need to do it myself. Perhaps you should start another post and entitle it: imbedding a usable hyperlink in FCP. I’m pretty sure this works in DVD Studio Pro, though. I think it’s called DVD @ccess. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
