Compressor question

[Jeremy Garchow]

You can add chapter markers to your sequence which will then translate into DVD studio pro automatically. When you find a point you want to make a chapter hit mm (m twice) and a dialog box will pop up, click the add chapter marker button and away you go. When you export to compressor, it will save those chapter makers.

Hey Jeremy,

I know about that, but my project is already built with 7 tracks, so my original question about exporting ins and outs from FCP in Compressor is still unanswered.

Chris,

Sure, you can mark an in & out and only that portion of your timeline will be exported via Compressor. There is no compelling reason to put each segment on its own timeline as a separate sequence.

” If I have a sequenct say around 15 minutes, and it is diveded up into 6 chapters, can I use in and out markers to render each chapter through Compressor, or do I have to make each chapter it’s own sequence?

Hey Chris,
What are you actually trying to do?
If this for DVDSP, this is the wrong forum.
Seems that you should be using “Stories” in DVDSP to simply your project. If as you post, your project is 15 mins, why use 7 tracks? With Stories you can encode the whole sequence in Compressor, and use your Chapter markers to define the Stories. Navigation will be a whole lot quicker and smoother.
It’s all in the manual.
Cheers
