  • Possible to back up chapter points?

    Posted by Kell Smith on February 3, 2018 at 11:55 pm

    I have a two hour timeline with 99 chapters. Is it possible to export these chapter markers to back up, in case something would happen and it would be necessary to recreate the project? I’m doing a lot of “replace asset” with each draft and am just wanting to be extra careful with backups.
    Thank you

    I think the answer is no.

    I’ll also note that doing lots of “replace” anything (or any changes) with Encore often results in problems, so your caution is wise.

    A “save as” may your best insurance, to keep a copy you can go back to, but that provides little more than making a manual list of the markers.

    Thanks. Yeah I thought so. I will do that. A manual backup of the markers would be fine as the rest of the DVD wouldn’t be that hard to rebuild. But the markers would take a long time to redo.

    Is there any Mac replacement comparable to Encore that you know of? If only they would bring back support for this program. DVDs may be on the way out but a lot of people still request having them done.

    Basic functions like being able to import a chapter list from a text file or back up your markers would go a long way.
