Exporting QuickTime Movies with Markers
Final Cut Pro can export the following marker types for use in other Final Cut Studio
applications:
 Chapter markers: Chapter markers allow easy access to index points throughout a
DVD, QuickTime movie, or podcast. QuickTime Player can interpret any text track
containing time stamps as a chapter track. In some cases, the different kinds of
markers you export may be interpreted as chapters in QuickTime Player, even though
they are not really the same kind of chapter markers as used by Compressor and
DVD Studio Pro. Compressor and DVD Studio Pro can both read chapter markers
exported from Final Cut Pro.
 Compression markers: Also known as manual compression markers—these are
markers you can add to a sequence or clip to indicate when Compressor or
DVD Studio Pro should generate an MPEG I-frame during compression. For more
information, see the documentation included with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro.
 Edit/Cut markers: Also known as automatic compression markers, these markers are
automatically generated by Final Cut Pro at each cut or transition point in a
sequence. During compression, Compressor uses these markers to generate MPEG
I-frames at these points, improving compression quality.
Note: DVD Studio Pro ignores these markers because they can interfere with GOP
alignment for multi-angle DVD video. For more information, see the documentation
included with Compressor and DVD Studio Pro.
 Scoring markers: These markers are displayed in Soundtrack Pro to indicate
important cue points for music or sound effects.
