Adding Chapter, Compression, and Scoring Markers
Chapter, compression, and scoring markers can be used by external applications such
as Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, iDVD, Soundtrack, and QuickTime Player. The Edit
Marker dialog lets you specify a marker as chapter, compression, or scoring. To add a
chapter, compression, or scoring marker to a sequence, follow the instructions above in
“
Adding Markers Along With Detailed Information About Them ” on page 241.
Important: Since the chapter, compression, and scoring markers are only used for
sequences, when you export, make sure that these markers have been added to the
sequence itself in the Canvas or in the Timeline ruler, and not to individual clips.
