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 Pro, 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 in
“Adding Markers
with Detailed Information.”
Important: Chapter, compression, and scoring markers are used only for sequences. When
you export a QuickTime movie, 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.
Deleting Markers in Clips and Sequences
You can delete markers at any time. Once they are deleted, they no longer appear in the
Browser, Viewer, Canvas, or Timeline. You can also keep a marker while removing chapter,
compression, or scoring annotations.
