Use markers and poster frames
Markers and poster frames overview
Compressor can import and create several different kinds of markers. In addition, Compressor can
import entire lists of chapter markers. Compressor also supports setting a poster frame for a clip.
Compressor can import and create the following types of markers:
•
Chapter markers: Chapter markers allow easy access to index points throughout a DVD,
QuickTime movie, or video podcast. QuickTime Player can interpret any text track containing
time stamps as a chapter track. Chapter markers can also have artwork and a URL assigned to
them that appear when a podcast is played.
These markers appear as purple in the Preview window timeline and are the type created
when you manually add markers using Compressor.
•
Podcast markers: Like chapter markers, podcast markers can have artwork and a URL assigned
to them. However, podcast markers cannot be used to access frames within the clip, and they
don’t appear as chapter markers in QuickTime.
You can use podcast markers to provide a slideshow (with URLs) for users to view when
playing audio podcasts.
These markers appear as red in the Preview window timeline.
