selection button until the clip you want appears in the pop-up menu.

A file-selection dialog opens so that you can locate and select the chapter marker file for that
source media file.
3 Select the chapter marker file and click Open.
The markers are imported and added to the Preview window timeline.
Note: Although all markers imported by using a chapter marker list are configured as chapter
markers, you can change them to podcast or compression markers. You can also add URLs and
artwork to them as needed.
Important: The timecode values in the list must be based on the source media file’s timecode.
Add compression or podcast markers
To manually add a compression or podcast marker to a clip, you first add a chapter marker and
then you edit the marker.
Note: A podcast can have both chapter and podcast markers. The only difference is that the
viewer can navigate directly to a chapter marker but cannot navigate to a podcast marker. For
more information, see
Markers and poster frames overview on page 46.
