Sharing markers with After Effects, Encore, and Flash
You can share markers between Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore, and Adobe Flash in any of the following ways.
•
When you import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, After Effects converts the sequence markers to
composition markers.
•
When you copy a sequence from a Premiere Pro Project panel and paste it into After Effects, the resulting
composition keeps the sequence markers as composition markers, and the clip markers as layer markers. The copy-
and-paste operation therefore preserves the markers in the way you would expect.
•
When you export a sequence from Premiere Pro through Adobe Media Encoder into a container format, such as
AVI, the sequence markers are saved into the file as XMP temporal metadata. When you use the video file as the
source for a layer, After Effects converts these sequence markers to layer markers.
•
When you create an After Effects composition through Dynamic Link in Premiere Pro, After Effects does not
preserve the sequence markers and clip markers.
•
Encore chapter markers added to a sequence in Premiere Pro will appear as chapter markers in Encore when the
host clip is exported from Premiere Pro using the File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send To Encore command.
•
Sequence markers in clips exported from Premiere Pro appear as cue points in Adobe Flash projects if they contain
text in their Chapter fields. The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Premiere Pro will be
encoded as XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.
Note: You must add text to a chapter marker in Adobe Premiere Pro for that chapter marker to appear as a cue point
in Adobe Flash projects.

Add Encore chapter markers
You can add Encore chapter markers to any sequence in Premiere Pro. Encore reads these markers as chapter points
when you export the sequence to Encore using File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Send To Encore. In Encore, you can link
chapter points to buttons in menus. Also, viewers can use the chapter advance buttons on their DVD remote controls
to navigate through chapter points.
Premiere Pro automatically places an Encore chapter marker, labeled Chapter 1, at the beginning of each sequence you
create. You can rename this chapter marker in Encore.
You can name Encore markers as you place them. The name you enter in Premiere Pro appears as the label for a button
in the main menu or scenes menu in Adobe Encore.
Note: Encore no longer imports Premiere Pro sequence markers as chapter points. For projects created with earlier
versions of Premiere Pro, you must replace sequence markers with Encore markers if you want to retain those chapter
points in discs made from the project.

In a Timeline panel, move the current-time indicator
to the location where you want to set the marker.
Note: In Encore the Play button on each main menu template automatically links to the start point of the time ruler. You
need not place a marker there unless you want it listed in the scenes menu.
