Using Chapter Markers

Chapter markers, which allow you to navigate through a movie to certain

points, are a big part of the viewer interaction of DVDs. DVD Studio Pro

recognizes markers created in Final Cut Pro, Compressor, Final Cut Express,

Motion, and iMovie.

You can also create markers manually or import a text document to set chap-

ter markers for your track. In this exercise you will learn different ways to add

markers and then create a chapter index menu using the markers you set.

1 Click the Track tab in the lower quadrant (quadrant 3).
