4. Click the Add Marker button (or press M).
The inspector is updated to show the Marker inspector.
5. In the Marker inspector, enter a name for the marker.
6. Click the Image pop-up menu, then choose Frame or File to assign a preview image
associated with the chapter marker.
Important: Chapter markers must have an image associated with them (and not a black
frame) to be compliant with iTunes Store submission requirements.
7. Repeat steps 2–5 to add additional chapter markers as required.
For more information about chapter markers, see Add markers using Compressor.
Build an iTunes Store package
After your package is properly loaded and configured, you can build the package.
• In the Compressor batch area, click the Start Batch button.
Compressor transcodes all the files, combining them into a single package file (saved in
the location specified in the iTunes Store Package inspector).
Important: Compressor can’t directly submit the package to the iTunes Store. See
About submitting to the iTunes Store in Compressor.
Correct or augment an iTunes Store package
You can add or update components in a completed iTunes Store package using
Compressor. For example, if you want to add another subtitle file to a completed package,
you can append the new file to the package. As long as the data in the package properties
matches that in the original package, Compressor automatically combines the items and
ensures that the package is correctly configured and ready for uploading.
1. In Compressor, choose File > New iTunes Store Package.
An iTunes Store package is added to the batch area.
2. In the batch area, click the top bar of the iTunes Store Package item.
3. In the iTunes Store Package inspector (if the inspector is not visible, click the Inspector
button
),
enter a name and set the package properties to precisely match the values
in the package you want to augment or change.
4. In the batch area, add the new or modified subtitle files, closed-caption files, or
alternate audio files.
Note: If you create a package with no feature video, the preview area displays a missing
media warning. Because you’re deliberately generating a package without video, this is
not an error, so you can safely ignore this warning.
5. In the iTunes Store Package inspector, click Choose, then select the same location
where the original package was saved.
