Adding chapters to path items
Chapters are defined as a timecode start point within a path item. To add a chapter to a path item, expand
the Playlist tree to see the chapters icon. Right-click Chapters, and then click Add Chapter. A new chapter is
added to the path item.
Select the chapter to edit set its timecode value in the Control Panel. You must enter the timecode value for
the chapter start in the form hours:minutes:seconds:frames. The first chapter in a title will most likely have
the timecode value 00:00:00:00.
Each new chapter is named sequentially as Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and so on. You can, of course, rename a
chapter by typing a new name in the Name box in the Control Panel.
A path item can have up to 999 chapters. By default each path item has one chapter at timecode
00:00:00:00.
