Importing and exporting chapters from a text file
You can import and export your chapters list from a simple text file. The text file should be formatted with
one chapter entry per line. No header information is required. DoStudio Authoring will determine the frame
rate from the video segment setting. The chapters should be formatted in non-drop format: HH:MM:SS:FF
starting at 00:00:00:00.
Your text file should look like this:
00:00:00:00
00:03:10:12
00:14:03:06
00:20:06:00
Right-click the Chapters icon and choose Import Chapters from Text File. Your chapters will be named
Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and so on. You can rename the chapters in the Control Panel after you have imported
them.
To export your chapter list, simply right-click the Chapters icon for the Path Item and choose Export
Chapters to Text File. This will create a .txt file.
