Import Chapters from MP4 Files

It would seem that this is a long time deficiency with Adobe Premiere / After Effects / Audition, that they have ignored chapters from imported MP4 Files. 

Now with OBS Studio bringing in adding chapters with their new Hybrid MP4 output format, this has become untenable - and is yet another thing that Davinci Resolve just natively supports.

 

This needs to be added ASAP, as it will be a feature that many many streamers and content creators will want to use immediately, and will be anothe incentive to just jump ship.

Someone just made a free extention that takes obs chapter markers from and adds them in premiere pro: https://www.reddit.com/r/premiere/comments/1o2wrgg/problem_solved_chapter_marker_in_obs_not_working/

It is mind boggeling to me that this is nto supported in Adobe as its going to be life saver for me with OBS. Guess I need to learn Resolve...

I, too, would like to thank Adobe for taking so long to add a feature that their biggest competitor has had for some time now. This forces everyone off their crummy platform and onto much better and greener pastures. Thanks, team! Doing a bang-up job!

I'd like to thank Adobe for recognising this as an obvious missing feature, and endeavouring to bring it promptly to a future update.

 

Sorry I mistyped that. What I meant to say was that 10 months on they still haven't even acknnoweldged this deviciency, let alone promised to bring the functionality to Premiere.

Adobe needs to add this, chapters for recording is one of the best tools for organization. As an editor this helps time management like crazy. Please add this Adobe.

I'm surprised this feature wasn't available yet.

I work as a freelance video editor for a group of streamers and I get sent timestamps by them to get turned into shorts. Being able to use the Chapter Marker feature would save so much time and is very benefitial in funny moments where they can't tab out to send me the timestamp. Adobe, get on this!

This would be a hugely impactful to content creators. The ability for Premier Pro to show chapter markers (from OBS) would greatly accelerate my editing process. I plan to use my elgato products to add chapter markers when I change scenes, when clip commands are run, etc!
