Add Track Markers

[sam_Focused]

Hi

I have a 4 min movie - I want to add markers at 2 & 3 mins. So once plugged into my Sony Bravia TV I can skip to those points. Any idea how I could get this to work?

Version 13.1.5

Thanks

Sam

Premiere builds out movies only that don't have chapter markers that you can shortcut to in the final movie.

Ahh Ok, do you know of any software that would add chapter markers?

[RobShultz]

If you have a DVD player any DVD software can do this for you.

I agree with Rob. Those disc (BD etc.) programs allow for chapters and a menu that lets you use your remote control to jump to various chapers. In your case (probaby usb to a TV ? ) I would make the chapters different exports, numbered sequentially so they are next to each other on your usb folder listing. Then just go to next 'movie' ( chapter ). Don't know if that is cool for you but better than nothin maybe

areyou on the mac or the pc?  On the mac you can author a dvd or a blu-ray with markers and use the built in dvd player and it's interface to jump to markers.  With blu-ray (for HD material) you'd have install a 3rd party blu-ray playing software...  (I think).  I'm sure there are equivalents on the pc.

You could make individual quicktimes for each section and setup a playlist in something like VLC (which is available for macs and pcs)

There are keyboard shortcuts I think to jump to the next video in the playlist.

and there are also software solutions for playing series of videos.  Do some googling for slideshow software.

microsoft powerpoint can do it.  Haven't had to set it up in powerpoint for years. It used to be difficult with certain video formats.

I'm on both PC and Mac. I've purchased HD Movie Maker (PC) as one review said it did what i needed, but I'm finding the same problem with video formats - I don't seem to be able to find one that will mark a 4k track and then render it in the same quality that I get out of Premier. I'm missing something really basic, surely Adobe has something in this suite that can produce track markers on a damn movie.

I've ended up testing out a couple of options which I'm kind of getting results.

1. google chromecast 

2. Apple TV 

Loading rhe videos onto my android tablet, and onto my iPhone. Both options allow me to control the casting of.chapters to the TV.

I should have mentioned previously that this is to aid me in a visual presentation of a portfolio. It works Ok using the method above but I'm still missing something. I still want to be able to give a menu that will enable both me and my customer to use. If I give them a memory stick I would like them to be able to see the categories in the presentation
