How to export MP4-video with chapter marks for jumping in VLC-Player?

[hh98806336]

Hello,

I am working with Premiere Elements 2018 - now I want to export my project with the allready inserted scene marks to a MP4-File.

Is there any option to get the existing scene marks as chapter marks in MP4-Export-File so that i can easily jump between chapters in VLC-Player?

Thanx for any feedback!

This is not possible in Premiere Elements. Scene markers are solely a function of DVD authoring.

I don't see chapter capability anywhere.   The only "work-around" I see on YouTube (or anywhere else) is an opening screen with time markers.

Thank you for the information.

Does anybody know if this feature will be added in next versions of Adobe Premiere Elements. This would be really usefull!

[Bill Sprague]

My understanding is that it is not within the MP-4 standards.  No software can do it.  Chapters were part of the (ancient) DVD standards and newer Blu-Ray standards.

Handbrake seem to be able to add markers.

Ann,

That would be useful.  So, I tried to figure it out.  The documentation suggests it can import chapter markers that already exist in the source, but can't make new markers. 

From the Handbrake documentation:   "HandBrake can copy chapter markers from your source...." and "Unfortunately, HandBrake can not currently add chapter markers if they did not already exist in the source."

I located the "import" tab for chapter markers but saw no "creation" tab.

Thank you all for checking out.

I have now found out that chapter marks can be added with XMedia Recode Software to MP4-File. This works now for me.

XMedia Recode is new to me.  I will check it out.

I would not expect this feature in any future version of the program, hh.
