I would like to create a mp4 output file from Premiere Pro CS5.5 and would like to include chapter points so that I can skip forward through the video. I have tried all kinds of variations and none of them have worked. I know that mp4 supports this because if I use handbrake to create an mp4 output it creates chapter points. I have tried the following
1. Create sequence points, name them and add a comment. There was some discussion that if you don't name the sequence point it will not be exported.
2. Exported mp4, quicktime (mov), AVI and FLV files and played in quicktime and VideoLan both players support chapter points/markers but none of the sequence markers I marked in PPro were exported in any of the file formats I tried.
3. Added encore chapter markers and tried step 2 again - still not chapter points
4. Created a flash cue point and added both events and navigation points and tried step 2 - still no chapter points
I notice the message at the bottom of the marker dialog box that says "Marker Options will only work with compatible output types". What are they compatible output types? I have scoured the web looking for information and I see there are third pary tools like simplemovieX that will do it as described at http://ask.metafilter.com/83737/How-to-add-chapter-marks-to-an-MP4-fil e
Can I do this with Premiere Pro or do I need to use a third party tool?
