DVDAuthorGUI: CreateChapters

Creating Chapters

You may want to create chapters for a longer film so that viewers can skip forward and back to certain parts of the film without having to scrub fastforward throught the whole film. Also if your film is episodic, by creating chapters you can link to different parts of the film from the menu.

 To add chapter first select the Video title you want to add the chapter to in the main menu.

dvd_gui_ch_0

 Then click on the add chapters button

dvd_gui_ch_3

The Chapters window then appears

dvd_gui_ch_1

If you know the times that you want the chapters to appear in your video file, perhaps you have made a note of them when playing it in VLC,  you can enter them directly by clicking in the main white window and altering  the time. The next still shows a chapter time of 1 minute 30 seconds.

If this manual method doesn't suit you then you can set the times of the chapters using the visual editor.

In the chapters window press the visual editor button dvd_gui_ch_5
