Marker Pop-Up Menu
Use the Marker pop-up menu to manage the clip’s markers. While you can use markers
with all settings, they actually affect only the output file when the setting uses the MPEG-1,
MPEG-2, MPEG-4 when configured for podcasting, H.264 for Apple Devices, or QuickTime
Movie output file format. See
Working with Markers and Poster Frames
for more
information.
Choose items from the Marker pop-up menu to add, remove, show, hide, and edit markers
and poster frames.
• Import Chapter List: Opens a file import dialog that allows you to import a file containing
a list of chapter marker times for the source media file. See
