Add Encore chapter markers

You can add DVD chapter markers to any sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro that will be read as chapter points when you export that sequence to Encore. In Encore, you can link chapter points to buttons in menus, or viewers can use the chapter advance buttons on their DVD remote controls to navigate through them.

You can name Encore markers as you place them. The name you enter in Adobe Premiere Pro appears as the label for a button in the main menu or scenes menu in Adobe Encore.

  1. In the Timeline panel, move the current‑time indicator  to the location where you want to set the marker.
    Note: In Encore the Play button on each main menu template automatically links to the start point of the time ruler. You need not place a marker there unless you want it listed in the scenes menu.
  2. Click the Set Encore Chapter Marker button .
    To quickly place a marker, you can right‑click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the time ruler and choose the type of marker you want to set at the current-time indicator.
  3. Type a name for the marker. Keep the name short so that it fits in the menu and doesn’t overlap another button. (You can adjust the name later, in Encore.)
  4. Click OK. Adobe Premiere Pro adds the marker to the Timeline panel.
