i was wondering if there was anyone available to help me figure out how to add chapter markers in fcpx. All i can see in the Markers tab is create a marker, but it does not give me an option to say what it is for, i am new to final cut pro, and was watching some youtube tutorials on the previous version of fcp, thanks for you help
Final Cut Pro X-OTHER, Other OS
You can't in the new one.
The ones you found are all there is at the moment.
Here's more on markers:

You can still add them in Compressor. I know they should be there in FCPX but, theres your answer for the moment.
The Preview window in Compressor is a great interface , I agree. Why can't you see that, Mr Kahuna? Do a first cut in FCP X then finesse it in Compressor's 10cm wide Preview window. Man you guys are so slow.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! How disapointing...
Disappointing. But it's so apt. Sarcasm is the only valid response to FCS3's "bury it by sunset - at sea, to hide the bruises" departure.
*snicker*
"The future of editing: buy from our competitors. We guarantee you'll love it."
Actually if you're quoting Wilde, there was an end to that sentence: "...but the highest form of intelligence." I don't claim that, of course. That's for Steve and Randy to fight over.

I guess I got you wrong. You win... 😢

Oi! Don't blame US! WE didn't start it!
Apple did by releasing this app.
You cannot create chapter markers in Final Cut Pro X. You have to buy another piece of software, Compressor 4, to add chapter markers to content you first export out of FCPX. But you will not see chapter markers inside FCPX. Unless Apple changes its mind and adds it back in.
Why? It makes no sense. Other than Apple wants you to spend more money on more software, for clunky, downgraded functionality at best, which used to work just fine in the previous version.

I tried it with Compressor 4. And it also fails. The output of Compressor had no chapters. 😟
Apple already produced the same crap at iMovie'08 (the successor of iMovieHD) release. iMovie'08 had also no chapter marker function.
I hope we must not wait for FCP XI until this standard function is available in FCPX.
I completely can not understand Apple having Chapter Markers missing at release of FCPX. I am thinking about changing to Premiere Pro.
Let's hope this comes with the next update.
how do you do it in Complresser 4? i am really new to the 'pro' software, i just bought everything yesterday, and so i transfered all my stuff from iMovie to FCPX with out a problem.
I am thinking about changing to Premiere Pro.
make my day!
i figured it out, in text edit do the fallowing
00:00:00:00 Midnight Sky
00:00:10:45 On the Train
00:00:23:04 etc....
thats the timing for the markers to show up, you then save it as 'whatever.txt'
then in Compresser 4 you click on the marker button on the bottom right side under the video preview scree, and click on 'insert chapter list...', then navigate to the destination file, and then you should see markers on the timeline
how i got it to work after i was done saving, was saving it as the original file type,
for me it was 720 HD Video Sharing, and in Finder it recognized the chapter markers, as well as in iDVD
Allright... but how to make it work out within FCPX? When I'm workin on footage about 2-3 hours long it's convinient for me to make it while editing materiał... I'm just saving time and it would be nice to have this ability right on fingertips.
how do you add Chapter Markers in Final Cut Pro X
