How do you add chapter markers in Final Cut Pro X? Thanks

Trying to add chapter markers in FCP X so when I share with iDVD I can create scene selections. iDVD only allows you to create scene selections by specific time intervals unless chapter markers exist already in the movie you are sharing from the editor. I know how to add chapter markers from iMovie but am having a heck of a time figuring out how to do it in FCP X. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

At present, you cannot add chapter markers in FCP X.

If you send the project to Compressor, you can add chapter markers there.


You can add the chapter markers in Compressor manually, or if you create a text file listing the exact timecode positions (from FCP X storyline) where you want the chapter markers to be (each on a new line) Compressor will automatically insert the markers when you point it to the text file.
