I have created chapter markers (not generic markers) in Premiere Pro CC, and given each of them names (not comments), which I have confirmed do show up as hover text in the PrP timeline. Now, when I've tried exporting a simple sequence with these chapter markers, as MPEG-2/DVD, the chapter markers do appear when I "import as timeline" in Encore CS6. However, when I export my entire project, which has nested sequences (not sure if that matters), the core clips of which have the chapter markers, ... I do not see my chapter markers in Encore. Is that a limitation? I mean, do chapter markers in PrP have to be set at the shallowest (least nested) level of the timeline of the export?
I've looked around the forums some, and what little I've found spans a few versions of Encore, with some complicating UI changes. One, on Encore CS4, advised to "make sure you have 'Include Source XMP data' selected," ... but I can't find any such option (in my newer software). The closest thing is the "metadata" button at the bottom of Adobe Media Encoder, which opens a panel with a drop-down menu (top left) for "export options" including "Create Sidecar File" or "embed in Output file" ... unfortunately, the latter is grayed out. I understand some format types may not allow xmp data to be embedded, but I thought MPEG-2/DVD allowed it. Regardless, the online tutorials I've found say that Encore CS6 is smart enough to go looking for the sidecar file with the xmp data (chapter markers). With that in mind, I made sure not to rename or move the .xmp file from what Adobe Media Encoder created.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
