Relative Chapter/Cue Points?

Post by edrizz »

When I add chapter and Cue points to a project, say for example at the beginning of a specific clip in the middle of the project, just as soon as I delete or add another clip anywhere in the timeline before that clip, the chapter and Cue points become obsolete as they do not move with the clip that they were assigned to and now mark some unintended place within the project. Everytime this happens, I have to go in and manually move all chapter/Cue points. Is there any way to set chapter and Cue points be be relative within a clip, thus allowing them to move automatically and not need to be manually reset everytime clips are added to or deleted from the project?

I believe chapter points are strictly time based, ie. they apply to a specific time on the timeline and are not "tied" to any clip.
That is one of the reasons why it is almost pointless to set chapter points until your project is ready for final output. I always set my chapter points (which I seldom bother with) when I am ready to burn.

Of course I may be wrong in my assumption but that is they way they seem to behave anyway.
