Add/Edit chapters
This feature is only available when the
Create menus
option is selected. By doing so, you can create
submenus linked to their associated video clip at the
Setup Menu
step later.
Represented as a video thumbnail in a submenu, each chapter is like a bookmark for a video clip.
Viewers can easily select a chapter then the video clip will immediately jump to the first scene of
that chapter and start the playback. This feature is particularly useful when you want to attract your
viewers by giving them the freedom to choose a particular part of the movie to watch. Note that
these small video thumbnails only link to its “mother” video without generating any additional
physical video files. So, you don’t need to worry about the possibility of unexpected file size increase.
