Hi all,

I've created my video using PD Ver 10 64 bit, and added 18 chapters in the timeline. I then rendered (i.e. created a .MPG file using MPEG2) the project. When I did it the first time, the chapters all came up and all was good. I then went back to my project and made a change, re-rendered the file and alas, no chapters except for the default one at the start. I went back and added a few more chapters, re-rendered, and again, no joy.

I'm at a loss here. I don't want to have to redo my chapter markers in the project and I don't know if that will make a difference. Has anyone else had this issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Below are my system specs.

- Quad core Q6600 with 6 GIG ram
- Windows 7 home 64bit
- Nvidia Video card 1GIG RAM
- Plenty of disk space (750Gig 7200RPM)

Thanks,

Karl

Did you Save the project file?

The project file records all of you actions when edit or add stuff.
You re-load the project file and all of your previous actions are there.

Chapters are never found in a Produced video.

Chapters are only in a Disk folder or on a DVD or Blu-Rau Video disk. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Hi Carl312,

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I did. I just re-rendered it again and this time they are there! (Yay!) However, the default title/chapter is not showing the thumbnail that I wanted. I renamed the default chapter to what I wanted and moved the scrubber to the part where I wanted that frame to be viewed as the thumbnail shot on the menu. It is correct in the "Scenes" section of the menu structure, but the one on the main page is not what I wanted.

Any ideas???

Thanks,

Karl

You must to making a Disk folder or burning a Disk or you are looking at the preview in the Create Disk Module.

That is the only place where there is a Menu and Chapters.

There are no chapters or menu in a "Produced" Video.

There is a menu and Chapters in the Create Disk module. Which is what you do to burn a Disk.

If it worked, then you did right.
