Setting Chapters

CyberLink PowerProducer lets you set chapters for your movie production. Just like in most commercial discs, setting chapters lets viewers perform scene selections from the menu page, in order to skip previous content.

To set chapters automatically, do this:

  1. Select the video clip on the Content window that you want to add chapters to and then click

  2. Set the chapters in one of the following ways:
    • If you want your video to have a specific number of chapters, select the

    • If you want CyberLink PowerProducer to set chapters by detecting the change of scenes, select the
      Set chapters by scene detection       option.
