No text or picture Add-ons were added yet. How sad!
Now there are all sorts of information you might want or need to include with your video and for that, we will visit the Metadata panel, click up here. And as you can see, you can add a title, an author, copyright information, etcetera, or expand this window to see that there is just a tremendously long list of potential Metadata that you can embed into your movie clip. But in the Metadata pane, there are some other important things I want to point out, for example markers.
Markers can be use for a lot of things like chapter navigations, scripting, etcetera, and they are very easy to work with here on Encoder. Setting a marker is as simple as identifying a keypoint in your video, for example where the opening title ends and our actual movie starts and clicking Add. The current time will be inserted. We can name our marker by typing in the value box here, whatever we like.
And as we build up markers across our timeline, we are actually creating a very useful map that, for example you might want to apply to several different resolutions of the same movie. So it can be very, very useful to export any work that you have done in markers. To save a file out that contains marker data that you can then re-import. Also you can import those markers by just clicking on this button here.
I am going to choose a pre-made marker document that I have created here, Commercial Chapter Names, click Open and you will see that a whole bunch of markers have now been added to our timeline. Now one useful thing that we can do with markers is use them to generate thumbnails that we can use for later navigation. We have got a little thumbnails column of switches here that you can activate individually if you like or click on the thumbnails switch up at the top which turns on thumbnails for all of your markers.
