It's a little weird when you get into this area..... One of the best ways to make Chapter Tracks in a Quicktime movie is to set cuePoints in an audio or video editor then save the file. This puts a text track into the movie with all the start times for each chapter, but does not set them as chapter tracks. Then you can open the movie in Quicktime Pro and get movie properties and select the text track in the pulldown menu then select make Chapter tracks from the properties pulldown. It will want you do associate the new chapter tracks with either the video or audio tracks... choose either one and then save... BAM now the movie has chapter tracks. I've tried some of the Chapter Track editors out there, but they don't seem to create the desired results like the above method does.
Director works with chapter tracks using cuePoint statements. Director automatically reads the text track of the movie whether it's set to be chapters or not, and then allows you to navigate the chapters based on the cuePoints. iShell automatically shows chapter tracks as parameters in it's UI.
The cool thing about Chapter Tracks and cuePoints is that you can write scripts that are universal to any movie, allowing you to navigate forward and backwards and even stop without knowing exact times. Very handy and reusable. And way better than trying to read the text file into an array.... and then use them.
I'm new to Rev so i don't know much about callBacks... is there a good resource for this? do you think callbacks can be used in a similar manner????
any help would be great
take a look at this little stack:
