A chapter marker provides a way to convey viewing milestones within the timeline of a player. It allows the segmentation of long videos into discrete segments.
You will need to create a .vtt file for each video to which you would like to add chapters.
How to Create a .vtt file
Use the following steps to create a .vtt file:
In a text editor, create a new file.
Add information for cue timings and chapter titles. Cue identifiers are optional.
WEBVTT Chapter 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:01:42.000 Opening credits Chapter 2 00:01:42.000 --> 00:04:44.000 A dangerous quest Chapter 3 00:04:44.000 --> 00:05:50.000 The attack
Attribute | Description |
Cue timings | (Required) Specifies the time zone for the cue |
Chapter title | (Required) The title you want to display for the chapter. |
Cue identifier | (Optional) Used to identify the actual cue point |
Save the file. A .vtt file should always be saved in UTF8 encoding to prevent character issues.
Once you have your .vtt file, you will find this feature on the left-side tab of each individual video in the Odeum Dashboard.
