Set the chapter marker thumbnail image
After you set a chapter marker, you can choose an appropriate video frame to represent
that particular chapter.
1. In Final Cut Pro, click the chapter marker once in the timeline to select it.
The marker enlarges slightly to show that it’s selected, and a chapter marker thumbnail
pin appears to the right of the selected chapter marker. By default, the chapter marker
thumbnail pin appears 11 frames after the chapter marker.
2. To set the video frame for the chapter marker thumbnail image, drag the pin left or right
in the timeline.
As you drag, the viewer displays the corresponding video frame.
Note: The chapter marker thumbnail image is the composited image from that location
in the timeline and includes titles and any other superimposed imagery.
If the chapter marker is in the primary storyline, you can drag the chapter marker
thumbnail pin as far as the beginning or the end of the primary storyline. If the chapter
marker is in a connected storyline, you can drag the chapter marker thumbnail pin as far
as the beginning or the end of the connected storyline.
