Chapters (Block sidebar)

Chapters allow you to break your video into labeled sections, much like YouTube chapters. This helps viewers navigate long videos and jump straight to the parts they find most interesting.

To manage your video markers, select the FluentPlayer block and open the Chapters panel in the Block tab.

Adding a Chapter

Click the + Add Chapter button to create a new chapter. A popup window will appear where you can set up the chapter details.

• Start Time: Enter the exact time (Hours, Minutes, and Seconds) where the new chapter should begin.
• Chapter Title: Add a clear and descriptive name for the chapter (e.g., "Introduction" or "Introduction").
• Video Preview: Use the preview player to move through the video and make sure your selected time is correct.

After completing all the fields, click Add Chapter to save your changes.

Managing Your Chapters

Once you have added chapters, they will appear in a list within the Chapters panel. From here, you can easily organize your video's structure:

• Edit: Click the Edit button on any chapter to modify its title or start time.
• Remove: Use the Trash/Delete icon to remove a chapter from the list.
• Time Display: The panel clearly shows the start time and title for every marker you have created.

Important Rules

• Sequential Timing: Ensure your start times increase in order (e.g., 0:01, 4:40, etc.) so the timeline makes sense for the viewer.
• First Chapter: It is common practice to set your first chapter at 0:00 to label the beginning of your video.
• Automatic Duration: Each chapter automatically ends when the next one begins, or when the video reaches the end.

Chapters turn a long, daunting video into a collection of easy to digest segments. By taking a few minutes to label your content, you provide a much better experience for your viewers and help them find the information they need faster.
