YouTube chapters

YouTube splits a video's progress bar into chapters from a list of timestamps in its description. StoryCut writes that list from a timeline's sections: one chapter for each section, named as you named the section, starting where it starts.

Copy them

Open Export in Edit and find YouTube chapters. Choose Copy chapters and paste them into your video's description in YouTube Studio.

When YouTube won't show them

YouTube shows chapters only when the list has at least 3 chapters, each lasting at least 10 seconds, starting at 0:00. When a timeline's sections don't meet that, StoryCut says why instead of giving you a list YouTube would ignore:

• Too few chapters: add sections in the Storyboard, so the timeline has at least 3. A section without story beats, or only empty ones, plays for no time, so it isn't a chapter.
• A chapter is too short: StoryCut names each section shorter than 10 seconds. Give it more story beats, or join it to the section beside it.

Chapters are timed to the timeline as it plays. Copy them again after you change the edit in your editor, since your video's timing is what YouTube reads.
