Questions
Does it make the chapter list for my video description?
Yes. Give each chapter a start time and it writes chapters.txt, ready to paste. It also warns when the list breaks the usual rules: the first chapter must start at 0:00, there should be at least three, and each should last ten seconds or more.
What is the second shot after the title?
After the title holds, two triangles close over it and open on a tilted photo with a short heading and one line of copy for the chapter. Use a still from your footage, or trim the card right after the triangles open and let your footage take over.
Can every chapter sound the same?
Yes. Every card has the same timing, so one PopNow sound-effect run on one card gives a stamp and whoosh you can reuse on all of them. You see the price before it runs.
My chapter title is long. Can the text shrink?
No; the title is one large line by design. The check warns above 28 characters so you can shorten it, which also reads better on screen.
How do I add chapters to a YouTube video with these cards?
Paste the timestamp list the skill writes into your video description, starting at 0:00, and YouTube creates the chapters. The animated chapter titles in the video match those names, which is the simplest way to make YouTube chapters that viewers actually notice.
