Get early access to Chapter Markers

Be the first to generate YouTube chapter timestamps automatically from your Premiere Pro transcript.

Chapters improve watch time, SEO, and viewer experience — and most creators skip them

YouTube chapters let viewers jump to the part of your video they actually want to watch. Videos with chapters see higher average view duration because viewers who might have dropped off can instead skip to a relevant section and stay engaged.

Each chapter label also appears as searchable text on YouTube, which means your video gets indexed for more keyword variations — more surface area for discovery. A 45-minute podcast episode with 8 chapters effectively has 8 extra title-level keyword opportunities.

The reason most creators skip chapters is that finding the timestamps manually is tedious. You have to watch or scrub through your entire video, note where each topic starts, write the timecode, write a label. For a 60-minute episode that's 20–30 minutes of extra work after the edit is already done. Chapter Markers generates them in seconds from the transcript you already have.

Why chapters work

Higher watch time — viewers skip to relevant sections instead of bouncing

More YouTube search surface — each chapter label is indexed as keywords

Better viewer experience — long-form content becomes navigable

Podcast discoverability — chapter titles appear in podcast apps that support them

Also exports as

Premiere Pro sequence markers — chapter points appear on your timeline and in exported files that support chapter metadata.

How Chapter Markers works

01

Generate transcript

CaptionX transcribes your audio. If you've already captioned the sequence, the transcript is ready — no extra step.

02

AI detects topic shifts

The chapter detection model reads your transcript and identifies where topics, segments, or subject matter meaningfully change.

03

Review and edit labels

Every suggested chapter appears with an AI-generated label. Edit any label, merge short sections, or remove chapters you don't want.

04

Export and paste

Copy the YouTube-formatted chapter list to your clipboard, or export Premiere Pro sequence markers to your timeline.

Built for long-form content creators

YouTube long-form creators

Any video over 10 minutes benefits from chapters. Tutorial series, interviews, commentary, and explainer content all become more watchable and more discoverable with proper chapter structure.

Podcast video editors

Podcast episodes on YouTube consistently perform better with chapters. Listeners skip to the guest's main story, the key insight, or the practical advice section — chapters let them do that instead of bouncing.

Course and education creators

Online course content, webinar recordings, and educational series are exactly what chapters were made for. Structure your content properly once and viewers navigate it on their own.
