Built for Real Post-Production
Markers in Final Cut Pro are powerful, but they are locked inside the timeline. Chapter Tool Pro turns them into structured, shareable information that can be used across your entire production workflow.
Write notes, track tasks, suggest B-roll, and export reports for editors, directors, assistants, and other departments.
Features
