How can we improve Premiere Pro?

Chapter Markers when Exporting to YouTube

Camtasia has a very nice feature when exporting and publishing directly to YouTube that automatically puts chapter markers into the description, which YouTube reads and renders as in-video chapter markers. I expected PremierPro to do so same since it has an option to publish directly to YouTube. I was disappointed when it didn't do that, because now I have to go back in and manually add the chapter markers.

    You can see how YouTube makes the playback much easier to use with the chapters.

    This is powered by the time codes in the description. Camtasia automatically translates the chapter marker times and labels into this format and places them in the video description.

    For this video, I didn't write any description (since it's an unlisted video for my students) but I think it will take whatever description you provide and append the chapter markers to the end.

    Do you have an example on youtube ? Do you upload the video with Camtasia and it writes the description itself without any manual intervention ?

    @Antoine Autokroma with Camtasia, if you publish a video to YouTube that has chapter markers, it automatically generates the necessary annotations in the description so that YouTube will automatically break up the playback bar into chapter-sized chunks.
