How to Add Chapters to Your Video

Learn more about How to Add Chapters to Your Video in Cincopa.

Video Chapters help divide your long videos into multiple short sections with Titles. Creating chapters in Cincopa allows the users to add multiple points in a video and then make the chapters visible as a timeline in the video. This helps the viewers to easily navigate through different chapters without having to watch the entire video.

Video Chapters are very helpful in creating tutorial/help videos where each chapter will represent a topic of discussion. This makes it easier for the viewer to find the help topic they are looking for.

Creating Video Chapters will also allow you to show your viewers what’s coming next and help them understand what they can expect to see in the video.
