Manage VOD media chapters

Update 08/31/2026

This guide covers creating chapters in a video from the VOD service and customizing the menu display (thumbnail, title, description, etc.).

 

Introduction

  • The video file must be encoded in MP4 to access the chapter editing features (creation + modification).
  • Chapter editing will not be possible on an FLV video, but the chapters will still be displayed on the Player if the video has also been encoded in MP4.
  • If the MP4 video is deleted, the chapters will remain in the FLV file, but without the possibility of editing them.
  • This tool cannot be used with audio-only media.
