Hi

We need more information on what you mean by the above comment.

Please describe in more detail what 'flag' and 'rename bar' refer to with respect, to what should be, renamed.

. . . . 'the next step' . . . .

If you looking for additional help in learning/using Video Deluxe 2026, there is a list of tutorials here which you may find useful.

When I add a red flag (chapter marker) to the video, it would be nice if the chapter marker rename bar opened up as soon as we place it. Right now, I have to right-click the flag to open the rename bar.

 

Sorry about that. I use it to remind me to do something; I didn't realize it was a chapter marker.

 

Thanks for the list of tutorials, which will be helpful.

Hi

I too agree it would be useful when creating DVD/Blu-ray discs, the Chapter names would be picked up by the chapter menus automatically.

. . . . I use it to remind me to do something . . . .

For that I use the 'old school' method - pen and paper.
