Generate YouTube Descriptions and Chapters

If you are looking to upload your full video to YouTube and want to make it indexable by Google (parent of YouTube), we suggest adding chapter markers in your YouTube video description.

YouTube Video Chapters break up a video into sections, each with an individual preview. Video chapters add info and context and make videos more consumable both for humans and bots.

You can manually create these OR let Parmonic do it for you.

Step 1: Select the video you'd like to edit.

Step 2: Scroll down to the Full Video module and enter the social module.

Step 3: At the bottom of the screen, you'll see YouTube Chapters.  Simply click on 'Copy Text' to copy the timestamps and chapter titles.

Step 4: To add your own video chapters to YouTube,

1. Sign in to YouTube Studio.
2. From the left menu, select Content.
3. Click the video that you'd like to edit.
4. In the Description, add a list of timestamps and titles.
5. Make sure that the first timestamp you list starts with 00:00. 
6. Your video should have at least three timestamps listed in ascending order.
7. The minimum length for video chapters is 10 seconds.

8. 5. Click SAVE.
