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.



1. Select a video from Parmonic's Home Page

In the Full Video Tab, select SOCIAL.
Note: Make sure you choose 'Full Video' and not 'Moments'
  1. Go to Full Video -> Social & Downloads and scroll down to view and copy YouTube Chapters


3. At the bottom of the screen you'll see YouTube Chapters.  Simply Copy (control/command + C) the timestamps and chapter titles here.4. Once signed in to YouTube, paste (command/control + V) the information into the video description box.

  1. Make sure that the first timestamp you list starts with 00:00. 
  2. Your video should have at least three timestamps listed in ascending order.
  3. The minimum length for video chapters is 10 seconds.
