.MP4 or .MOV video chapter markers > TOC entries?

Hello Bill, welcome to the community!  There is not currently a way for Storyline to read the chapter markers from Final Cut Pro.

Thanks for that info, Brian!  So here's the follow-on question:  Is there some way to add "markers" or some other mechanism to the video in Storyline that would translate into TOC entries?  Thanks again for your insights!!

Hi Bill, and my apologies for not elaborating with my first response.  Re-reading it I could have anticipated your follow up question and provided a little more info

If I read your initial question correctly, I understand exactly what you want to do, but unfortunately there isn't a clean way to do this in Storyline (that I'm aware of).  In a nutshell you have one video, and want to create links that would jump to different parts of the video, avoiding the need to chop the video up into different segments.

The default TOC functionality links to slides within your presentation, and it cannot be modified to act as links that would jump to different points in your video's timeline.

With that being said, Storyline doesn't have the ability even within a single slide to jump to different points within a video, or to jump to cue points on the story's timeline (which would accomplish the same goal).  If this were possible then you could build your own custom TOC on the slide and just jump to a cue point.  I've seen a lot of people say that they've submitted feature requests for this functionality.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone in the community who has a creative solution to this problem, but off the top of my head the only thing I could suggest would be to cut the video into several segments.   This would allow you to put them on individual slides and give you the TOC functionality you're looking for.
