Why add chapters to videos with Cinema8’s tools?
Cinema8’s chaptering tools make longer videos easier to navigate and understand. Chapters help viewers jump directly to the sections they need, reducing friction and improving retention. Instead of watching an entire video to find a specific point, your audience can skim through labelled sections instantly. This creates a smoother viewing experience and makes your content more accessible, user-friendly and search-friendly across teams and audiences.
