Better Chapter Markers
Add your OBS chapter markers to Premiere, because Adobe won't do it
themselves.
Annoyed that Adobe still hasn't added chapter markers to Premiere? Me too. Use this until they sort their shit out.
Installing
With the installer — easiest
Double-click the .ccx file you downloaded. Creative Cloud opens and
installs it.
It will warn you that the plugin is from an unknown or untrusted source, and ask whether you want to continue. That is expected — it means the plugin came from here rather than from Adobe's marketplace. Continue past it.
Restart Premiere. The panel is in Window → Extensions.
By hand — needs Developer Mode
Unzip the .zip you downloaded. You get a folder called
gg.kaim.obsmarker_1.0.0. Keep that name exactly — Premiere finds the panel by it,
and a folder called anything else is ignored without an error.
Put the folder here:
macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/Plugins/External/In Finder: Go → Go to Folder…, paste that, press Enter.
Windows
%APPDATA%\Adobe\UXP\Plugins\External\In Explorer: paste that into the address bar and press Enter.
Create the External folder if it isn't there.
Then in Premiere: Settings → Plugins, tick Enable Developer Mode. Adobe requires it for anything not installed through Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere afterwards.
Using it
Select your recording — on the timeline or in the Project panel — and press Extract markers. That's it.
They go on the clip, so they follow the footage into every sequence you use it in. Switch to Timeline if you'd rather have them on the sequence. Running it twice doesn't double anything up, and one undo removes a whole import.
Options covers marker names, regions, and OBS's automatic marker at 00:00.
If something goes wrong
It says no markers were set. The recording is fine — the chapter hotkey just never got pressed during it. OBS only puts chapters in a file if you set at least one.
It says it isn't an OBS Hybrid recording. Chapters only exist in Hybrid MP4 or Hybrid MOV — in OBS, Settings → Output → Recording → Recording Format. OBS also writes them when the recording stops, so a recording that crashed has none.
The panel isn't in the Extensions menu. Quit Premiere fully rather than closing the window, and reopen. If you installed by hand, check the folder name and that Developer Mode is ticked.
