Creator's Best Friend builds Chapter Markers & Segmented progress Bars for YouTube from Final Cut Pro X

A new app for any Final Cut Pro X user who publishes to YouTube.

Creator's Best Friend takes the chapter markers from FCP XML and translates them into a list of timestamps for YouTube.

This $9.99 app is a joint venture between Idustrial Revolution and Intelligent Assistance and is available on the Mac App Sore now.
