# YouTube Chapters (Sashimii Docs, Finishing)

> Mark chapters while you review by tagging notes, see them in Edit view, and copy the chapter list for your YouTube description.

Chapters come from notes. Tag a note **Chapter** and it marks a chapter at the note’s start; the note’s first line is the chapter’s title. Do it as you review, while you are listening anyway. See [Notes and Directions](https://sashimii.app/docs/notes/).

## See Them

Edit view shows each chapter as a purple flag on the ruler, at its time in the cut. A chapter whose start was cut sits at the next kept frame, marked with scissors.

## Copy Them

**Cut › Copy YouTube Chapters** copies one line per chapter, `m:ss Title`, ready for your video’s description. For example:

```
0:00 Intro
0:42 Light
1:30 Sound
2:15 Keep going
```

When no chapter starts at 0:00, the list starts with `0:00 Intro`, as YouTube needs. If YouTube wouldn’t show the list (fewer than three chapters, or one shorter than 10 seconds), an alert says why; the list is copied anyway.

After a render, **Copy YouTube Chapters** in the Export popover copies the times from the finished movie.
