Better Chapter Markers

Your OBS chapter markers, in Premiere Pro. The way Resolve has always had them.

OBS can drop a chapter marker with a hotkey while it records, straight into the file. DaVinci Resolve reads them. Premiere ignores them completely — so every marked moment you made while recording is invisible the second you start editing.

This is a panel that reads them out of the recording and puts them on your clip. No ffmpeg, no Python, no companion app. One folder, one button.

Installing

Unzip the download. You'll get a folder called gg.kaim.obsmarker_0.1.0.

Keep that name exactly as it is. Premiere finds the panel by that name, 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.
In Premiere: Settings → Plugins, tick Enable Developer Mode.

Adobe requires this for any panel not installed through Creative Cloud. It's a checkbox, and it stays ticked.
Quit Premiere properly and reopen it. The panel is under Window → Extensions → OBS Chapter Markers.

Using it

Select your recording in the Project panel, open the panel, and hit Extract markers. The chapters land on the clip, so they follow the footage into every sequence you cut it into.

Marker names — keep what OBS wrote, number repeated names (Note 1, Note 2), number everything, or append the timecode. If your OBS setup writes real detail into chapter names, keep them; if every marker just says Note, numbering makes them findable.
Points or regions — a region spans from each chapter to the next rather than sitting at a single frame.
Clip or timeline — clip markers travel with the footage; timeline markers go on the active sequence, offset to wherever the clip sits, including trimmed clips and the same recording used more than once.
Run it twice safely — markers already there are skipped rather than doubled, and one undo removes a whole import.

What you need

Premiere Pro 25.6 or newer. The marker API this uses doesn't exist before that.
Recordings in Hybrid MP4 or Hybrid MOV. In OBS: Settings → Output → Recording → Recording Format. Plain MP4 and MOV cannot store chapters at all, so there is nothing to read out of them.
Chapters actually in the file. OBS writes them when the recording finishes, so a recording that crashed has none.

If something goes wrong

The panel reports what it finds before you extract anything — select a clip and it will tell you how many chapters are in it. No chapters on a file you know you marked almost always means it was recorded as plain MP4 rather than Hybrid.

The panel isn't in the Extensions menu. Check the folder name is exactly gg.kaim.obsmarker_0.1.0, that it's directly inside External rather than nested one level deeper, that Developer Mode is ticked, and that Premiere fully quit rather than just closing its window.
