Add chapters to a video

Add chapters to a video in YouTube — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need chapter timestamps added to a 12-minute tutorial titled 'Photoshop quick masks.' Insert five chapters with clear short labels and start times: 0:00 Intro, 1:05 Selection basics, 3:30 Quick mask workflow, 7:10 Refining edges, 10:00 Export tips. Ensure timestamps are in mm:ss and the list is ready to paste into the video's description.

I added chapters but retention still drops at chapter two

I pasted five chapter timestamps and viewers drop sharply after 'Selection basics' at 1:05. The video shows several quick cuts and a dense demo. I'm not sure whether the timing is wrong or the label is misleading. What is the likely diagnosis and the fastest change to test?

Chapters are inconsistent and don't help navigation

Across my tutorials, chapters either miss key steps or are too granular, and editors keep overwriting them. I manage a small creator team. Where are we losing viewer trust and time, and what single new convention should we adopt so chapters reliably guide returning learners?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
