Each chapter track has two attributes. They are displayed beneath the Chapter Table.

- The Assigned Track pop-up button lets you link the current chapter track with another track, already present in the movie
Setting the Default Chapter Track
When ChapterWork creates an output file from your project, all chapter tracks are packaged as a track group inside your movie. Within a track group only one track can be active at a time. The active track is determine by a variety of media selection factors, including the track language.
The Default Chapter Track pop-up menu lets you select which chapter track will be the default active track when no other media selection factors are in play.
