# Step 1 - Launch AutoChapters & Define sections

Select the audio section to be analyzed by AutoChapters. You can choose from:
* **Entire timeline:** Analyze the full sequence
* **In/Out points:** Analyze a specific section
* **Selected clips:** Analyze only selected clips
This allows you to generate chapters only where you need them.

# Step 2 - Select audio language & Adjust parameters

Before generating chapters, select the language of your audio to improve detection accuracy.
You can also adjust additional parameters:
* **Chapters number:** Choose the number of chapters you want AutoChapters to generate, this helps guide the algorithm depending on your content. If you're unsure, we recommend using the default setting for best overall results.
* **Detection Fine-tuning:** When enabled, a text field appears where you can provide instructions to the algorithm (ex: *create chapters based on topic changes, short chapters for tutorial steps, focus on key ideas and important moments*).

* **Timeline markers** in Premiere Pro
* **Exportable YouTube chapters**
You can enable one or both depending on your workflow.
