1. Re: Button to be appear in 20 sec
ram8kumar Jan 22, 2011 1:46 AM (in response to Bingo888)Hi Shaul,
Though your question is not very much clear to me. I mean I did not get what you are using as your first play.
I guess you are using a motion menu i.e. video with a menu as your first play.
With Motion menu, you can achieve to make your button appear after 10 seconds.
To do this,
1.Go to the menu properties in the Properties panel (you just need to select the menu).
2. Now click on the Motion Tab in the menu properties.
3. In the Loop Point option, enter the time after which you want your button to appear (10 seconds in your case.) The time to enter is in format of Hours : Minutes : Seconds :Frames . so you should enter 00:00:10:00
Specify what you are using as your first play if this is not the case.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Unfortunatly it does not function.
Let me please explain in other words.
I have a cplip for 17sec as a menue motion which loop forever.
I have also a "Play" button that appear just from the begining.
I would like that the "play" button will apear aftwe the first loop finished.
If the buton was not pressed it will be looped forever.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Shaul

I think that I understand what you want, but let me restate what I am thinking, so you can correct me.
You have a Menu with a Motion background, and you would like to have that play the full 17 sec., then the Play Button would appear after that. Is that correct?
If so, use that Motion Background (I assume that you have not created that in AE with the Button built-in - is that correct?), as a Play First Timeline, with a Duration of 17 sec. Link the End Action of that Timeline to the real Menu with the same Motion Background w/ the Button. In the real Menu, you can set the Loop for the Motion Background. You might want to edit that Play First AV file, so that the Button appears to come in, say with a Zoom from invisible to fully visible, right at the very last frame of that AV file.
I use similar, where I will take my Motion Background (or static) into PrPro, and then make the graphics of the Buttons (they are not yet Buttons, but just the graphic elements) fly into the Menu. They finish their animation on the last frame of my Play First AV file, that goes directly to the real Menu, with the real Buttons in the exact same place.
One note: when you Preview this in Encore, there may be a brief black "flash" between the Play First and the real Menu. Check this by burning an RW disc, or by doing a Burn to Folder and playing in a DVD software player. The black "flash" should not appear in the real DVD, just in Preview.
Good luck, and if that is not what you want, we can try again.
Hunt
PS - if you did do the Motion Background in AfterEffects, I would modify a version of that so that what one sees for the Play First does NOT contain a real Button, and use that on a Timeline.
