    Button Override Question Encore CS5

    Dave Dwyer Community Member

      Hey everyone.

       

      I have added chapter points to a single timeline and then linked these chapter points to corresponding menu buttons. These chapters will be viewed via the Chapter Selection menu.  After a chapter has been watched, I want the user to be returned to the Chapter Selection menu. So, I set the Override for the menu buttons to return to the menu.

       

      But, this does not work

       

      SO ...

       

      How do you create Chapters in a single timeline and have the user return to the Chapter Selection menu once the chapter has been viewed?

       

      thanks

          I did not look a second time, but if you did what you said, it should work. But overrides can be tricky.

           

          However, the current two methods most recommended (for DVD, the first does not work on bluray) is

           

          1) to create a single chapter, chapter playlist for each chapter, with an end action on each chapter playlist to return to the menu.

           

          or

           

          2) make each chapter its own asset (from Premiere), and its own timeline. Then each chapter is a timeline (and the timeline end action is to the menu), and you make a playlist (not a chapter playlist) for the play all.

           

          Their are no overrides and no end actions on chapters.

            Stan is right.

            You should avoid using the overrides if you can. Chapter playlist is a better way.

            But if you still want to use the button overrides, then in your case I suspect that you might have not set the end action to individual chapter markers.

            To execute the button override action, you should have a specified end action of the item linked to the button. (the chapter point in your case.)

             

            Well, this is just my guess. Let me know if there is something else.

             

            Thanks,

            Ramesh.

              Where does it not work.  Inside of Encore, or on a burned DVD in a DVD player?
