Setting timeline navigationThe Timeline mode of the Properties palette lets you set which menu or timeline to link to when the timeline finishes playing and when the viewer selects the Menu button on the remote control. Most DVD remote controls have a Menu button. You generally set this button to return the viewer to the last menu accessed, that is, the menu that brought the viewer to this timeline. As with other links, you specify a menu and the button to highlight, or a timeline and starting chapter point. Note: Do not confuse the Menu button with the Title button. The Menu button is a timeline setting; the Title button is a DVD-wide setting. The Title button returns you to the main menu of the DVD from any point in the program. You specify a link for the Title button in the Disc mode of the Properties palette. (See Setting disc navigation and properties.) To set timeline navigation and the Menu Remote:
Note: The End Action pop-up menus lists up to 20 of the most recently used menus and timelines. If the menu or timeline you want is not listed, choose Specify Other from the pop-up menu, as described below. The Timeline mode of the Properties palette contains the following navigation options: End Action Specifies the menu or timeline to switch to when the timeline has finished, as well as which button is highlighted or at which chapter point to begin in the timeline. Override (Optional) Specifies a link that should override the end action of the menu or timeline to which this timeline is linked. Default setting is Not Set, which leaves the end action unchanged. (See Understanding end action overrides.) Menu Remote Specifies the destination to switch to when the viewer pushes the Menu button on the remote control. You usually set this button to return the viewer to the last menu accessed. |
