Setting start and end behaviors
You have set links that viewers can use to start playing the video at specific chapter points.
Now you need to define the sequences that aren’t controlled by the viewer. For example,
you need to determine which timeline or menu runs when the DVD is first inserted into
the player, and which timeline or menu follows it.
For this project, you want the Introduction timeline to run when the viewer inserts the
DVD. When it has finished playing, the main menu should appear.
1
In the Project window, select the Introduction timeline.
On the icon next to the Introduction timeline is a small circle with an arrow in it (
).
This symbol indicates that this item plays first when the DVD is inserted into the player.
Note: If the symbol doesn’t appear on the icon next to the Introduction timeline, right-click
the Introduction timeline in the Project window, and choose Set as First Play.
2
In the Properties palette, choose Main > One from the End Action pop-up menu.
