Changing End Actions
To change an item’s End Action:
1. Select the item in the Project window. The Attributes window displays the item’s
attributes.
2. Click the second tab on the Attributes window. This tab is named after the item; for
example, if you selected a movie, the tab is named “Movie.” The tab displays the item’s
End Action settings.
3. Select the desired action from the End Action pop-up menu.
The remaining settings depend on which End Action you chose:
t
If you link the End Action to a menu, you can force a specific button on that menu
to be selected by choosing from the Set Highlight pop-up menu. This setting will be
overridden if the linked menu has a
Forced Selection button; see “Forcing selection
of a menu button” on page 138 .
t
If you link the End Action to a movie, you can force playback of a particular audio
or subtitle track by selecting the track from the Set Audio Stream or Set Subtitle
Stream list pop-up menu.
Overriding title End Actions
A project might have several links to a title. For example, there could be a button link from
the main menu to the start of a movie title, button links from other menus to the movie’s
chapter points, and a link from a different movie. You will probably want different things to
happen when the movie finishes, depending on how the viewer began playing the movie.
To create different end behaviors, you must override the title’s End Action. You do this with
playlists and with button
Link End Actions . The following describes how to use Link End
Actions; for information about playlists, see “Creating and editing playlists” on page 128 .
A Link End Action simply causes the last menu to be displayed when the title finishes. It is
commonly used where several different menus contain button links to the same title, such as
a series of chapter selection menus.
When you link a title to a button, the Link End Action override is turned on by default. If
this is not the desired behavior, you must turn it off.
