Hi,
I have worked with a Encore-project for a long time without working as I want. (Case 1)
Eventually I found an alternative way that seems to be a solution (Case 2).
I have created a small test project consisting of 1 menu, 2 avi-files and a short video. The avi-files was created in After Effects, composition based on the menu and with opacity 0 - 100% (Menu IN) and 100 - 0% (Menu OUT).
In Encore was a timeline created for Menu IN with "Set as first play" and a link from End Action to the Menu. From the Play-button/Property/Transition a link to Menu OUT.
Here is the flowchart:
The preview works ok but when I make a playback of a buil DVD Folder it stops after first transition
If I not use the Transition property for the Play button but instead connect Main OUT from the play-button Link and connect the video from the End Action from Main Out everything worked as it should
Here is the flowchart of Case 2: .
It would be interesting if any of muvipix members to comment on what is wrong in Case 1.
Regards
Thomas
