Setting disc navigation linksThe navigation links of a disc control what menu or timeline to display when the DVD starts and, optionally, what to display when that menu or timeline ends. To set disc links:
Note: If you plan to use the pick whip to select a link, you can instead click the Timelines or Menus tab in the Project window. The tab you choose depends on whether the link is to be to a timeline or to a menu. Then click anywhere in the blank space below the list of assets so that Adobe Encore DVD deselects any selected elements and displays the disc properties in the Properties palette.) Note: The First Play pop-up menu 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 disc-related link options in the Properties palette are as follows: First Play Specifies which menu or timeline is displayed when the viewer first starts the DVD, as well as which button is highlighted or at which chapter point to begin in the timeline. For menus, unless you select Default from the list of buttons, the button you choose overrides the linked menu's default button. Adobe Encore DVD initially sets First Play to the first menu or timeline created in the project, or to the first menu imported. Override (Optional) Sets the end action for the link specified in First Play. This link overrides the default end action of the menu or timeline. You can specify a menu and the button to highlight or a timeline and starting chapter point. (See Understanding end action overrides.) |
