Default button selected at opening screen

Why do you want to do that? Unless you are making a special menu with some kind of Easter Egg, that will only confuse the audience.

It’s not possible to have a menu in the DVD-Video format with no buttons selected. If ‘None’ is chosen, then the first button will be selected.

If you don’t want selection shown, create an invisible button and make it the default button.

Joe,

Cool idea–I never thought of that. Thanks indeed.

[John Beck]

Jeff,

Thanks for your reply. I am sure there could be some confusion as this is not necessarily the standard but I wanted the menu to show as designed without the default highlight which is distracting to one of the items designated as a button.

Thanks for the guide, I will read through it. I am always interested in more information and glad to have the attached guide.

Thanks again!

Along this same topic, I have encountered difficulty when I have selected “none” as my default button, so that it will automatically return to the last button selected. But when it goes back to that menu, it sometimes highlights a different button than was ever chosen. What gives?

Thanks,
Jennifer

If your goal is to automatically return to the last button selected, then don’t set your default button to ‘None’.

Instead, leave the default at 1 (or whatever button you want selected when you first enter the menu), and then set the timeline Remote Menu property to ‘Return to Last Menu’ – this will return to the menu with the last button selected highlighted.
