Activity Forums Adobe Encore DVD Main Timeline

    quick question regarding a Main Timeline. I’m making a DVD (as well as Blu-Ray) project that doesn’t reallly have a main timeline, it’s a bunch of different showcases and events. Is it possible to set a Playlist as a Main Timeline ? Or if you set the Main Timeline to a timeline with an end action that links to another timeline, will the Main Timeline respect this feature when selected so it could play all the timelines?

    Just curious, thanks!!

    The “Main Timeline” is just the timeline that gets written to disc first. Otherwise, the timeline order on the disc will be the order that you create the timelines.

    AFAIK, you shouldn’t be able to set a Playlist as the Main Timeline; did you try it? What happened?

    Main Timeline is the Timeline that plays when you press Stop button twice in DVD remote and then press Play button. This works for DVD only.
    Playlist cannot be added as Main Timeline.

    Or if you set the Main Timeline to a timeline with an end action that links to another timeline, will the Main Timeline respect this feature when selected so it could play all the timelines?
    >> Yes, this should work
