Menu Background Images

If you have your Menu Page Properties > End Action set to Hold, it should stay on the last frame when the video plays once.

If you already have it set this way, there may be a black frame at the end ouf your video clip.

If there’s audio with the clip, also make sure the audio is SHORTER than the video. If it’s longer, it will continue playing to the end of the audio but the video will change to black.

Hi Gary

Many thanks for your suggestion, especially the comment about a blank frame at the end of the clip.

Hi Edward

Thanks for your comment about the duration of the audio.

On a different subject, I offered to write copy for your newsletter – from the perspective of a new user. Do you still want any material?

If so, in what subject do you want assistance?

I had offered to do a write-up about creating menus pointing to one large video, as I found this area poorly documented.

Another area that I’m finding hard to get right, is that of linking buttons to menu text. I have read (many times) your article in Tips, Hints ….. about this subject but I cannot get the process to work correctly, especially when there are 6 menu choices pointing to sections of one large video file.

Look forward to your response

John

Sure. Send me anything and I’ll look at it. I admit I’ve been a little delinquent in getting new issues out lately – all due to lack of time.
