Menu problems
I have set up sub-menus in my movie and have also put in buttons for each chapter. However, after playing a chapter it goes on to the next chapter instead of returning to the sub-menu. How do I make it return to the sub-menu after playing a chapter?

One big file? Or a bunch of little files?
If it’s one big file, you have to set the IN point AND the OUT point – otherwise it will “play to the end”.

Sorry to appear foolish, but I have tried double clicking on each button in turn and setting the in and out points. However, when I preview the movie whichever button I press it goes to the last set of in and out points, completely ignoring the earlier ones. Am I missing out a step somewhere? It is one large file by the way. Thanks again.

When you double-click any menu option, it will open up the video in the timeline with the IN point set to that chapter point. The OUT point will be and the end. Simply drag it backwards to the next chapter point and all should be fine.

I’m still not with it. When I double click on any menu option the IN point is still where it was for the previous menu. If I move it to the appropriate chapter start then the previous menu setting is lost and that starts at the setting for the next chapter and so on. I know I’ve got this right before but for some reason it’s not happening now! In other words the IN OUT section only seems to work for the last menu. I’m off to bed now here in the UK and hope that you can let me have a simple solution to this problem for tomorrow morning. I really do appreciate your help

Just to say I deleted and reinserted the clips and, miracle of miracles, it worked! Why the previous set failed I have no idea.

I didn’t want to say it last night but my thoughts at that time was “start over”. Didn’t know if that was feasible for you, though.

It didn’t work before because I brought the clips in as links rather than as clips. I now know what to do, I hope. Anyway the film is now on DVD and all is well.
