Motion button problem

[Tim Kurkoski]

What version of Encore are you running. Install the 1.0.1 or 1.5.1 update if you haven’t already.

Did you trim your file in the timeline? I’ve seen that cause poster frames to become offset.

How many chapters do you have? How many buttons are on each menu? Encore has some internal limits (some are actually from the DVD spec) and having too many of some things can cause problems.

Lastly, try rebuilding just this timeline and menu in a new project. If the problem doesn’t occur there, there’s probably something screwed up with the project file. Sad, but it happens.

Thanks for the reply, Tim.

I am running the latest version of 1.5.1. I have 6 buttons on each page.

However, I did trim the project in the timeline. I think that may be my problem. I’ll try undoing the trim and check the motion buttons again. But if that is the issue, why does it not effect the still image? When the animation is off, the still is in the exact poster frame.

Thanks for your help.

Couldn’t explain, exactly, but it probably has something to do with the process Encore uses to generate/render the animated buttons, which is undoubtedly different than how it captures a single frame.
