    Posted by John Gregoriades on December 7, 2005 at 10:53 am

    Hi, Been away from editing for a while. These questions have probably been asked and answered, but please bear with me. All three relate to making & burning a DVD with a series of .jpg photos, with music background. No chapters etc. Simple. Here are the questions:
    1. Photos seem to overexpose and/or flicker at yellow and bright green highlights, when seen on TV. Is there a way to “tone down” the colors (for the whole group of photos simultaneously) so they don’t overwhelm the TV? I recall there was a NTSC-safe or PAL-safe method.
    2. Is there a way to set up the DVD so it starts playing immediately upon its insertion in a DVD player? (As is, it presents a “Menu 1” “button” that must be pressed on-screen, or physically pushing the “play” button on the DVD player.)
    3. Is there a way to set up the DVD so that it “loops”, that is once it comes to the end, to start again from the beginning?
    Thank you in advance,
    John

    Yes. There are various ways to do this. You might look at the color corrector, secondary color corrector, color curves, etc…

    Yes. The simplest way is to just do a File – New and pick Single Movie. It will then immediately start playing that movie. Otherwise, you can just make the desired movie the First Play.

    [John Gregoriades] “3. Is there a way to set up the DVD so that it “loops”, that is once it comes to the end, to start again from the beginning?”

    Certainly, just set the end-action of the movie to itself.

    Also on each photo, right click and go down to Switches, (I think it’s that), and check “reduce interlace flicker”.
