usually chapters play for partic position to the end of the movie. since you want to return to the main menu after each chapter, you have to add the movie multiple times, and position the IN & OUT points for each one – the movie will only actually be on the disk once.

ok, fairly simple:

1) add the movie to the project for as many buttons as you need – simply drop it in many times
2) rename each button for the relevant chapter
3) double click whichever chapter you wish to define
4) the video should appear on the DVDA timeline
5) drag the IN and OUT points to the right position for that partic chapter – them yellow things

btw, although you add the video many times, it will only be on the disk once

HTH 🙂

change the keyframe properties for SMOOTHNESS & TYPE to get the result you want.

yep, have to use pan/crop -am assuming you have applied it to one clip, then copy/paste attributes to all other events you select

alternative: create a letterbox graphic with black bars & alpha middle area, and place on track above current media – find it sometimes is easiest option, esp if certain clips already have pan/crop for other reasons

no doubt someone will give you more options

if it works, it works

think it might have been necessary in the older versions of vegas……..IIRC

[Adam Rose esq.]

what happens if you import the video the old way (copy the .vob files to your drive, then rename them as .mov and drop on timeline)?

give it a bash

render as AVI

Fuddam, I have the deepest respect for your opinion, and your talents in Vegas. I’ve seen your posted works and have learned a great deal from most of your posts. Unfortunately, you seem not to respect my opinion. Ok, fair enough! You go ahead and use PowerPoint for corporate Presentations. I certainly won’t. Oh and by the way, dude, I don’t drink coffee!!

hehehehe. No offense intended, Rob. Sorry if it seemed that way 🙂
thing with the OP is that no mention made whether interactivity required, and if it is, vegas ain’t gonna cut it. Agreed that if simply be a self-standing promo, Vegas would def produce more capable results than PP.

less on the coffee, methinks

just a friendly suggestion
