Clearly I need to upgrade. Thanks for your help. Jim

Thanks for the response, Joe. I just checked my manual, which I hate, (by Doug Sahlin) and Encore Help and found no reference to playlists and chapter end actions. I’m using Encore 1.0 (which I hate) and which must be the version Adobe acquired before they made any improvements. I don’t think I have the navigation capabilities you referred to. Am I right that I need to upgrade? Jim

Thanks, George. Apparently, I have to create a separate timeline or title for each scene that I want to override to and then hang them all together with timeline end actions. Jim

George, by “title” are you referring to “timeline”? I set no overrides for my timelines. I set overrides for each button in my scene selection menu (each scene being denoted by a chapter point on my timelines). As I understand it and what has worked for me in the past is that the overrides are supposed to link back to the scene selection menu. The button with an ovverride causes the player to play only a single scene instead of continuing on playing the rest of the timeline and to return to the scene selection menu and stop. When playing a preview in Encore, when I click the End Action button, the player returns to the scene menu like it should, but otherwise the timeline just keeps playing scene after scene. It’s driving me crazy because I swear I’m using the same settings I’ve used many times before. Jim

Thanks for the reply, Michael. Since the Photoshop 16:9 mask key on V2 (or the top video track) essentially replaces the mask created in the camera, why not shoot 4:3 leaving head room for 16:9 and have the option to determine the format later? And there would be no built-in mask to jitter. The only drawback is the difficulty of precise framing which may or may not be critical depending on the nature of the shoot. Anyway, I will try FluidMotion. Jim
