I checked and I have no sequence marker in Premiere at that time. Putting assets on separate timelines helped with the extra chapter that was being added by encore but now I having a different problem. You can skip forward and backward through chapters that are on the same timeline but I can’t skip backward to a timeline that came before the one I’m on.
So I have 4 timelines
I put chapter markers at the end of each timeline so that people could skip forward to the next timeline if they wanted to. If there was no chapter marker at the end of the timeline then the timeline would have to be played to completion before going to the next. You would not be able to skip forward at all. The problem I’m having is that you cannot go backward to the timeline that came before.So if I have a chapter at the end viewers are able to skip forward to the next timeline but they can’t skip back. If they could they would just hit the last chapter marker in the previous timeline.
How do you make it so viewers can go forward and backward through multiple timelines easily? Is this where I might need to put in some overrides!? Help!

That is correct, it was 33 sec because the intro screen was in front of the video and is 11 sec long. Do you mean a screen shot of the video itself or of the encore timeline?
-
No, encore did not give me any messages as I put my assets on the timeline.

So I tried putting each of my assets in different timelines in Encore CS3 and that seemed to get rid of the added chapter that Encore was putting in each of my discs at exactly 33 sec.
I building 2 different discs using the same assets in Encore CS3 and CS4 and both added a chapter at exactly 33sec into the video. I checked my encore timeline and my premiere pro timeline and had no chapter markers at that specific point.
I tried burning another blu-ray using different assets this time and I got the same added chapter at 33sec again!?
This is when I had all my assets on one timeline.
After separating them onto different timelines I did not get the added chapter point at the 33sec. mark. Does anyone know why this happens? -
Thanks, I’ll give it a try next week.

Ok, there is only 1 timeline in the whole project and a total of 6 assets. They appear in this order on the timeline.
1.Introduction 11sec.
2.Part 1 of 2 of the video
3.Part 1 of 2 of the video’s audio
4.Part 2 of 2 of the video
5.Part 2 of 2 of the video’s audio
6.End Credits
and that’s it.the only reason there are 2 parts and they are right up next to each other is because this was originally edited for DVD and because of file size restrictions. With a Bluray we can fit the 2 discs on one and cut costs.
The first asset is an opening introduction but it is not on a timeline by itself in fact nothing is. I was having a problem where the BD disc would just play a black screen right after the Introduction forever without ever getting to asset 2. without me manually skipping to it.

Ok I tried authoring the Blu-Ray again in CS3 instead of CS4 and the video goes from the intro to the main video without any problems. I still have the added Chapter stop at the exact same spot in the video where I did not put one on my encore timeline. I am using the same assets but I have no idea how this would happen. I’m going to check my premiere project to see if I can come up with anything.
here are my settings:
Source footage
M2t 720p, 59.94, audio 48khz 16bit.
using CS3 to edit and Adobe Media encoder to export to:
H.264 Blu-Ray, 1280×720, Progressive, 59.94fps, CBR 25mbs, audio 48khz 16bit -
I did not use an overrides because the project only has one timeline and no menu. The purpose of the disc is that our vice president can go out and show these discs to people live. They are set to autoplay once you put them in and they play through from beginning to end. There are chapters so he can still skip through if he needs too. The end action is set to stop so when it ends the disc stops and does not start over. This gives him a opportunity to just start talking to the group without having to press stop or stops the disc automatically so he can change discs. I agree it’s not that exciting but for this application it works.
Would adding overrides help? I don’t know I haven’t tried it.
-
no Overrides and the end action of the timeline is set to stop. The added chapter point is near the beginning of the video. A chapter point was added in between my second and third chapter. It’s not on the timeline when I checked back so I don’t know where it came from.

Ok I tried a bitmap file and had the same problem. I edited the bitmap in photoshop and even checked to make sure the color was set to RGB. When I brought it back into premiere the bitmap looks darker compared to our video. What’s even stranger is that when I apply a color correction effect to the bitmap on video layer 2 it make the video in layer 1 match the bitmap as opposed to making the bitmap match the video. I have to have the bitmap on layer 2 though because I am trying to hide the exit sign on layer 1. What should I try next?
