Me, too…sorry George, I found the link on a web search, but didn’t click on it before posting it here.

Overrides are old-school.

There may be a video tutorial somewhere (I don’t know), but if you can make a timeline with clips in it, that’s most of the work.

You can create a chapter playlist by selecting a timeline in the Project panel, then choose New > Chapter Playlist. Then just drag the chapters over from the timeline side into the chapter playlist side (one chapter per chapter playlist).

[Joe Bowden]

You have a single timeline with multiple clips, right?

Here’s how you do it:

1. Create a timeline that has all the clips (and chapters) with no overrides. Set the end action of the timeline to where you want to go after the entire timeline has played. Link the Play All button to chapter 1 of this timeline.

2. Create a chapter playlist for each clip in the timeline. Set the end action of each chapter playlist to where you want to go after the the chapter playlist plays (presumably back to the menu). Link each button to each chapter playlist that you want to play.

That’s really all there is to it.

Here’s what an override does: it replaces the end action of the targeted object. If you fully understand this statement, then overrides shouldn’t give you much trouble.

However, chapter playlists and end actions are just easier to work with. Explain what you want to happen, and I can give you an outline of how to do it with chapter playlists.

[Joe Bowden]

Don’t use overrides. Unless you understand exactly what they do, you will not get your expected behavior.

Use chapter playlists with end actions instead – much simpler.

You want to manually route your buttons.

Open the menu, go to the Properties and uncheck “Automatically Route Buttons”. In the Menu editor, click the “Show Button Routing” button and then drag and drop each arrow where you want it to go.

For more information, search the help for “button routing”.
