Help with Chapter Motion Buttons

[golem95]

I'm creating my own menu from scratch in DVDWS2 (i.e. no templates... custom designed to match artwork on the case).

When I drag a chapter onto a motion button, it creates a nice little loop of the chapter on the menu. Very nice.

However, I want to be able to change the actual segment that is looped. In other words, the chapter might start at 00:05:15 (i.e. title card "Learn to Drive"), but the segment in the chapter that I want to loop for the menu might be from 00:12:25 to 00:12:40 (i.e. a snippet of a person driving).

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to do this.

If I go to the main menu screen and change the thumbnail image for the chapter, when I drag the chapter onto the motion button, I *do* see that thumbnail, but the minute I preview the menu, the loop goes back to starting from the beginning of the chapter, regardless. This is driving me crazy, because all of my chapters start with fade-ins on title cards, as opposed to the actual content within the chapter (which would be more interesting to look at for the menus), but the actual chapter does need to begin at the title card.

I have read the manual, read the online tutorials on ULead's site, and watched the video tutorials... none of them mention how to do this.

Is it even possible? I have to believe it is.

Thanks in advance...
