How do I.....

Post by woolfie »

Ok I have been playing about with the try before you buy version of MF6 and I cant work this out. When I preview the movie I can play each individual chapter but how do i play the whole movie in one? Do I need to put in an option for this? I am sure the answer is already on the forum but i dont know what to search for!


Thanks very much agin

I have a feeling you have separate files/clips for each "chapter". (In DVD terminology, these separate clips are titles, not chapters.)

If you import your movie as a single file, it should play continuously. (If you need to splice clips together, you may need a video editor, such as Video Studio.)

A DVD is structured as titles (programs) and chapters. You can have up to 99 titles, each with up to 99 chapters. (The chapter is identified by a pointer to a single frame that marks the start of the chapter).

A title is a single program or movie. Most DVDs have one title with several chapters. Or for example, a commercial DVD might have two titles. One main movie and one "extra feature" program.

A DVD-menu button can point to any chapter in any title. Once you start playback, the entire title will play-back through all of the remaining chapters to the end of that title.

But in VideoStudio you can set it to go back to the menu after the title plays, or to continue to the next title. You can't do that in Movie Factory?

First, under the GEAR Icon make sure "Play next video clip" is selected under the drop-down box.

You can preview all the clips as a whole movie in the Menuing page "PREVIEW" Icon.
