VS X2 Motion menu (don't use first clip)

[requestor12]

Hi, Within a DVD menu I created a motion menu. However I don't want to have the first clip as introductory video for the motion menu. I unmarked the checkbox named "use first clip as introductory video and added, in the first page of the Share - DVD, the clip that must be played in the motion menu (moved the clip most left).

In the menu itself its now fine when nothing is selected, though when selecting the total video to play, the selected video file of the motion menu starts to play where the first video file (clip) must be played. I know that in the main menu I can select the first clip to play as well but that's exactly what I want to avoid. I like to keep the menu stupid simple (KISS).

I removed all chapters since I don't like to have a sub-menu. Just one overall main menu to play the total video, and in the DVD menu in the motion menu only, I want to see (and not select) the chosen clip.

How to fix?

Hi

There seems to be some confusion here, I am not sure what you are trying to do………..

The introductory video has no effect on the dvd menu.

If you select to use the introductory video then it will play when the disc is inserted to the player, the introductory video will play, after playing the disc will show the menu, allowing you to select the video/title to play.

Creating a menu

If you wish to have a background image or video you can by selecting the Edit tab
Choose Background Image/Video……………you can then select the background file….

The motion menu is limited to 30 seconds, you may need to disable “motion menu” depending what affects you need.

View your settings by choosing “preview”

Correct, I was wrong. Well, more specifically, the chosen template was corrupt. When I selected a different one, I was able to change the start / end time of the motion menu. Problem solved, case closed!
