Tutorial 1.B. - Add the Main Menu Loop
What you will learn in this section:
- Re-naming items in the Playlist
- Setting the On End Title property to create a loop
- Setting the frame rate for a title
- Adding Primary Video and Primary Audio to a title
The Main Menu Loop is the video title that will play after the First Play image displays.
To Add the Main Menu video title:
- You will notice that a video title named “Title 1″ exists in your Playlist tree. Every time you start a new project a Title is created by default.
- Click on “Title 1″ to display its properties in the Control Panel.
- Highlight the text in the “Name” text field, type “Menu Loop” and press Enter. This changes the name of the title from “Title 1″ to “Menu Loop.” You will see the name change in the Playlist tree.
- The On End Title property determines what video title will play after the current title reaches its end. Since the Menu loop is intended to loop on itself, leave the On End Title set to “Menu Loop”.
- The Frame rate for the Demo project’s Menu Loop video is 29.97, so leave the Frames Per Second setting to its default setting of “29.97″.
To add a video stream to the video title:
- Under the Title’s Primary Audio and Video node, click the “Video” icon to display its properties in the Control Panel.
- Use the ellipses button to open the dialog window and select the video stream called “MenuLoop.avc” found in the DemoProject.AV folder.
To add an audio stream to the title:
- Right-click the Primary Audio and Video icon and select “Add Audio” from the context menu which displays a dialog window. (Alternatively, you can click the Primary Audio and video icon and then click the Action button at the top of the Playlist tree to display the same context menu).
- Click the ellipses button and use the dialog window to select the audio stream called “MenuLoop.ac3″ found in the DemoProject.AV folder.
