DVD Workshop Motion Button Question

[facialcrunch]

I am using DVD Workshop 2.0 to make a menu with each video as a motion button. When I view the menu, the rendered button always starts from the first frame. In other programs, such as NeroVision Express and Sony DVD Architect, you can set the start frame for the motion button video rendering.

Can this be done in DVD Workshop???

I've tried over and over and cannot find a way. The menu looks much nicer when you can view the best parts of the video in the motion buttons rather than the beginning of the video.

Thanks for the help!

One more thing...

The project is made of 6 - 8 home videos of about 6 minutes each, each without added chapters (each is only one chapter). I can see how to set a chapter thumbnail if I am using a still button rather than a motion one. I'd like the motion button to start at this chapter thumbnail point, and chen selected, play the respective video from the beginning.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I am not aware of a method for setting the start frame for motion buttons within Ulead DVD WORKSHOP 2.0. On the other hand, I can achieve that goal by creating a custom motion menu clip using Ulead VideoStudio or Ulead MediaStudio Pro.

I had been wondering the same thing. Thanks, Specialist, for suggesting a workaround.
