  1. I have two clips, I want one to play right after the other but I'm not sure how to do this. Can someone help?

    Thanks

  2. Right click on your 1st clip to bring up menu options, and in the end action change to start clip 2, thats it. Assuming both clips are inside a menu. But even in a different menu, the key is to look at your end action.

  3. For some reason it doesn't give me an option to go to the next video, it just has the option of returning to a certain menu.

  4. Not sure on how you want to author this, but try this.

    for your first play, put a menu in there, this also automatically makes the menu1 the same as your first play. Now just drag and drop your first movie, then the second, and thats it. Change the end action to go to movie2. It will work. Use simulation mode to verify. If you want to see what the program did, then exit simulation mode. go to menu1 and right click on first movie clip, go to link properties, and it will show you the actions that were needed. Hope this helps!

  5. Thanks, I tried your method and it worked. But, I have thumbnails of the videos on the menu. I don't want this becuase you can choose what you want to watch, and the two clips I have goes to one video. I want to just drag a title or a button down and put the two clips in them but it wont let me. What should I do?

    Thanks

  6. Again it depends on how you want to author it, and since I don't know, I'll give the options that I think you may be looking for.

    Option1: Join/merge the two movies into ONE movie only. simple to do. then you can just put the movie itself into first play and thats it, no menus. You can still add chapter points, of course.

    Option2: If the merge is not doable something more complex is needed but I'll try to make it simple.

    Put a menu in first play, then put the same exact menu for menu 2. so you'll have first play, menu1, and menu2 exactly the same.

    Now create a title, call it My movie, after its written, select somewhere outside the title area, somewhere on the menu itself. Making sure you've selected the menu itself (on the left side, nothing to do with the right side) then copy it, use control+c.

    Now click on the right side for menu2 (its empty for now) and then click on the left side (all there should be is black) now paste, control+v.

    You've just made an exact replica for menu2 from menu1.

    The linking:

    go to menu1, drag your first movie onto My movie. Next select menu2, drag your second movie onto My movie.

    then go back to menu1, right click on My movie, get link properties, and for remote mapping change values to these, Menu = Last menu Next= Movie2 (your second movie) End= Movie2 (just the same)

    after this, go to menu2, right click My movie, get link properties, and mapping do this: Menu = Last menu Next = Menu1 End = Last menu.

    Your done. :P

    What you'll have now is a menu that will appear with just your title, My movie, the user clicks on this and the 1st movie starts, if they press next, it goes to 2nd movie, if they let it free run until the end of 1st movie, it still goes to next movie.

    After the 2nd movie ends, it goes back to your first menu where My movie is displayed. If the user hits next, the same thing happens.
