Encore CS4: changing one thumbnail in flowchart changes all

Working in the flowchart, I have proper links between menu buttons and chapter thumbnails. But in attempting to set end actions and overrides, whatever I do to one thumbnail appears in all of them! Have I inadvertantly triggered some setting that locks all of my chapter thumbnails together? This happens whether I'm using the pick whip or dropdown menus.
A clearer example: I set the end action on the final chapter as return to the main menu. But the thumbnail for that now appears as a link from the first chapter and all the chapters now return to the main menu when completing play.
Any ideas? I've created projects before where the flowchart behaved normally, so I'm in the dark about what I've done wrong.

Thanks for the response, Stan. It does seem to be acting like all thumbnails are selected. Here's what the process looks like:
All Chapter thumbs appear to have a slight highlight, however the Chapter 3 highlight is more vivid. That's the one I have selected. When I change the End Action option to "Return To Last Menu"...
...all chapters have that option changed. Note that now Chapter 2 is highlighted and the optioned is changed.
Perhaps this reveals something: When I drag a link from the timeline in the project menu to the Chapter 12 thumb (which should, I think, produce the action of beginning the video all over again when Chapter 12 completes) instead of adding a thumb after Chapter 12 indicating that action, it adds it to Chapter 1:
Same thing happens when I drag a link from a chapter marker in the timeline. No matter what chapter thumb I drag it to, it links after Chapter 1.
I have used this technnique in other projects with success. Not sure what is happening here, but I went to my chapter playlist like you suggested and , like you said, there I can create individual actions for the chapters without affecting them all! My question now is, am I using the playlist properly? See below:
I can make my desired end action changes in the left window (Master Timeline) but not in the right (Chapter Playlist). Am I using this correctly?
Sorry to make this so exhaustive, but you're my only reply and you seem to know what you're doing. I guess the best thing is to explain exactly what I'm seeking to do: I want to have users click Play All and have the video play through all chapter and return to the menu. If they click on individual chapter buttons, however, I want that chapter to play and then return to the menu. Can you tell me the most expeditious way to do this?
I'm sure my confusion is the product of ADHD-driven learning of Encore piecemeal as I go, instead of systematically educating myself through the tutorials. There's a lesson here somewhere!

Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop

I am creating a menu using Encore and Photoshop. I Used the Encore Libray to create a blank background and also created a series of buttons adusting them in Photoshop CS4. However, when I try to change the background with a new jpg or psd file I open the picture in Photoshop but not as the new background layer I am trying to achieve. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Dear Bill,
Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I don't think I am explaining my problem correctly so if you have the patience I am sending you this little "Jing" movie which will show you my problem

Subject: Change Background in Menu Creation Encore CS4 and Photoshop
There should be no problem when adding the image of your choice, with Edit in Photoshop.
When you choose Edit in Photoshop, several things happen:
1.) a TMP PSD for that Menu is created.
2.) links are created between En and PS
3.) PS is launched, and that TMP PSD is then Opened in PS.
When one has edited that TMP PSD in PS, they must do a Save to allow those links back to En*.
If you are doing a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, those links will NOT be followed, and the Menu will NOT update in En.
Good luck,
Hunt
I have encountered some instances, where a single Save does not follow those links. With experimentation, I have found that 3 Saves (Ctrl+S) will force those links to be followed, and the Menu updated in En. Not sure why this happens sometimes, but 3 seems to be the "magic number," at least for me.

Making changes in cs4 then to encore cs4

hi i thought when i make a change in my project in cs4 such as a small edit it would also go to the encore cs4 proj i created am i right or wrong ?

Good point Jeff.
To the OP, here's a look at the WAB:
I find it very easy to hit the \ (Backslash key) to zoom out on the Timeline, and then Dbl-click on the little block in the middle, to expand the WAB to the full Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I get CS4 Change Quality Presets to be used and remove black bars?

In Encore CS4 I CAN change the quality preset to what I want, but then when I go back to the project it does not stick. I tried to get to transcode settings, but they are greyed out. There does not seem to be a way to "USE" the quality preset I have saved!
This is a single video clip that I sent to Encore from Premier Pro CS4 so I could make DVD and BD's. However it seems I am unable to make a DVD at 4 Mbps (so I can combine this Premier Pro Project with another on a single DVD) no matter what I try. Also I notice the BD I made was not m2v like I am used to in CS3, and therefore are not sure I can combine it with a menu and another clip on a single BD as I have done numerous times in CS3 Encore.
I also notice as I look at preview, and then also when a made a default setting DVD that there are black bars on either side of the picture. This was a 1440X1080 60i project in Premier Pro CS3 and I am desireing to make ait a 1920 X 1080 DVD.
Neither of these were problems in Premier Pro CS3 and I am thinking the way around this is to spend the day or two and redo the project in CS3. I have done many projects successfully in CS3 and mistakenly thought I could just pick up the project in CS4 and be successful again. If anyone knows how to resolve these in CS4, it would save this extra work, if not, I will join the crowd with CS4 "issues" and go back to CS3.

First, on the black bars. I do not want them at all. I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side. Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved. I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource... When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out. I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does. I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works. Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3. I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster. Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial. So first rip every Adobe product off my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done. Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event?? It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time. But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars. Any help??

I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar. I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts". But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days. I want to change that in my calendar. When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event. no problem....just this single event. but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event. can anyone help with this??? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program??? i used to do this and never had any problems. Thank you!

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

How can I change all of (or more than one) speaker note to a voice at once?

Hello...
I have a lot of speaker notes that I need to apply a specific voice to. How do I apply the same voice to all of the speaker notes in the whole project at once? Or at least more than one? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! I am working with Captivate 6.

Hi Vikram,
Thanks. That tip definitely helps! You just have to be careful when you use the CNTRL button and not highlight the name of the slide as you try to highlight the voices. If you do that, then the drop down box becomes “unclickable”. Unfortunately, when using the control button, it is sometimes impossible not to highlight the name of the slide as well.

Rs to do, and I selected the font for each 4s clip - now I want to change the font - is there a way to change all fonts on clips in one go?

Hi I am new to iMovie - and made a 35min film - quite pleased with it - I sub-titled it right through coz we work with deaf people - wanted my first movie to be accessible. Now I want to change the font on each clip - can I do this in one step - and change all the sub-titles to a different font - thanks a lot, Jane

Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project. And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip. Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad." When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as.
I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.

How to change all field font sizes in one go?

Hi Does anyone know how i can do this.
Someone created a form for us with fields but not all of the fields are the same font or size, how can i change them all without doing them one by one?
many thanks

Select them all by pressing Ctrl+A while using the Select Object Tool (a
black cursor), or by manually selecting the ones you want, then right-click
one of them and select Properties. You will be able to edit the common
properties of all the selected fields.

No. You cannot edit passwords all at once.

Will Adobe Encore CS4 burn MTS files to an external blue ray burner if I buy one?

Will Adobe Encore CS4 recognize/burn MTS files to an EXTERNAL blue ray burner if I buy one?

Internal vs external should not matter.
I have a burned to external with CS4, but it was a long time ago.
And most importantly, Encore is not a reliable burner for many users, and they, and I, use imgBurn rather than Encore to burn.
Also, "burn an MTS" file is totally different from authoring and burning. Encore (was it by CS4?) added a limited AVCHD passthrough option. I have not used it.

One layer style changing all the other layer styles? Turn this off?

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this but I cannot seem to find it. When I am applying a style to one layer in CS2, and lets say I give it a drop shadow that is different (say it's at 110degrees rather than 90degrees) compared with the other drop shadows in my other layers, the curent layer style will change all the other layer styles across the board. I've looked all over for some setting to change so each individual layer keeps its own style but I can't seem to find this. I want each layer to have its own style attribute and not change the rest, how do I correct this?
Thanks for your help!
Tegan

You need to uncheck the global light option in the layer styles dialog.

I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and lost all the changes and editing I had made to 4000 photos every photo reverted back to the original

A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!

Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
I was there when the tech rebuilt the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.
There are no stuck keys on my keyboard of my computer.

How do I change ALL cells in a Multi-Cloumn List box at one time ?

I would like to change ALL of the Cells in a Multi-Column Listbox at one time. Both, with the Editor and Programmatically. Any Ideas ?

Programmatically:
Use "Active cell" property node, create constant and type "-2" in both elements of the cluster constant.
Note: the first element is for the raw, the second for the column. -1 and -2 have special meanings.
-1: header of column (listbox has no header for the raws)
-2: all cells (of raw or column)
So for example:
-2;0: all cells of column 0 (with header)
-2; -2: all cells (with header)
-1;0: header of column 0
-1;-2: header of all columns

Changing all occurrences of one face?

I have a couple of women who appear multiple times in my iPhoto library who's names have changed due to marriage and/or divorce, so the same person's face is listed under two different names. Is there a way to change all occurences of a particular face to the same name, short of going through and changing each face one at a time?
Thanks for any help with this!
