Encore CS4 Loop Point goes back to beginning

Hi all,
Thank you for your time reading this. I've searched the forum and didn't see a resolution for this type of issue. Please accept my apology if it is noted somewhere and I didn't find it.
I created a Motion Menu in After Effects CS3 that is 00;05;07;00
I then saved the layers as a psd files (I didn't create buttons within AE)
I created the buttons I wanted within Encore.
Turned off all of the layers in Encore except for the buttons that I created
I created an AVI file out of the After Effects composition which is set as the Motion menu in Encore
The only problem that I am having is that when the video ends it goes back to the very beginning of the motion menu instead of the Loop point I set at 00;00;14;00 (14 seconds if I did that right)
I have Animate buttons checked
Loop point: 00;00;14;00
Loop #: Forever
On the basic tab, for both End Action and Override I went to Specify link and chose the Motion menu(AVI) that I created. I checked the box at the bottom "Set to Loop Point"
I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. This is my first time with a Motion Menu, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Thank you for your time on this
Best regards
Jeff

Jeff,
Thanks for explaining.
I'm now using CS5 and I'd heard the two menu thing wasn't necessary any more so:
A week or so ago, I was trying to figure out the same thing. I posted this question here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/852185?tstart=30.
Unfortunately, there were no answers, and by then I had found in the Encore Help under Loop point (as you did) this group of instructions at the bottom
"Set menu loop back
You can set a loop point in a motion menu to a point from which you want the motion menu to loop, rather than the beginning. This is useful when the starting point and ending point of the motion menu are separated by a long interval.
Select the menu from the Menu panel.
On the Properties panel, set the loop point.
Select Specify Link from the End Action Options menu.
Select the target from the list, and then select Set To Loop Point, and click OK"
However, I can't get this to work similar to you problem. That is, if I select the "Play all, Scenes " menu as the target, since it has a motion menu, I can select "Set to loop point", since it's not greyed out.
However, if I select the next menu "Scenes" with no motion menu, the "set to loop point" is greyed out. If I select the Play all etc with the motion menu, then the loop point doesn't work ie it still loops back to the beginning of the motion menu.
I'm not sure what the work "taget" means from the last sentence in the suggestions.
I was hoping an Adobe person would chime in, but so far no luck.
I'm doing this in a SD project and not BluRay.
Sorry to ramble.
John

Timeline playhead goes back to beginning when it hits end

Is there a preference or something somewhere I need to
turn off to prevent the playhead in the timeline from
going back to the beginning of the timeline and start
playing again from the beginning, after it plays through
the entire timeline once and it's the end?
Thanks.

Why not mark it as 'Answered' (which you should do anyway) then post what you did to fix it. That would help others who encounter the same problem.
Ctrl+L toggles timeline looping.

Stopping clip from going back to beginning

When I watch my video in canvas, instead of stopping at the end of the sequence, it goes back to the very beginning. I don't know how to turn this off. I want to keep the playhead at the end, so I can add more video to the sequence. Thanks

You don't add 2 video clips in the Canvas.
You either drag your clips straight from the Browser, Viewer or Canvas into the Timeline.

*Flash animation looping but going back to first frame {want to hold on last frame}

I came across this article on looping animations = http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-loop-three-times
I'm a novice with flash and just trying to plug thru to get some ads up and running for the first time.
Everything worked for me in the article...the one thing I wanted to do but haven't found an answer to is how to stop the animation on the last frame after looping is complete, instead of automatically going back to the first frame??
What's the easiest/most effective way to do this?
The stop script does not work...still goes back to first frame.
For all my flash ads, I've imported an FLV video...so don't know if it's some function for flv's/video's that auto-rewinds to first frame...
Thanks so much, really appreciate any insight on this.
The sooner you can catch a minute to get back the better

Ok...not working for me - prob. b/c I'm missing something again.
What I did was...
1) Renamed the instace of replay button = "replay_btn".
[not sure if that's correct...guessed b/c you reference it in the code]
2) I placed this in the action code on action layer on last keyframe =
var loopNum:Number;
loopNum++;
if(loopNum%3==0){
stop();
your_replay_btn._visible=true;
} else {
your_replay_btn._visible=false;
3) I placed this in action code on the replay layer on last keyframe =
your_replay_btn.onRelease=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
What happens is the replay button still flashes at the end of each loop and the loops just continue...it doesn't stop at 3.
I also get this error =
Can you break down what I'm doing wrong and how to fix...need to get this out asap.
I truly appreciate your help and time so far on this...big thanks kglad!

Is there a way to prevent store from going back to beginning when browsing aps

I'm on an ipad2. When I browse a category in the app store and find something I would like to know more about, I tap on it and it brings me to the detailed page. After viewing the information I want to go back to the list of apps. When I do it takes me back to the beginning of the category at app number one, I then have to go thru. Page after page to get back to where I was previously, if I'm on app 556 of 3456. You can see that it would take a while. Is there a way I'm missing to take me back to where I left off?

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

Shuffle goes back to begining when switched off

Is this the norm? My shuffle doesn't remember where it was on the play list when it is switched off and on again, unless it is on shuffle. It returns to the begining of the play list each time. Also on shuffle it doesn't play the whole play list and seem to be in a 'loop'.

I have the same problem. everytime when I switch my ipod off an on again it starts at the beginning and not at the song i've heard befor. I have also restartet and restored my ipod yet, but also this don't work. I also do not press pause befor switching off my ipod, but all this does not help. do you have any other solutions?

Crazy little bug: audio inexplicably goes back to beginning

I imported a video clip from my Canon T3i in the standard .mov format with the audio recorded through a microphone onto the SD card in the camera.
I play the clip in Quicktime or other programs--no problems.
However, when I import the clip into Premiere Elements 10 about 2 minutes into the video the audio inexplicably restarts from the beginning. So, of course, everything is out of synch. Makes no sense.
I have tried to make a copy of the video clip and re-import that. I have restarted both Elements and my computer. I have tried to create a new project. I have made sure that the settings are correct--right video and audio settings...
I am at a loss. Thanks for any help.

Did you Copy over the full folder structure from your SD card? You will want to do that, and not just Copy over the media files. PrE (and PrPro) uses some of those other files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio Recording problem when pause, goes back to beginning of recording

I audio recorded lecture. When I pause or stop, then resume, audio recording starts from the beginning instead of from where it was paused. WHY?

Encore CS4 Button & Loop Issues

I am building a DVD in Encore CS4 and have two issues. The DVD consists of a main menu with one button linked to the main timeline (3 min 45 sec) and a video(1 min 2 sec 21 frames) linked for the menu to have motion along with an audio clip with the same run time. The video and audio were exported from Encore CS4 as MPEG2-DVD.The loop point is set to 9 sec 11 frames and is set to forever.
Issue 1- When I try to preview the project in Encore before burning it starts as it should but stops at the loop point (9 sec 11 frames into it) and plays from the beginning. When I burn the DVD the loop works properly but I can not see it in the preview prior to burning. I wasted a couple of discs lining up the loop point due to no preview. I should also note that
Issue 2- When the DVD is burned and played it loads the menu which plays as it should. At the 9 second mark a button appears signifying the loop point which when selected begins the actual video, as it should. After the video finishes and it loops back to the 9 second mark the button vanishes. The only way to navigate at this point is to hit the top menu button which starts it from scratch.
I went back to a test burn I made and the button remained continuously after looping. What could I have hit that is now making the button vanish? And what can I do to get a full preview before going to build?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Cole

1 is a problem. Encore's preview capabilities have never been flawless. Use rewritable disks to avoid coasters.
2 is new, but I can't think of anythjing off hand to explain it.

Encore CS6 and loop point bug

Hello,
does anyone know if the new Encore has fixed the black video, or unwanted pauses, (that happened playing loop point menus) of a BluRay disc burnt with the previous versions CS5 and CS5.5?
Thanks in advance
Giorgio

Actually I one of each. My rendering crash is with blu-ray, and my motion menu playback going to black is for a DVD.
I called tech support and they want money to work on non install issues.
One support person on the forum asked me to attach the dump file, yet this forum does not have a way to do so.
One support person listed his e-mail address but it is incorrect.
Only quick solution is to go back to CS5.5.

Setting motion menu loop point to 1 second or under causes Encore CS3 to crash

Has anyone else had this problem? I created a motion menu that I want to loop to a point just 24 frames after the beginning (the motion background fades in over 24 frames), but every time I try it causes Encore to crash when I go to preview the DVD and get to the loop point.

No.
VOB files (or Video OBjects) are the multiplexes for the timelines, and also (in the VTS_xx_0.VOB) the menu files themselves.
IFO (or InFOrmation files) tell the player what should be there.
Cells are the smallest part a menu or a timeline can be broken down into, and they need to be at least 1 second long.
(If you could see "under the hood" and have multiple cells in a motion menu, and a return call is made (after the movie has played) to cell 2 ignoring cell 1 (which could be, EG, a copyright warning or whatever) you might see:
CallSS VMGM (menu ROOT, rsm_cell 2)
which would tell the player to return to the Root menu at the second cell, bypassing the first cell completely.

Jump back to meny loop point?

Hi,
I am making a dvd, and in the menu I have a video, that eventually has menu buttons. How do i set the DVD, so that while watching the DVD, the user can hit the 'Menu' button on their DVD player, and then menu will show up, but only at the loop point?
As of now, when the user hits the menu button, it plays the whole menu over again, including the video at the begining.
Thanks,
Robbie

doing a quick search of the forums should yield this answer.
in dvdsp 4 you create a script with a jump command that goes to your menu and you can check the start at loop point box. Set this script to the menu and title buttons of your remote control in the disc inspector.
everything before DVDsp4 you need to create a seperate menu that just contains the looping portion of your menu and set this as the title menu.

Is there a way to view earlier messages in a thread without going through each day? Also, can you make a photo album from the same text thread without going back to the beginning?

How to make main menu start at loop point when you link back to it?

I have a main menu with a an intro, after the intro I have put a loop point.
But when I link back to the main menu, it plays the whole intro.
How do I let the main menu start at the loop point when I target a button back to it?

Jake:
English is not my native language (I used Wikipedia to understand RTFM !!!).
I used to copy&paste some lines from the manuals when a post can be answered directly that way (why to write it again if it's well written there?).
This is my "last upgrade": I uploaded some captured images from the manual to use easier in this kind of frequent questions. I like to show that the information was right there in the manual . . . but I really find the expression RTFM a little hard !
