How to patch around bad footage in Encore 2.0

Question

I've been using Encore 1.5 for about 8 months, and have been evaluating the new 2.0 product for about a week. Overall it's much, much better than 1.5.
Today, while locating the chapter points in Encore 2.0, I discovered that one of the transitions created in After Effects had somehow gotten mangled. After thinking about it for a few seconds, I realized that I might be able to substitute new footage by re-rendering the Composition in After Effects, importing it directly into Encore, and putting it at the end of the timeline. This "trick" saved at least two hours of rendering time!
Here's a picture to better understand my layout.
Chapter 3
good footage
end action -> jump to chapter 4_patch
Chapter 4
bad footage
Chapter 4_after bad_footage
good footage
(more chapters)
Last Chapter
good footage
end action -> jump to root menu
Chapter 4_patch
replacement footage
end action -> jump to Chapter 4_after_bad footage
The chapter 4 button on the menu is linked to Chapter 4_patch, and the original Chapter 4 marker serves as the ending for Chapter 3.
The only downside of this is that Encore reports that the end action set on the timeline will never be executed. Thanks Adobe, for the much improved code.

Hi Skip,
Yes, if the last chapter has an end action and the timeline has an end action, the chapter end action wins. Not a downside, really, but the expectation that if you set a chapter end action, you want it to execute.
If you didn't set a chapter end action, then select your last chapter and examine it in Chapter properties. You can clear it from there.
Regards,
Joe
