Play motion menu 1st time only.
Here's another Encore question for everyone,
I have a short video playing when my menu comes up (I've done this, of course, through the motion tab). I'm using CS5
My question is this: is there a way that this video will play when the disc is first loaded, but when the user presses the "menu" button, the video is skipped and lands straight on the menu?
I believe I've seen this on pro DVDs before.
Thanks everyone!
Steve
I think to do this you want to have a timeline (not a menu) for the intro motion. Then when menu is pressed, it will go to your menu. If you are really wanting it to keep going until menu is pressed, just loop it to itself.

I created a report that displays a document name with a URL link to the document. 1st time to access it, works fine in both IE and Firefox, but the second time accessed, it hangs.
The only "unique" thing I am doing is wrapping the anchor in a paragraph tag with a title for the paragraph so that it displays a short description on mouse over. Seems like when I wasn't using the paragraph it worked every time.
I am using the following query for the report:
select '<p title="' || short_description || '">' ||
*'<a href="' || content_url || '" target="_blank">' ||*
content_title || '</a&rt;</p&rt;' content
from program_content
an example generated is:
<p title="One page list 5 reasons to standardize / purchase CRM OD for internal use.">Top 5 Reasons to Standardize on CRM OD</p>
Any ideas on why this doesn't work on a second access?
Thanks,
StephenHello
I think the usage of paragraph should be eliminated.
You need to use title in A tag

Play sound the first time only
Hello
I have an As3 simple game with navigation buttons. It starts off with short intro with sound. When the game loads and the player dies it goes to retry screen with button which when is pressed goes back to the game. The problem is that when that happens flash plays the music from the short intro when returning to the game. How Do I stop this from happening. Currently I have no code for the sound. I just added the music directly to the frame with the intro and that's it. So what code do I write for the sound to execute only once?Either stretch the music layer out to the entire main timeline and configure that layer to loop only 1 time (thus returning to frame 1 doesn't "change a keyframe"), do not return back to frame 1, or use code to play the sound. If the latter is the choice then there is no shortage of examples of how to play:

My Songs (Eminem,Just Lose It) stops after 57 second seconds and my other song (Jessie J, Who's laughing Now) stops after 1 minute 23 seconds. I think this might've happened because internet connection was lost while it was loading but I'm not sure how to help it and find a way to make it play fully threw.
Do these same songs play okay in iTunes? Were they originally downloaded from the iTunes Store?
Have you worked the suggestions in this Apple support document.

Motion menu first play not working
No matter what I do the first play motion menu either stops at the end or goes on to play a timeline on two different hardware players and in VLC (last two versions). The only player where it properly loops is PowerDVD 9 (which has its own problems with linked timelines). This is not a hardware problem. This is an Encore problem probably being caused by an inefficient layout of files on the disk. There is a possibility (slight) that this is being caused by removing assets and "saving as" to create two DVD5's from a DVD9. Despite the deletion of assets the "saved as" project files are about the same size as the DVD9 project. I wish Encore ws like Pr in that it could rationalize a project by importing it into a new project. Then again with all the problems people report with motion menus it may not have anything to do with the work flow.
Don't see any easy work around here except building the two projects up from scratch unless someone has a idea of what to try.
I wish this software would work better. It really is the worst of the Production Suite (and I use Pr as my everyday editor)Sometimes the end action will get locked into an asset if you build the project. Changing the end action of the menu after you have gone through the build process may not work. You might have to delete the menu from the project, re-import it, relink the assets and buttons, and it should work.
You are correct, Encore is not as polished of a program as Photoshop, but at least there are usually workarounds so you can successfully build a disc that works as it should. -
Hello Every time I create a motion menu the play buttons have a fuzzy outl
Hello
Every time I create a motion menu the play buttons have a fuzzy outline. I really don't like this and would love to know how to avoid it as it looks really bad and not crisp.
Here's how i do it:
1) I create the motion menu in AEX and add in the button here. I have the button coming in about 5 seconds after the start to give a delayed effect and this will therefore be the loop point I set in DVDSP.
2) I then export out a Photoshop layers file from AEX and then bring this file into Photoshop to make the overlay. I'm not sure if I'm doing this step correctly as I then go Image/adjustments/levels and make the play button black
3) I then make the menu an .m2v and bring this and the overlay .jpg file into DVDSP.
4) When I select the play button the edges go fuzzy. This particular PLAY button was the text PLAY in white, with a black outline. Maybe this black outline had something to do with it?? I've also had heart shaped buttons for example and this does the same thing.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks, MargieOne thing that could help is not using a .jpg which is compressed. A .tif may work better (to some degree).
Not sure if you are using text highlights or something else when you mention you make the button black. Larger text (20pt plus, Sans Serif) can often help. Part of it also may be the selection process of what you are changing. Sounds like you are sending out the highlights as a seperate layer by itself. If so you do not not to switch it to Black, depending on the color you can map it out in DVD SP.
Another thing is that if the highlight is in the motion menu (unhighlighted) the highlighing may be slightly off of the underlying item making it a bit fuzzier. Could also be colors.
On pt 4, not sure if you mean select as "I pressed the button for the action" or as just moving to the button. If the former, then there can be a slight shift as the DVD itself moves to different place. Feathering the black edges may also help.... -
Is it possible to have a video loop while audio plays in a motion menu?
Hi!
Here's the deal:
I have a seamlesly looping 8 second video clip for my motion menu, but the audio file for that menu lasts 1 minute. For rendering time/disc space and bit budgeting purposes I would like to use the video file as a loop while the audio file plays trough in my motion menu.
Is it possible to have the video file loop while the audio plays trough, or do I have to make my video 1 minute long too?
Any help will be appreciated!The video must also be 1 minute long too.
You could always loop the 8 second clip though.
Load up Premiere, add your loop & 1 minute audio clip.
Set 2 seconds silence at the head of the audio.
Loop your 8 second clip 8 times to give you a 64 second video clip.
This will give you 2 seconds of silence at the trailing end, but there is really no other way -

Quick time only plays 3 secs of my video
i downloaded a video and quickime only plays 3 sec of it
I too have video non-play problems ALL the time with video downloads. Sound is fine. The video starts and stops, but the sound continues on fine.
I'm wondering if it's a codec thing as I can download these non working .avi files to my Treo 650 palm phone and they play without problem. -

HI there!
I have a while loop, in which i am reading from/writing to a compact rio. Furthermore, i added a event structure, its the 1st time i'm using it so i'm a bit lost at times.
I have the event structure set up for all my button i want to trigger an event. However, i have some other code which i would also like to be executed, evebn though no event has been executed.
I noticed that the other stuff in the loop only gets executed the 1st time through the loop and when an event is triggered.
My question therefore is, how do i get the other stuff to execute as well?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Regards,Put the other code in the timeout event case. Wire some positive value to the timeout hourglass input. That code will execute everytime a timeout occurs. For instance, if you wire 100 into the timeout, the code in that case will execute every 100 mSec.

RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS will only work the 1st time it runs in the chain
I've created a deletion program via RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS the way it states so it can be ran from a process chain. It seems to work fine the 1st time the chain runs and then after that it doens't work. I did a debug of it my slection criteria for my deletion are not saving even though I do the F8 2 times like it says.
any ideas?I was able to fix our issue of it not deleting after the 1st run.
You can create the delte program using RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS. when you hit execute you will need to put in the data target and then select Generate deletion program and give it a name.
then you will need to go into the code it generated and comment out the line below. If this is not commeted out it deletes this from the table everytime and it doens't save your deletion parameters.
DELETE FROM DATABASE RSDRBATCHPARA(DE) ID L_UID.
Hope this helps -
has anybody figuyred out how to fix the 4:29 limit on the menu? i've searched and found topics that had no resolution going back to PE9.
ATR,
You are correct in that Adobe Feature Requests and Bug Reports seldom yield a direct contact from Adobe, unless additional information, or clarification is required.
Also, for some time now, Premiere Elements has been grouped under the Photoshop Family, for Feature Requests, where it was once a separate form, deliniated by the various actual applications, i.e. no "family" grouping.
The ~ 30 sec limitation has been around for some time now, and I have never seen a direct response as to "why" that limitation is implemented. In Adobe Encore (the full-featured authoring app, now available WITH PrPro), there is no such limit, and one can set the Menu Motion Duration to match the Duration of say the Motion Asset, whether Video, or Audio. There might be a limitation in Duration, but I have never encountered it in Encore. However, I seldom work with a Duration of more than about 2 mins., so probably have just never hit it?
I feel that my Motion Menus only need to play a limited Duration, as the user is very likely to make a Menu selection, by about the 2 min. time frame. If I want the user to experience a longer Duration, I will create what appears to be a Menu, but is really just a separate Video, with no interactivity. If, for instance, I want the viewer to watch an entire Video, before making a selection, or listen to an entire music piece, I would not give them the opportunity to click away - though it might "look" like they are on an active Menu. I seldom do this, however, as I want the user to have full control to navigate, as they desire.
Good luck, and maybe someone from Adobe can comment on the decision to limit the Duration of a Motion Menu to only ~ 30 sec.
