Menu problem

How do I get the introductory or main video to play for 30 seconds & then either 1./ display a still that has scene selection menu's placed on it or 2./ Have the last frame of either of these do a freeze frame & have scene selection menu's placed on it.

I have put the first play video as the first thing into the project & want
it to finish playing & then link onto some static vision so that the viewer
can make a choice from the scene selection menus. I have been unable to set a link from the first play clip to anything else. All I have managed was to get was to introduce the main video & a scene selection menu onto t., but this has to link to the first play clip.

I feel that it's just a very basic simple thing that I am missing.

You can do one of two things:

1) Create your intro video so that it "ends" with the frame you want, then use that last frame as the backdrop to your main menu.

OR

2) If you want to get a bit more fancy, incorporate your "buttons" or links into your intro video and then pull the last frame in like above with highlights over the links.

I put this together as an example of what it turns out looking like. The "video" is the intro, and as soon as you see the highlights, that part is the actual menu. I set my last demo DVD up entirely like this.
