After countless posts to this forum as well as the Vegas forum, I think all the information I've been reading (and printing) is making sense.
If we want a menu consisting of one button that plays all and separate buttons for each section of the video, this is where one would drag the same video clip onto the menu multiple times. Within those menus, we can set in and out points so that each individual menu plays a specific part of the video. When it stops, the main menu appears again.
If we want to jump to a specific scene, we insert the scene selection menu. Let's say there are 5 of them. We select any one of those we want and the movie begins playing at the start point for that respective scene (let's use scene 2) then plays the remainder of the entire video.
I've learned how to manipulate buttons with or without text and also add a background photo to the menu page.
The only other thing I am curious about at this point is the playlist. I inserted one and have read a little about it in the program help (on my pc, not online) and am not sure I understand just what this does. I'll read more about that in the forum some other time; however, if someone wants to explain them a bit here, that'd be great.
One more thing, how long are the posts available in the forum? I received an answer to one in May of 2007 but when I search for that subject, the post is not found. Fortunately, I printed a copy, but was just wondering if they are only available for 90 days or something.
Thanks again - you've all been a great help.
