Montage looping - no options?

AGB Productions wrote on 5/14/2011, 8:54 PM
We created a nice montage for a forthcoming reception using Vegas, and the intent was for it to be continuously projected on screen during the reception, as a background when guests arrive. We rendered it out and imported it into DVDA (5.0 on one machine, 4.5 on another).

We could not get Loop as an end action. It goes to the selection button and sits there. We don't want our client to continuously send someone over to the DVD player every 10 minutes to hit the play button.

All the directions (HELP screen, printed material) said we should see Loop as an end object. We don't. It gives us no options. The "Loop Points" curlique is grayed out. What are we doing wrong?

The montage is pictures only, no sound.

Help?

Um, never mind. Was hung up on the word "loop" when all I had to do was identify a destination point (in this case, the beginning of the track). Dang semantics messed with me again ...

However, you wonderful editors of HELP pages might look again at the writeup of your HELP pages and software manuals. There will be other people not part of the intelligensia who might run into this issue ... thanks ...

If you have trouble digging the answer out of the Help files, this site has a wonderful resource called the Knowledgebase where most of your questions will be answered.

My book on DVD Architect Studio, on Amazon, also covers this kind of thing, step-by-step.
