I've posted and answered various posts and thought maybe it'd be easier to begin a new post. I have a couple of papers of info I've copied from the forums and still can't seem to follow simple instruction.
One of my notes says to "add all clips to Vegas timeline to creat full length movie." Ok, let's say I have two clips and I add those. My next note is "once architect is open, save project. Then go to "Explorer" window and drag each individual clip into the menu. Rename clips as desired. Drag each menu entry onto the main project window, thus creating a menu button for each segment, which will appear on the final project."
I am assuming that by doing the above steps, each of the two movies will have their own button and start and stop at the respective movie. Is this correct?
Next, my other note says "if you want users to play each of four clips separately then return to menu" to add the clip containing the four clips/movies to the menu four times. Double click each to open on the time line then drag yellow flags from beginning to end to make new start and end points.
My current project is one continuous clip of 12 minutes. If I want to play 4 items within that clip, would I need to have 4 SEPARATE clips to add to the menu in DVDA?
I currently have 4 chapters and each is marked and each chapter marker named appropriately. I can select any one of those buttons in the menu and it will begin play at the proper point. What I cannot yet figure out how to do is have each clip stop at its end and return to the manu page. Maybe it is because I don't have four separate clips - or maybe I need to add the same clip four times as suggested above - then create the start/end points within each clip.
If I go to, say, chapter 3 in the continuous movie and attempt to adjust the yellow flags for in/out points, the remainder of the manu shows "broken chapters."
I sure hope I'm making myself clear. Once I can fully understand, it'll probably seem so easy but I just can't seem to master this task thus far.
