Animating buttons - How to go to another chapter when
selected

B Watts,

You might want to give a bit more detail of how your Project is structured, i.e.
one Timeline with Chapter Points for each player, of separate Timelines, one for
each player, Chapter Playlists, Playlists, etc.

First, to echo the gurus here - do not set any Overrides, unless you understand
them 100%.

Next, a point with Animated Buttons: they will only show the Video from the
source that they are linked to, i.e. a Chapter, or a Timeline. You cannot have a
Video Clip in the Button, if that is not where the Button links - in case that
is what you are wanting to do. So if Button #1 is Joe Smith, that Button must be
linked to the Chapter, or Timeline featuring Joe Smith and not another Asset.

Bill,

One Timeline and one chapter for each player.

In previous DVD's I started each chapter with a jersey number that is in a
static button.

Rather than start the animation with the jersey number and then the title to a
clip (for each game I have a 4 second title with date, team score etc) I would
like to have a highlight of their best play in their button.

I have gotten this to work with the first player(by adding two more chapters
before the next player's chapter and using this chapter for animation and
setting the end action to go to the player's chapter) but when the button is
selected things go wrong. The animation that is in the button plays full screen
and then jumps to the start of the player's chapter. I could live with this but
when I add a second player using this same technique things seem to go wrong. I
may of had some overrides that are the culprit.

From what you said what I am trying to do may not be possible but I wanted to
give it a try. Thank you.

Create or import a duplicate of the menu in After Effects or Premiere Pro and
then add inset videos of the best highlights to each player's button graphic.

Jeff,

Thank you. I am starting a new project tonight and will try and incorporate your
suggestions.
