Setting menu durations
Menus with a background video or an audio track “time out,” after a set duration. By default, menus with a still background and no audio display indefinitely. You can give still menus a set duration, and trim the beginning and end of menus that have a video background or audio track.
When a menu with a set duration ends, its end action dictates what happens next. By default, the menu loops until the viewer activates a button link, but you can change a menu’s end action to link to any other content in the project. See Setting title, playlist, and menu end actions for details.
To change a still menu’s duration:
- Click the menu’s icon in the Project window. The Attributes window displays the menu’s attributes.
- On the Attributes window’s General tab, use the Display options to change the menu duration:
- To make a still menu time out, choose Timed Still from the Type list. The menu’s duration is set to 30 seconds automatically.
- To change the duration of a timed still menu with no audio, drag the Duration slider or enter a time value in the Duration box. The minimum duration is 30 seconds; the maximum is almost 13 hours.
