How to Link DVD Buttons to a Timeline Using Adobe Encore

  1. Open the Adobe Encore program and open the project you are working on, by going to “File,” “Open,” “Go to Window,” and “Menu” to open the Menu Editor Window.
  2. Step 2

    Click on the selection tool in the toolbox. It looks like an arrow. Use the selection tool to select one of the buttons you have created in the menu.

  3. Step 3

    Each button relates to a video clip and each video clip need to be in its own timeline, with its own name

  4. Step 4

    For your first button, open the Properties menu related to that button by selecting the button within the Menu Editor Window. For example, if your button is “Play Movie” you want it to link to the timeline that contains the video footage for that movie. In the button properties menu you will see “Link” and next to it a drop-down menu. The drop-down menu contains everything that is in your project assets window. Select the name of the timeline that contains the movie from the list.

  5. Step 5

    Open your Timeline properties window by clicking on the timeline. There you will see “End” with a drop-down menu. Select the name of your Menu from that list, so at the end of your movie the Menu will come back up on your viewer’s TV screen.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat the above for each button. Save your work.
