Motion Menu Settings
The motion menu settings apply whenever you assign a video asset as the menu’s
background or add audio to the menu. See
Configuring Motion Menu Settings for more
details on these settings.
• Start: Defines the starting frame for the motion background. Use either the slider or
timecode field to set this value.
• Loop Point: Defines the frame that is jumped back to when the motion background is
looped. By default this frame is set to be the same as the Start timecode. This is also
the point where button highlights appear and the viewer can begin navigating the
buttons. (Because button highlights are still images, you may want to delay their
appearance until the buttons stop moving if you are flying them onto the screen.) Use
either the slider or timecode field to set this value. This value can also be set by a
chapter marker in the background video.
• End: Defines the last frame for the motion background. The At End setting becomes
active once this frame is reached. Use either the slider or timecode field to set this
value.
• Duration: Adjusts automatically to match the time between the Start and End settings.
Adjusting Duration only affects the End setting.
