Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 536)

Next Jump and Prev Jump
Tracks and slideshows have two settings, Next and Previous Jump, that can only be set
in the Connections tab with the advanced sources displayed. These settings define what
happens when the viewer presses the Next and Previous buttons on the DVD player’s
remote control.
While a track or slideshow is playing, the Next and Previous buttons allow the viewer
to skip forward or backward between markers or stills. A setting in the Connections tab
defines what happens if the viewer presses the Next or Previous button when there is
no next or previous marker or slide. By default, with nothing assigned to these settings,
nothing happens. This is the normal action used for most projects.
If you establish a connection to either of these buttons, there are two issues that you
must be aware of:
• You will no longer be able to set the Menu button action for each marker—you will
only be able to set it for the first marker.
• The DVD player will no longer display a play time for the track or slideshow.
See Setting a Pause on the Last Slide for information on using the Next Jump setting
in a slideshow.
Targets
The list of targets includes all menus and their buttons, all tracks and their stories and
markers, all slideshow stills, and all scripts. There are four additional commands that can
appear at the top of the list, depending on the selected source: Resume, Stop, Same as
Disc, and Same as Track.
See Target Details for a complete list of targets.
Default Connections
There are two types of connections that DVD Studio Pro makes automatically: linking
each marker in a track to the next marker, and assigning the same menu button action
to all of a track’s markers. These connections are not shown in the Connections tab and
can be overridden by assigning different targets while in the Standard or Advanced source
view.
Chapter-to-Chapter Connections
DVD Studio Pro automatically links the end jump from one marker to the beginning of
the next marker. This allows a track to play seamlessly through the markers. The end jump
for the last marker is not linked to any targets—you must set this yourself using the End
Jump setting.
