End Action on final chapter

  • April 2, 2017

In Encore  cs 6 I have finally built a menu and it runs correctly in preview but when I go to build I keep getting
"End act...t execute because of end action on the final chapter point." which blocks the final build with the menu. I have changed the end action to virtually every option but no luck.
Any ideas?

Thank you,

Bill

You can remove the warning by removing the end action on the final chapter. Set the timeline end action to the last menu.

Are you using overrides?

Since Chapter Playlists have been available, the less trouble prone option is to use them.

Remove all chapter end actions. Set an end action on the timeline to go back to the menu.

The "play all" is your timeline (end action back to menu).

For EACH chapter, create a Chapter Playlist with only that one chapter. Then each chapter play button goes to that playlist. The end action for the playlist is back to the menu.

Do you have any end actions on any chapters? It is the final chapter that is the issue, but I need to know if you intended any.

Select that last chapter in the timeline or in the timeline panel. What does it say under properties?

Thanks for writing. I have each chapter leading into the next off the video option in end action. The last chapter was supposed to feed back to the menu and I tried both the video and menu options. It is an hour long film with 8 chapters. I just want viewers to be able to select their chapters off the main menu and for the end of the movie to show the main menu again. Sor it currently reads H1PV1 Menu:Default.
