Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 402)

• End Jump: Choose the project element to jump to when the marker finishes playing
(occurs just before the next marker is reached). This is typically left at “not set.” In most
cases, if you leave it at “not set,” each marker is automatically connected to the next
marker. This setting can be used by specialized projects and scripts that dynamically
control which parts of the track plays. See
Setting Chapter Marker End Jumps for more
information.
General Tab in the Marker Inspector
The following settings are in the General tab of the Marker Inspector.
Marker thumbnail
• Thumbnail: The thumbnail is the video frame where the marker is located. You can
drag the slider beneath the thumbnail image to move the marker to a new position.
• Save Still: Click to save the thumbnail image as a video resolution TIFF file. You can
import this file for use as a menu background or shape asset. This is useful as a way to
create a still image from a frame of a video asset.
• Zero-Based: Shows the marker’s timecode based on the timeline’s zero-based mode
(based on the timeline’s first frame being 00:00:00:00). You can reposition the marker
by entering a new value or using the arrows. The new position must correspond to a
GOP boundary—the arrows jump one GOP at a time.
• Asset-Based: Shows the marker’s timecode based on the timeline’s asset-based mode
(based on the timecode of the timeline’s first clip or a value entered in the Track
Inspector’s Other tab).
• Type: Select the function to assign to the marker. You can select one or all functions.
See About the Marker Types for information.
• Wait: Use this control to set how long the DVD player displays the last frame of the
marker’s video before exercising the End Jump setting.
• None: Immediately jumps to the End Jump setting.
