Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 432)

µ
Select a slide and select the Manual Advance checkbox in the Slide Inspector.
Select the Pause
checkbox on slides
you want to be
advanced manually.
The pause occurs at the end of the slide’s duration. If you have added an audio asset to
the slide, the audio plays and then the pause occurs. The viewer can press the Next button
or the Play button on the DVD player’s remote control to continue to the next slide.
Note: If the slide contains a transition, the pause occurs before the transition. When the
viewer advances to the next slide using the Play button, the transition plays and then
the next slide appears. If the viewer advances using the Next button, the transition does
not play, and the next slide immediately appears.
Setting a Pause on the Last Slide
The viewer may have problems when playing your slideshow on some DVD players if you
set the last slide to have a pause. Some DVD players do not react to presses of the Next
button once the viewer reaches the last slide, which leaves the viewer with no way to
activate the slideshow’s End Jump setting.
There are two methods you can use to avoid this problem and provide consistent playback
on all DVD players:
• Set the slideshow’s Next Jump connection in the Connections tab.
• Duplicate the last slide in the slideshow and set the new last slide not to pause.
Setting the Slideshow’s Next Jump Connection
Each element in your project has a Next Jump connection that is normally left not set.
The only place you can set a connection for Next Jump is in the Connections tab.
To set the slideshow’s Next Jump connection
1 Select the slideshow in the Outline tab.
2 Click the Connections tab.
3 Choose Advanced from the Connection tab’s View pop-up menu. Make sure the pop-up
menu next to the View pop-up menu is set to All.
4 Locate the End Jump and Next Jump items in the list of sources.
