Hi all,
When I preview my project the first page plays the audio I set, no problem. The chapter page plays something else, a generic sound track of its own. Could anybody please point me in the right direction so I can play what I want on the chapter page or at least the same as the first page?
Thanks guys.

Hi there -

You've probably clicked "Apply" rather than "Apply to All" when you've selected the music.

If you click "Apply" you'll get the music you selected on the Root Menu & the music assigned to the template on the Chapter menu.

If you click "Apply to All" you'll get the same audio on Root & Chapter menu pages, apart from other music that may be built into some templates with opening videos.

In PD, you can't select different audio for the root & chapter menus.

Cheers - Tony

Excellent, see how easy it is when you know To be honest I'm a little dissapointed with the menu options, too constraining. I love the program but the menu options were much better in Corals program. I wish I could have it all on one page rather than have a chapter page like with the Coral and with the audio options. Oh well, I've bought it now, just hope for some patches?
Thanks Tony.

Hi again mrbothered -

I have an apology to make to you.

I previously stated that different music could not be applied to different pages in PowerDirector's menus. It turns out that's not the case.

Different music CAN be applied to different menu pages (Root & Chapter/Scenes). Thankfully, senior contributor Jeff (JL_JL) alerted me to this.

I'm happy to admit my error because I've learned from it. Thanks Jeff!

Here's a little tutorial showing how it's done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeIN84Xnyrk

Cheers - Tony
