About overrides
An end action determines what happens when a timeline or motion menu finishes
playing. You can set only one end action for each timeline or menu, but you may want a
timeline or menu to behave differently depending on the way it was accessed. For
example, in this lesson, you want all three videos to play in sequence when the Play All
Outtakes button is selected, so you’ll set the end action for each timeline to play the next
timeline. However, you want to play only one video at a time when a scene is selected from
the Individual Outtakes menu. To make this possible, you’ll set an override for each
timeline. When a button on the Individual Outtakes menu is selected, Adobe Encore
DVD honors the override instead of the default end action for the timeline.
