Assigning the First Play Element

In addition to using the Disc Inspector or the Connections tab, you can assign your
project’s First Play element directly in the Outline or Graphical tab. The First Play element
is the one that plays when a DVD player begins playing the project.

To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab
Do one of the following:

µ

Control-click the disc element, choose First Play from the shortcut menu, then choose
the First Play element from the submenu. This method allows you to select a specific
button (menu), slide (slideshow), or chapter marker (track or story) within an element to
play from.
