All chapters playing in thumbnail

[bluong]

Hi All

I have a wedding video and I want all chapters playing video inside the thumbnail on the main menu. I saw this on the comercial DVD. All the preview chapters auto playing and keeps looping until viewer hit that chapter to play it.
What I did was that I dragged the chapter video clip onto the thumbnail, it just blacks out and do nothing until you hit the thumbnail to play it. I want them play auto about 30 sec then loop back and keep playing until viewer hit the enter key on that chapter.
I have been searched for this information on Sony DVDA forum still can not figure out how to do it.
As far as I know, In addition to video clip that is created, we need some kind of highlight mask to make them work. Any idea how to do it ? My questions are
1. what is the work flow to get this work ?
2. Where can I create highlight mask ? is it in DVDA4 , Vegas 7 or Photoshop ?
3. How can I make them play auto in the thumbnail ?

Thanks so much for your advise/help

You don't need to do anything special in any other program. In DVD Architect, select each thumbnail, under Button Properties (on the right) select the Media properties, under Mask change the Style to Animated. That's it. The default style is a still image.

Johnny's right - simple to do. But - how do I get all my buttons to default to that (or any other) setup? I tried to "copy" and "paste attributes" but none of the pasta attributes (yes, I'm hungry - it's lunch time) selections seem to work in terms of pasting the style or other media/mask settings such as type of highlight to apply to a button...
