Must be too simple. My Search = zero
I learning, thanks to all of you who have helped.
Now I'm trying to put chapter selection bottons on my 26 second video menu. I know I can go to Photoshop for still menus, but what about video menus?? |
Your question is a but unclear. What version of Photoshop, Encore etc? Are you only trying to add buttons to a motion menu or are you trying to create the whole thing in Photoshop?
I have a general recollection that Photoshop versions since CS3 --- at least the "extended" versions --- allow you to edit motion video menus. Here's a reference that I found a long time ago that may help you: Creating a DVD Menu in Photoshop CS3 Extended | Layers Magazine |
Thanks Jay,
I had no idea that Photoshop could be used with video. Thanks for the tutorial link. Oh, I'm using CS4 Production Premium |

Encore is somewhat arcane, but if I can figure it out how hard can it be? Of course, tutorials help. ;-) |
Thanks Jay and Bruce,
I am now having success with the flowchart and a still menu in Encore. I was able to make a still menu and link the bottons to four chapter timelines, but following Jay's suggested tutorial and taking the video into Photoshop was not successful. I spent a whole day on it and tried everything Jay's suggested tutorial mentioned. I could get the menu template into Photoshop just fine, and I could see the layers with the proper + and =, but they just wouldn't work when I tried to put it with the video after I saved and exported it. I have gone over Bruce's suggested tutorial(s) many times and they helped me a lot in making a successful still menu.. However, I am still not able to get a video menu to work. I just can't seem to get the bottons to work in the end. Thanks to both of you, I'll keep working. |
