Menu Templates for DVD Pro

Does anyone know of a good source for additional menu templates for DVD Studio Pro?

I've been looking too-I've seen those, but they mostly look pretty cheesy. Any other options?
Also, I've recently upgrade from Final Cut HD Production Suite to Final Cut 5.1 Studio, and was surprised to find NO new templates in DVD Studio Pro 4. Is that correct, or did I not load everything properly?

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    Better to post in the iDVD forum here.
    That way you can get feedback from iDVD users. This forum is for troubleshooting Mac App Store issues.

  • Went through setup for DVD PRO still not working

    So I have done what are the protocalls that are appropriate for DVD PRO and the problem now is that I cannot drag my compressor file into DVD PRO.
    It just bounces back to Finder or where ever else I find it. I give up don't know what to do now I am stuck. Thanks for everyones help. Also I still get the
    incompatible format pop up-I am totally against a wall-do not know what to do at all.

    I captured from mini-dv tape so I used dv 48khz or dv ntsc for my setup codec. I used send to in FCP to compressor. I used best quality DVD 90 minutes in Compressor. I am working with NTSC. I imported my compressed project clicking on asset. When I did this I get a box that pops up and says incompatible format.
    Problem is I have no idea how to get a compatible format or what they are talking about since I followed the
    correct protocol or at least it seemed correct to me. I know it is something I am missing-I just do not have the
    knowledge to trouble shoot this particular problem. So that is where it stands of this moment.

  • Is it possible to make a template for DVD-SP?

    I know I can make templates in Motion and send the finished product eventually to DVD-SP, but can I make a template with drop-zones etc specifically to work with DVD-SP?
    I made one in Motion but the drop zones won't work in DVD-SP like they do with the existing templates.
    Thanks,,

    Sorry for not understanding the part about template creation outside of DVD SP.
    Basically, I create templates as above, (in DVD SP) with place holders for those effects that apps like Motion creates. It really isn't that much more work, once the place holders are present in a DVD SP project file, to add those assets to DVD SP from other apps.
    I personally have all of the links between the tracks and menus already in place and then just drop in the assets in the existing tracks and menus, once added I do a build, simulate and almost always am able to burn immediately. The only menus I have to generate are the scene selection menus, (which DVD SP automatically creates from a menu template I've already lay out in in the custom menu, templates tab. The scene selection menus almost never need any help, due to placement of elements in the custom menu template I created originally for this project/template file.

  • Best Encode for QT for DVD Pro

    I want to know the highest form of QT file for using as a final product in DVD Pro. I do not use HD, but want to create the best look possible, not sure in all the export options, if there is one to choose for the best resolution.

    File/export/QuickTime Movie... then use "current settings" and include audio and video. It needn't be "Self Contained" if you're going to encode it on the same computer that the original media is stored... This is the cleanest way to export a movie for encoding. Any other option recompresses the video and it can only look worse. The "Self contained" option is just as good quality wise, but its a lot larger file because it actually contains the media. The "non" self contained movie is a reference movie... smaller, and references the original media files so it's not transportable to another computer, where the "self contained" movies are transportable and will play on any computer.
    Open that file in DVD SP, iDVD or Compressor for the encode.
    In reality if you're using DVD SP to author the DVD, the very best encode is done directly from FCP to Compressor... file/export/Using Compressor.

  • Is there a way to create a dropdown menu template for metadata entry in Bridge?

    Currently running CS5.1

    This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5.  I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
    To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
    Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

  • How to encode Final Cut Sequences as MPEG-2 for DVD Pro

    I am using Final Cut Studio (non-Universal version)
    I am wanting to encode a Final Cut sequence
    as an MPEG-2 for DVD Studio Pro 4
    I don't want to render the Sequence, I merely
    want to select the Entire Sequence and encode
    it as an MPEG-2 wherein I can adjust the settings
    custom-style
    How do I do this?
    thanks

    QuickTime MPEG-2 is no longer included in new installs.
    Read Apple's info doc.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301871
    Because of the superior capabilities of Compressor, the QuickTime MPEG-2 encoder is superfluous and is not included with new installations of DVD Studio Pro 4 or Final Cut Studio.

  • Additional Menu Templates for elements 12.1

    Are there any additional templates available for Premiere Elements 12.?

    Michael Stehly
    For Premiere Elements in general....
    To meet your specific menu needs, best customize Adobe existing ones or create new ones from scratch using Photoshop CS or higher.
    The following will give you some idea of what can be done. Please see list of links at the bottom of that blog post.
