Background video for menus'

Newbie: Want a standard scene as menu background for use in different movies. Do I have to edit and burn to DVD to import or is there a better way? Using PE9. Sorry if this has been answered numerous times before. Recording in avchd.

No. You just add it under the Disc Menus tab as part of authoring your DVD.
I show you step by step how to do this in my books. http://Muvipix.com/pe10.php
But basically, you select a menu template under the Disc Menus tab, then click to select its background in the Disc Layout panel. Once you do that, you'll see the Browse button for locating the video or still you want to swap in as the background.

How can I fade in menus with background video?

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum (and to DVD SP) and have searched without being able to find out how to get my menus to work in this scenario:
I have a short (6s) background video that does not loop and ends on a still frame.
There are two drop zones, both with semi-transparent areas so that I can see the video play underneath. One drop zone has my title (as text in DVD SP) and the other has my "play" button.
I want my video to play for 5s and then have all the other elements fade in over the last second.
Here's what I've tried (thanks to suggestions from here and dvdstudiopro.digitalmedianet.com--which uses js that really bogs down Firefox, BTW):
A. I created a custom patch using PS that's a 6s .mov file that's simply a black mask that fades to white.-->this causes my drop zones (which are layered psd files with a mask of their own) to fade up, BUT the custom patch overrides the drop zone mask and causes the drop zone to become completely opaque.
B. I tried separating the background video and menus into separate menus in DVD SP. The first menu plays the video, then jump to the second menu which contains the last frame of the video as a still with the drop zones and button on top.-->this works but there is a noticable delay going from menu 1 to menu 2 and it looks horrible.
C. I created a 6s .mov file in FCP that does exactly what I want, but when I bring it into DVD SP, the quality suffers.-->I exported without compression from FCP and with, same bad results (especially in text).
Is there a way for me to get this to work gracefully?
I put a still of my menu with callouts at this url if it helps:

Thanks very much and I appreciate the wealth of info in this forum.
Cheers!

Hi
Read this note about Menu rendering in DVDSP:
If you edit all your elements in FCP, adding the graphic fade in/outs, texts, etc and then export it directly with Compressor to MPEG2, and use that file/s as Menu backgrounds, DVDSP will not re-encode these menus.
If you add in DVDSP text, graphic for buttons, drop zones, etc it will need to render and encode the background again to add those graphics.
Take care of what video format you choose in FCP for your background edit. DV codec works really bad with graphic elements; you better choose DVCPRO50 sequence settings and export directly from FCP through Compressor. That way FCP will use the raw info from each frame and not the render files as if you export as Quicktime Movie.
Hope that helps !

Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

Good morning,
Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering
http://youtu.be/a6pJf2otwv8
I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Brandon,
you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
For example:

Looking for background videos

Hello all
I'm on the hunt for various background videos, I have found IStockPhoto and Getty Images, but I was wondering what other options I may have and, was hoping for a few recommendations, I'm not really looking for anything specific cause it really all depends on what project I'm working on at the time....
Thanks

Is joke, yes?
Anyone know where I can find a red and white swirling, falling into the vortex,
There are several presets and prebuilts within Motion and LiveType.
kinda cartoony looking type
You mean text? Can't imagine text doing what you're describing without many carefully applied filters. Since the text is customized by the user, no.
background to key?
You mean key in front of? Or you want to key out the background? Huge difference and we cannot possibly read your mind.

Edit encoding settings for menus with animated background?

Hi there,
I just spoke with german support and they mentioned, that there is no way I can edit the encoding settings of encore how to generate the needed parts for an animated menu.
In this case I have a PAL M2V progressive scan used as BG and after menu rendering encore has created a M2V for the menu with strange interlacing problems ...
There seem to be options in the "project settings" > "default transcode settings" dialog (translated form german), but they are grayed out. There seems to be one setting "lower field" and I can not change to "progressive" ...
Its hard for me to believe that there are really no ways of altering the encode settings for menus. Has someone an idea?

Because DVD is Interlaced and not Progressive, I would do the Export of that Motion Asset to Interlaced with matching Field Order. There is nothing to be gained by trying to force En to do things that are not allowed by the DVD-specs. It is an authoring app. and not an NLE, so it needs the best possible, DVD-spec. material to work with.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

Position Background Video

I think I know the answer to this question from googling, but I'd like to confirm that...
I would like to have a background video playing on in a window/viewport on one side of my menus. So far as I can tell, that's not possible in Encore CS5; if you attach a video file to a menu, it gets centered in the menu and you can't independently position it.
I was working around this problem by creating a background video that takes up the entire menu's area, but crops the video (actually a slideshow) into the area I want it to play in. That gets me the visual effect I want, but the size of the background video coupled to the number of menus I'm using it on runs afoul of the 1 GB menu size limitation for DVDs.
Has anyone figured out how to do this in a (disk) space efficient way? For example, could I use a video button with no action set as a placeholder for the "background" video?
- Mark

Create the video in premiere or after effects so that the "video" is offset and scaled as you wish. You can add the still background there or as a superimposed layer in the menu (but not menu background). However, the movie you export from premiere or after effects will be full screen (size to the DVD size), and if it is too long (or too many menus), you will exceed the 1 gig limit.
You might be able to thumbnail it, but where is the advantage?
Possibility that you can use that to place a smaller movie, but I don't know if it works that way. Worth testing.

Background video shows up black after burning.

Hi,
I added a video to one of my blank menus. In the preview it shows up correctly. But after I burned it to Bluray I could hear the audio only. The rendered .m2v-file in my encore projekt folder is just black, too. So I tried the same in an encore dvd-projekt and all worked fine. The rendered .m2y-file is absolutely correct. Why does encore render my backgroundvideo wright in a dvd projekt but wrong in a bluray projekt?
Thanks for your answers,
junk.box

Your background video ay have an issue:
Select the "wedding" group of the library templates. Bring in "Floral." This is a motion menu. Make it first play. Render motion menus. Does the background video play? If so, use the motion background for this one (NTSC_Floral Menu.m2v) in your other menu. Render motion menu. Does it play in yours? If so, you have a problem with your background video.
This was from this thread that explored some other issues if that doesn't work.

Background video in animated menu.

Have searched around the forums but can't find a definite answer to this.
I created an animated menu in After Effects with a background motion loop video.
Total length of 30 secs with button highlight appearing after 13 secs.
If I set the loop point in Encore for approx 14 secs the animated menu and button highlightetc all works ok
but the motion video in the background also stops at this point.
I assume this is probably correct but if not can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
Alternatively, if it is correct, are there any tricks which would allow the background video loop to continue for the full 30secs?
Hope I have explained this clearly enough.
Thanks .

Did you use any of these? If not, take a peek to see if you did it right. (I'm wondering if your still menu is covering the motion in AE.)

How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge ?

Hello,
I have video file in my computer SSD drive and i want it to play as background on my web page (page that i am creating).I did try to follow this video:
How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge Animate Using Edgehero - YouTube
but i cant follow 100% what he is doing.
Guide that i did try to follow is at this link: How To Create A Website Background Video In Adobe Edge Animate Using Edgehero - YouTube
Steps i do in Adobe Edge Animate CC
1.) Create New
2.) i click + sign under section Library >> Scripts >> Add JS File from URL...
URL that i am adding is: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js (URL is taken from site: Edgehero.js )
I add this link: http://www.edgehero.com/edgehero.js/1.2/edgehero_1.2_min.js to box that occures after i click on Add JS File from URL
3.) I go to Edgehero.js and from there i scrol down to section named as Media - Html5 video / Html5 audio
and i select from there this:
there is a code:
// this will set the video as background of the div/rectangle
backgroundvideo_1 ='movie.mp4';
// put new edgehero.js variables here
4.) I go to Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014 and right click on project and select Open Actions for "Stage"
and then i click on + sign and select creationComplete
This will open Stage window
there i will copy this code:
// this will set the video as background of the div/rectangle
backgroundvideo_1 ='movie.mp4';
// put new edgehero.js variables here
5.) Then i click on ++ sign under library >> Video
and i add video from my computer SSD drive.
Video is named as video3.mp4
Now i eddit the code in Stage window (See above)
code will look after editing like this:
Then i change under left side px to %
6.) Then i copy backgroundvideo_1 from Stage Code:
Then i select Rectangle Tool and mark the area (white box) and i click on small C icon
And the box that occures i type there backgroundvideo_1_mp4 autoplay
now when i use ctrl and enter i only get gray box that does not play video.
What am i doing wrong?

Here is the html file.
Note video file that i try to add is random training video from youtube, And file format is saved using this site:
How do I download and save a YouTube video to my computer?
this is only for testing as i am not gonna put that video on background to my web page. I am only trying to understand how to add video as background.

Page background disappears for a moment on page turn in pdf

In indesign my document has a gradient page background (created in indesign) on the master page to make it look like a book. But when the page is turned in pdf, the background disappears for a moment, leaving the page white, then the background appears again; it does this nearly every time page is turned, flashing white. Does this have to do with pdf or indesign layers? I have only 1 layer in the indesign document, and transparency blend space is set to rgb.

Everytime you change the page Acrobat needs to redraw all of the page elements. The dealy is probably a reflection of the amount off video memory available, as much as anything.

How to create background video in a persistent menu template

I'm working on an Extras project which requires a background video to be played in the menus. I can start the background video as suggested in this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5276546?tstart=0 but I can't get the video to play after returning from playing the feature. I think the event "iTunes Video Did Close" should be used to implement this action but I have no luck using it with the background layer. The event works fine if used in a normal page. Any input on this problem would be appreciated
Note:
The problem can be solved if I can somehow access the background video in the background layer using JavaScript (so I can fire the event in a normal page and start the playback using JavaScript) but I don't know how. Can anyone help me with this too?

This is very simple. It's two copies of the layer. The bottom (back) one has been scaled up with a blur effect.

How to add different background image for submenu items???

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to web design and CSS in particular. Here's my problem...
I've got a Spry horizontal menu bar (untouched as yet), and I want to have a different background image for my submenu items than that of my menu items. From searching the internet I think that I need to apply a class to the submenu item (please correct me if I am wrong).
How would I go about doing this and how would I assign the class to just the submenu items?
Also ideally I want to have my first and last menu items to have rounded corners on one side (therefore making a rounded edge menu bar), is it possible to have a different background image for individual menu items? If so, how?
Really appreciate any help!

Thanks for the link! I've managed to sort the background issue, and it seems to be working fine!
Just one little issue left to tackle...
I want my text to be centered in my top menu items BUT aligned left in my drop down menu items. I have managed this but the text hugs the left hand side. I've tried adding a little margin to the left but that doesn't seem to affect anything???
Here's my CSS... Any ideas which class I should be targeting or why adding the margin isn't working would save my tearing the rest of my hair out! thanks! (screenshot attached).

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Help centering background video in fluid grid layout inside div

Hopefully this all makes sense. I am trying to center the background video (the animation on the website towards the bottom)... I have tried all sorts of things to try and center this. If it can't be done, it can't be done. The banner on top works as should. If all else fails I will just not use a fluid grid page and that will be that. I self taught myself Adobe After Effects to make that animation (took me a month and 1/2) and I have self taught myself Dreamweaver.. coming from Frontpage and Expression Web.
Here is the website (thank you in advance for your input):
http://a1customcomputers.com/Web%20Development/A1CC/Main.html
I just tested it and it's not playing how it should.. I'll figure that out later but where it says "Enter", that is what I need centered. Thanks

Not trying to argue with you and I know you are only trying to help and I know that you know ALOT more about this than I do.. you do... I don't know if background was the correct "place" to call it.. but nevertheless.. what I beleive it is, is in the background.. and maybe that is part of the problem. It is supposed to be called from a JQuery plugin, and where I have it now is in a "div [div2]" in the "gridcontainer". It was working and my latest attempts it was working great.. but wasn't centered. But I've changed a bunch of code around lately and so that is why it is not working right now... The "Enter" that you see on the link I provided is the "poster". When I get a chance I will work on it and get the animation working again.. or back to normal.. just not centered. At first I was thinking "centered vertically".. and so for like a week, maybe longer.. everthing that I was searching for and trying was for "vertically center a div".. then it hit me.. you jacka$$.. you want to horizontally center it... Haha! Again, thank you for your input.

PE3 DVD Menu Background video quality

Hi,
I'm creating a video for DVD and have got a 15 second AVI file I am using for the DVD menu background.
I've added it in the Create DVD section and it all works fine. However, when I view the created DVD the quality of the menu video is horrible. Lots of compression artifacts.
When I look at the VIDEO_TS folder the VOB file for the menu is about 6Mb.
If I create a movie using the same 15 second AVI as the main movie (and no DVD title) then the SAME 15 second AVI becomes a 15Mb VOB file and looks much better.
a) Why is PE3 using such low quality when compressing video files to use as DVD menu backgrounds?
b) Is it possible to override it and make it use the same quality it uses for the main movie?
Many thanks,
Chris
PS I'm using Premiere Elements 3.02 on Windows XP.

Hi Steve,
The 15 second DVD menu background AVI was created in Premiere Elements in a separate project. I created some Titles with Motion paths, layered them and then added some music.
I then used File->Export->Movie... to save it as a Microsoft DV AVI which I then imported into the main movie project.
I then selected Create DVD and dragged the movie into the Menu Background place.
The project seems to work fine. The only issue is that the generated VOB for the menu is only 6Mb and very poor quality whereas if I create a DVD from the separate project where I created the 15 second title movie the same movie clip becomes a 15Mb clip (and hence 2-3x the visual quality too).
Note that the rest of the movie is fine. It's just the menu background that appears to have been badly compressed.
