Buttons for DVDSP

I am not a motion Pro. I have Motion 2.0 and DVDSP 4.0. I have a Template I have done in Motion 2.0 and want use it in DVDSP 4.o. how do I make the text that I added in Motion be a button in DVDSP.
In other words I have about 4 lines of text that "zoom in" that was done in Motion. I want these to be active buttons on a menu in DVDSP.
Not sure if this is DVDSP question or Motion Question so I post both places. Sorry.

Take a look here

It is a fade in, but same concept. You would need to make the final button text an overlay.

  • Export from final cut pro for DVDsp

    I was following the DVD step by step web page create a menu for DVDsp, and it say to export the movie from FCP as a background. How do I do this?
    It also says "remember make it an m2v outside of DVD SP". What is this and how do I do it?
    Thank you
    Vincent LeGrow

    When you expert from FCP the video can be used as a menu background. There are two things to consider:
    1) IF you are going to composite the text for the buttons within FCP then add a simple overlay for the highlights (using Photoshop or similar to create the overlay) then you canencode the footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and place it as a menu background with no worries.
    2) If on the other hand you are going to use the footage as a background in DVDSP and then add buttons from the palette (or anything else from the palette for that matter) then DVDSP will encode it when it gets built. If you use MPEG2 as the background it gets encoded twice and loses quality, so it is better in this case to use a normal .mov from FCP.
    Encoding outside of DVDSP - you should use Compressor or a better encoder for this. DVDSP can encode video, but it doesn't give you much control. The settings are there and will apply to any unencoded asset when you build (generally menu graphics), but you get a much better quality when you use BitVice, MegaPEG.X or just about any thing else to encode the video with. You also have the added advantage that the build time in DVDSP is reduced.

  • Creating Photoshop buttons for motion menus and photoshop menus

    Hi I need to create buttons in photoshop for both a photoshop menu and a motion menu on DVD studio pro program
    Can someone tell me how to do it on both different menus?
    I really need some DETAILS on how to do it. Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time

    OK, here's what I recommend you try...
    Create the footage for your motion menu background. In that footage fade in the button shapes and text for the buttons exactly as you want them to appear. Hold the final position of these buttons for at least 30 seconds. save an image of the still portion to act as a guide in photoshop. Encode that footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the still image in to photoshop and add a single layer to the file. On the new layer, create a shape of some kind (an underline, tick, circle, cross, box around, arrow, etc) next to the background button text. Make these shapes (for each piece of background text) black, and leave the rest of the layer white. Hide or delete the background layer and save the result as a .pict image. Import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the motion footage and drop it in to a menu. use the loop point in the property inspector to define where the 'still' portion of that footage begins. Now drag the .pict overlay image in to the same menu, but hold it a second until the contextual menu appears... set it as the overlay. Drag out button rectangles around the background text and position for the shapes in the overlay. Make sure the rectangles don't overlap, and set up the target for these buttons as well as the navigation between them.
    Use the property inspector to adjust the colours for the overlay - set it to be a simple overlay and in grayscale. What should happen is that when the menu plays the animated sequence starts first but as soon as the loop point is reached the overlay becomes active. The first button defined will be set as selected. You should now see the menu with the buttons faded in to position and the buttons should be clickable.
    When returning to this menu you may not want the viewer to sit through the animated sequence each time. Use a script (in DVDSP4) to specify that they return to the loop point only (the bit where the buttons are) or create a second menu that is identical to the loop point and send the viewer there instead.
    As you can see, there are several steps involved and I have made assumptions that you know something about menus and constructing buttons. It is all in the manual, but you will need to be familiar with Photoshop (or whatever image editor you prefer) to do this properly.
    You do not need to try to make four layer shapes and bring them in to the menu, and if you attempt to add anything else from the templates panel to this menu then the image quality will suffer as DVDSP builds the disc. If you do want to add other shapes and text to the menu then don't do the export to MPEG2... keep it as a simple QT .mov file.
    Please let us know how you get on after trying this method, and after reading up on those manuals

  • Livetype titles as buttons for DVD Studio Pro 4

    made a title in Live Type that I want to use a button in DVD Studio Pro 4. Is there a tutorial, or can anyone tell me exactly what I have to do to import it and make it a button in DVDSP 4? When I try to import it and drop it on a menu, the button is small but the surrounding button box is big. When I try and make the letters bigger, the button box gets bigger as well.
    All I want is to make just the letters bigger and not the whole surrounding box.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance

    That's not funny.
    No one posted because you can easily find the answer yourself in the DVDSP manual. Creating buttons for DVD menus is a complex operation if you want it to be. LiveType by itself is not appropriate for the task. LT will create some embelishments and animated fluff that you can use to augment the buttons you make in DVDSP. Scaling imported assets is covered extensively, if undecipherably, in the DVDSP manual.

  • My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?

    My safari menu bar is missing.  The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?  Thanks. 

    I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to.  I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
    I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
    And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

  • How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

    Hi everyone,
    I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
    To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

  • How to create buttons for each slide in slideshow

    I currently have a slideshow working with prev and next buttons,
    but would like to add numbered buttons for each slide at bottom of images,
    with a static number for the active slide that has a colored circle around that number.
    I can create static number with colored circle in Photoshop and add that to a layer,
    but it's labor intensive to do that for all numbers.
    Is there a better way to create the highlighted numbers for active slide?
    For numbered buttons that link to non-active slides, I can create numbers in Photoshop and import images into Flash,
    then convert to symbols and assign actions for them,
    But that too is labor intensive to do for all the numbers.
    Is there a better way to create numbered buttons for non-active slides?
    I'd also like to have a hover function on the numbered buttons,
    that changes from plain image of number to number with colored circle like I want to use for active slide.
    How do I assign a hover function to button symbol, that will load another image or symbol?

    Try to think in terms of having reusable symbols.  Think it thru before you try it.
    Use a movieclip symbol instead of a button.  Have a dynamic textfield in that movieclip for the number, and set the textfield to not be selectable.  Have one frame of this movieclip where it displays as the highlighted (selected) one and have the movieclip go there where you are on that slide.
    Use the textfield for the number--assign it dynamically so that you don't have to import an image for it.  Use as many of these movieclips as you need to for all your buttons.
    Have functions that reset all the buttons at once so that when you move to a new slide, the previously selected one goes back to mormal... follow that with setting the newly selected one to be in its "selected" frame.

  • Update Button for every Row of Report

    hello,
    is it possible to get an update button for every row of a report?
    After clicking this button, only this row of the report should be updated.
    thanks in advance
    dave

    Create a hidden item on your page. Call it somehow - P1_KEY. Create other hidden fields
    for the rest of the columns you want to update. Create a link per report line. This link will be
    inserting the primary key of your record into P1_KEY and the other values you want to
    update in the other hidden fields. It will branch to the same page and contain a request - i.e. UPDATE_ROW. Then
    you create a process - On Load Before Header - which will
    take the value from your item P1_KEY and update the record
    in the database by setting the the column values to the
    values in your hidden fields. This process will fire upon
    request you specified. However, this way you will not be
    able to update your text areas, since you will not be able
    to transfer this over a link. Also you need to be carefull
    about special characters.
    Maybe there is a better proposal than this.

  • My MacBook Pro 13in Mid-2010 won't start unless I hold the power button for about 10 seconds! Help Please!

    Hello.
    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid-2010):
    Processor: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
    Running Mac OS X 10.7.2
    Yesterday I opened my computer (was sleeping as usual) and the screen just flasehed white and the computer powered off. The magnetic electricity thingy was connected and was green, so it was fully charged, and connected to the electricity.
    Since it powered off, I tried turning it on again, and again, one second after starting to boot up, screen flashed white and the computer powered off.
    I read somewhere I should hold down the power button longer, so I did, and it booted up. That's why I am able to write this. But every time I turn it off or put it to sleep, it does the same thing when I boot up.
    If I don't hold the power button for 10 seconds or so, the computer won't work.
    Then today, I did a backup of my entie hard drive, just in case. Later, I started using Excel, and about 1 hour after I was on it, suddenly it got really slow. Like I would click on a program like Safari, and it would take over 30-45 secs to start and be ready. And my computer is usually really fast!
    I went on the Internet again, started in safe mode, boot up with option+command+P+R to reset PRAM, and nothing worked. Then suddenly on one turn-off/turn-on (since I can't restart because the computer only starts if I hold the power button for 10 seconds), again it is working at normal speed.
    What can this be? Any ideas?
    I really appreciate your time and help in advance

    Are you running the Apple-supplied RAM? Have you run Apple Hardware Test? I don't know what else you've tried, but this may be time to do a fresh install of Lion if you have not done so since installing Lion.
