Can I create a custom DVD menu in Premiere Pro 2.0?

I like the templates I have, but is there a way I can create a custom DVD menu in PP 2.0?

I would also suggest using the same general naming conventions for your Main and Scene Selection Menus. Names, like this: NTSC_abstract_s_mm.psd and NTSC_abstract_s_sm.psd. In this case, I would change the word "abstract" to indicate your Project, or similar.
Also, in PrPro 2.0, your Menus will be in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\DVD Templates\[Your New Folder].
Good luck,

Can you create a custom dvd menu with Premiere Elements 12?

I am giving this software a trial before deciding whether to buy. Is it possible to create your own custom DVD menu? I understand that you can "download" a template and customize it to some extent. But the customizing does not seem to allow you to delete or add elements, like graphics or menu buttons. I want to be able to delete graphics/menu buttons I don't want, as well as add or subtract buttons as I need for each project. Or, I would like to create a menu from scratch.
Is either method possible in Premiere Elements? Thank you for any assistance.

Thanks for the reply.
You can go with a one main menu set up and use main menu buttons. But, note that there are typically far less buttons on the main menu than on the scene menu. One maneuver is to switch the main menu with the scene menu to gain a buttons per page advantage. That is done by reversing the file names of the main menu .psd and scene menu .psd.
At the editing of the .psd level, there is also the choice to add more buttons per page to a scene menu and create text or thumbnail scene buttons.
One of the principles to keep in mind...no one movie in a multi movie Timeline can have its own Scene Menu page.
Of concern....you should have more flexibility than
In any case, I have discovered that I can edit the templates and then bring them into my project. So long as I save them as the same name, Adobe Premiere Elements doesn't realize that anything has changed.
Are you following any one of my blog posts. If so, please let me know which one so I can focus in where you may be overlooking some detail. It is best to work with copies of the original and place them in appropriate folders in the directory structure. In doing that I give the user created menu a new name to distinguish it from the original.
And, in versions 11 and 12, I do not like to save user modified menus in the Online Folder. I prefer the location where the disc menu installed with the program is located. See blog posts.
If your customization does not require the opening of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file (happens under certain plans), Photoshop Elements can do the .psd edit job for you, and you do not have to go to Photoshop CS or higher. There are Photoshop actions that might be used in Photoshop Elements to open Photoshop Layer Sets (as found in the disc menu .psd files), but I will not get into that right now.
Please review and consider. And, then we can go into more details.
Thanks.

Creating a custom DVD template for Premiere Elements 7

I have Premiere Elements 7, as well as Photoshop CS3. What I want is a very simple DVD title page that shows all 18 scenes in our movie - text listings would be enough - the point of the exercise is to make it easy for someone to click on a specific scene (I could use movie markers instead of scene markers, I guess, if that makes life easier) while giving a talk.
I cannot find instructions for doing that in either PE7 or Photoshop. Clearly am not looking in the right places. Can someone point me to useful instruction?
Many thanks,
ari

Ari,
Welcome to the forum.
One thing that tends to get in the way, when creating Menus for PrE is that PrE's authoring module (creates navigation, Burns DVD, etc.) is that it does things semi-automatically. To accomplish this, one needs to think of Menu Sets (a Main Menu and a Scene Selection Menu, that will be replicated enough times to fit the Project). If you look in the folder structure of the Library, you will see that there are two Menus, and their accompanying PNG's (thumbnail display for Create Menu organizer) for each title. That is done to accommodate the semi-automatic aspect.
Now, using a well-defined set of properties, one CAN create Menu Sets for PrE. There are also several additional Menu Sets available from Muvipix, including one with a Text-only Scene Selection Menu. These can be purchased, or can be downloaded free, if one is a subscriber.
One consideration, in your stated case, is that if you have a Widescreen Project, you can ONLY have 18 Buttons on any one Menu. If you have a Scene Selection Menu for 18 Chapters, then you have no room for a Back to Main Menu Button. If you have a Standard Project (4:3), you can have up to 36 Buttons on a Menu, so all is cool, so long as you can fit them into the area - NO element of a Button may overlap any element in another.
If one is creating, or editing a Menu Set, I strongly advise that they spend a great deal of time studying similar Menu Sets from the Library. There are many conventions that MUST be maintained, and if one does not, problems WILL occur.
This ARTICLE will give you a few tips on editing/creating PrE Menu Sets.
Steve Grisetti also has some useful articles on editing Menu Sets, on Muvipix.
For more options, regarding Menus and navigation, many like Sony's DVD Architect. One limitation of that program is that it does not use Photoshop PSD's for the Menus. I do not know about its Menu editing capabilities, or any limitations. I use Adobe Encore, and it does use PS Menus, and is also 100% manual, so I can set up any navigational scheme that I want - though I do this fully manually. Unfortunately, it is ONLY available bundled with PrPro, and not as a stand-alone.
Good luck,

Can I create my own DVD menu with Encore and a trial version of Photoshop?

I am finishing up a movie project and would like to create my own menu background. I guess I need Photoshop for this but don't want to purchase the app just for one little part of my project. Does anyone know if it is possible to create a "Photoshop file" sufficient for what I would need (in Encore for the menu background) but with using a TRIAL version of Photoshop?
Thank you!!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to create custom DVD Menu

Hi,
I know that starting from EL 11 it is possible through Photoshop EL 11 to create custom DVD Menu starting from scratch.
I fail finding on the Internet proper documentation for both creating it on Photoshop EL 11 and importing/using it on Premeiere EL 11.
I sometimes wish to create a Web DVD to put on the Internet and all I need is a nice background picture and a Play button.
how to do so? Where can I get detailed documentation and vidoes?
Thank you

The only problem that you might have, other than getting all of the naming and structural aspects correct (very specific), would be with the creation of Layer Sets in PSE. I am not sure if they have been added to PSE, and they are necessary for creating the Buttons. As I use Photoshop, and do not own PSE, I cannot tell you whether Layer Sets have been added.
This discussion, in the Photoshop Forum, goes into more detail on creating Menu Sets for PrE, in Photoshop: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2490846#2490846
I strongly recommend that one spend some time with one of the PrE Template Menu Sets, studying every aspect of what is reqired. Even though I create Menus (for Encore), and Menu Sets for PrE, I still will use one of those Templates as a "guide."
Now, if PSE does not yet have Layer Sets, one can still find an existing Template Menu Set, that comes close to what they wish to do, and heavily modify that in PSE.
One thing that trips up many DVD Menu designers, when they start out, is that NO Button may overlap any other Button, even by 1 pixel.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if PSE has added Layer Set creation (it has been able to edit, just not create them, for many versions now), please post that information, as it will help me, in helping others.

Creating two-level dvd menu with Elements 9

Hi,
I am trying to burn a DVD (and later on Blu-Ray) using PRE 9. I can burn using a provided menu-template.
However, I would like to create a two (or multi) level menu for the disk. I would like to make the menu
look like this:
Play all
Year 1
Scene 1A
Scene 1B
Main Menu
Year 2
Scene 2A
Scene 2B
Main Menu
Year 3
I would like to burn DVD and Blu-ray disks with such menus.
How can I create such menus using Premier Element 9?
Thanks!

I am not clear on what you mean by a "two level DVD menu".
Premiere Elements disc menus come as a set of main menu and scene menus. But, it is possible to have the menu situation present with one main menu.
Apparently you want to have a Timeline of multiple movies, have the viewer select the one to watch first, and then, at the end of the movie selected, have the viewer taken back to the main menu. That all can be accomplished for DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc with the placement of stop marker at the end of each Timeline movie (except the last one). Each movie could have a scene marker at its beginning which will trace to a scene button in the scene selection page. But, there is a sacrifice in doing this. This scenario does not permit for a functional "Play All".
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/09/pe-dvd-menu-navigationplay-all-loss.html
In addition, the above is not applicable to AVCHD format on DVD disc or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc (with stop markers) because the players for those discs do not support stop markers.
Please review the above and then we can discuss the matter further.
Thank you.

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo). I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
*if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
. simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
. more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,
using the command "cd" to change to the directory that your files are in
and entering "ren *.m4a *.m4b"

Can't create a custom installer ARD 3.6.1 + OSX 10.8.3

Hi guys,
I am new to ARD, and straight out of the gate I've got issues!!
I can't create a custom installer, its giving me the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."
I've done some searching and the only issues I can find are form older versions back in 2007!
If I choose to not customise an installer is saves fine, but as soon as I customise one I get that error.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

Hello.
Boolean controls can only have 2 possible values, true or false, and there is no way to add more values to them.
If you need more values, then you must use a numeric control (or a string, but I tend to like numerics better, although strings could be just as useful).
There are several types of numeric controls you could use to provide 3 or more options. Attached is a VI which shows a ring, a knob, and a slide each with 3 possible values. In your code, you would then perform different actions depending on the numeric value of your control.
Hope this helps,
Alejandro
