DVD Studio Pro 4 - Keep Pictures on Templates in Color

Some DVD Studio pro 4 templates do not allow inserted pictures to keep their original color.  Is there a way to change this?

Yep, I was just impatient it seems.

It stops at 98% for an hour, but if you watch your hard disk you can see it beeing filled with data. So I just turned off my montior and took a walk for a while and it was done.

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 - dragging template to menu locks up the software

    When I drag one of the templates to the menu window, DVD Studio Pro locks up.
    The template displays in the menu window, but the Applying Template window stays on with the horizontal barber pole running.
    The only recourse is to force a quit.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks------Roger from Louisville

    After further investigation, it appears that I'm unable to create any shape on the menus (i.e. button shapes). Drag and drop of any pre-existing shape from the right-hand box has no effect at all.
    Could this have anything to do with file system permissions?

  • DVD Studio Pro 4.o Install Problem

    I had trouble installing FCP Studio on a MBP. Disk space is no problem; I set installer to put the loops and templates on a clean, new 300 Gb drive, and main drive has 40 Gb free.
    The installer keeps hanging on the portion where it states it is writing the DVD Studio Pro Templates. The first time, the progress bar got to 100%, but did not move for 30 minutes, and both the nottom buttons are greyed.
    I did a force quit, tried from beginning (skipping components that did get upgraded), and this time it just stopped at 98%.
    For the third try, I had to skip everything related to DVD Studio Pro, and the installer got to the end of its work ok.
    Not sure what I am missing- I have on my remote drive:
    Library/Application Support/DVD Studio Pro/Apple/
    Patches/
    Shapes/
    Styles/
    Templates/
    with content in all 4 directories.
    It's not critical as I have no immediate needs for pressing DVD titles, but only expect difficult installers when I have to boot in XP

    No Joe, but I've not really tried anything. I have no immediate need for DVD Studio. I thought I maye have had a bad disk but if you have the same issue it might be a problem with the installer script.
    I was installing these on an external drive, bot sure if that is a factor.
    Hopefully Apple reads these forums...

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 Upgrade

    I am currently using DVDSP3. Does anyone know where I can purchase the DVD Studio Pro 4 Upgrade (pictured here)? It's been discontinued everwhere I look and I don't want to drop $1200 on FCP Studio just so I can use DVDSP4.
    Thanks!
    12" PowerBook, 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.25 Gb RAM

    eBay or other reselllers may have it, but it has been long gone. If you have Final Cut 4 or 4.5 you can still get the whole Studio for $199

    Bbut unless you REALLY need something in DVD SP 4, stick with 3 (but stilll get the upgrade for the other things)

  • DVD Studio Pro 2 and Leopard

    DVD Studio Pro 2 keeps crashing. Is it supported in Leopard 10.5.5?

    I doubt it is officially supported since that is quite a few OSes ago when it was released. I wa never a big fan of DVD SP 2 and it seemed to work best in the 10.3.x more than 10.2 for me. Not sure I ever got it running in 10.4. Been awhile
    Is it crashing at a certain point in a project or just random?

  • I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

    I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down  command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
    Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

    Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
    You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

  • Exporting a custom menu template from DVD Studio Pro

    So I recently developed a custom template in DVDSP that my company wants to use on all our DVDs.  Is there any way to export or share this template with my coworkers, or am I stuck with DVD duty?

    Ah, after posting this, I found a solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12420982#12420982
    The instructions are slightly off: you look in User>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Studio>DVD Studio Pro>Templates and there you go.

  • Do DVD Studio Pro 2 templates work in 4?

    Hi,
    I own a version of DVD Studio Pro 2, but was wondering if I bought 4, would these old templates still show up and work in it?

    To get 4 you would need the whole Studio and usually it is a good idea to do a clean install of everything. You can move the DVD SP templates off and see if they work. I do not remember which ones carried forward at this time, but DVD SP 4 has many templates and I think they are pretty much the same.
    I see you are using an Intel Mac, so heads up DVD SP 2 is not Universal Binary so if you run into issues that could be the problem. Same for the OS you are running.
    Is there a reason you want to upgrade to 4? The upgrades and collection of software in the new Studio are a good jump if you are running older versions. (Motion Final Cut etc.)

  • I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message.  It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location." What does this mean?

    I'm using DVD Studio pro to burn a dvd but it won't let me cause I keep getting a "Formatting Failed" error message.  It says "Formatting was not successful. Layer 0 exceeds max layer size allowed. Choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition." What does this mean?

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.
    Recompress to keep the overall size (audio,video and menus) below 4.5GB

  • DVD Studio Pro 4 gets stuck when attempting to apply a template

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a strange issue using DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0 installed along with the complete Final Cut Studio 2 suite. I'm creating a blank, totally new project, and try to apply one of the templates listed in the upper right-hand box:
    The dialog "Applying template" appears, and I can see the bar moving/spinning, but it never goes away. The template background is displayed in the bottom of the scene, but nothing else happens, and the bar spins forever.
    I'm using newest generation macbook pros 2,4GHz with Nvidia graphics under Tiger 10.4.10

    After further investigation, it appears that I'm unable to create any shape on the menus (i.e. button shapes). Drag and drop of any pre-existing shape from the right-hand box has no effect at all.
    Could this have anything to do with file system permissions?

  • Using DVD Studio Pro theater template in Motion: Masking question

    I'm wanting to use the video of the theater interior used in the DVD Studio Pro theater menu template in a Motion project. I'm wondering if there is a 'quick and dirty' way to mask out the black portion that appears when the curtains open, which is used as a 'drop zone' in the DVDSP menu (basically, wanting to get the same 'reveal' effect as I would get in DVDSP) or if I have to mask it frame by frame.
    Thanks!

    Yes...except that's what I tried with the curtain earlier today, and what I got was....very strange. Instead of the the transition of shape that I had keyed, I got what was essentially the final set of points moving and warping in a very strange pattern.
    I'll try it again (and not be as anal and do every frame...try skipping to every second...or half second, so I don't go completely cold turkey).
    Thanks...wanted to make sure I was correct in how I thought it should work. (the art of masking is the one thing that just does not want to sink into this pooh brain of mine...)

  • DVD studio pro templates

    I upgraded to  FCStudio about three years ago but cannot find a DVD studio Pro 4 content disc.  I had several discs with the upgrade but cannot find a DVD studio Pro one.  I cannot remember if it came with a disc or not, does anyone know if there should be one with it.  If not, where can I buy the templates?  Many thanks.

    Regardless of whether you bought an upgrade or full price retail copy, FCS includes everything -the set of discs is identical. The difference is in the type of serial number you got.
    You should have got a DVD Studio Pro Content disc with the set.

  • DVD STUDIO PRO 4 TEMPLATES QUALITY

    Is there anyone out there that uses DVD Studio Pro 4 without problems. When using the templates both the text and stills are grainy or pixelated. As a test I created a movie and stills in FCP imported them into DVDSP, the movie quality superb, the text and stills for the menus - rubbish. I then used the same content in iDVD - perfect menus. It is really annoying when you invest in Pro software and the results aren't as good as you get with a freebie!
    Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

    Can't tell from your post if you're looking at your DVDSP project on your Mac or you have finished the project, burned the DVD, and are watching it on a tv set top box.
    To answer your first question, yes, I have no such issues with DVDSP4, I use some of the templates but not many, I usually change the typefaces, though. I have never used iDVD so I can't tell you if the results are superior in that product.
