Help with subpicture highlights on looping motion menus

I created a motion menu in After Effects.  The menu is 11 seconds long.  I set a loop point at 5;18.  When I preview in Encore, the loop is great and everything looks fine.  However, when I burn the disc and play it in a computer, DVD player or PS3, the subpicture highlight disappears at the loop point for a second and then reappears.  It is driving me crazy.  Is this something that is normal, or did I do something wrong in creating the menu?

Hi,
the trouble you're describing is an usual bug for bluray projects, in this way: "no lights at the end of the tunnel".
About DVD things change: I've never experienced this one.
This may have several answers: from a bad (corrupted) disc (in this way I can suggest Verbatim) to a menu construction problem (bitrate for example........).
Have you tried to create a DVD folder, then test it with a sw player like Power DVD (version 10 is good for DVD, no more than the 8th if you wanna test a BD folder).

  • Help with creating highlighted buttons in DVDSP 3

    OK, I'm going nuts. I set up a "template" in iDVD using the "Brushed Metal Two" form. It has "arrow buttons" that "highlight" when selected in whatever color I set. They're a shadowed grey metal, like the background, when not selected.
    When I open this "template" in DVD Studio Pro 3.0, they arrows show up, but they lose their highlighting ability. I've tinkered with the settings in DVDSP, Button attributes, and have no even gone so far as to try designing my own buttons in Photoshop. Nothing is working. re: Photoshop, I don't know the program very well. Layers and all that is basically another language to me.
    In the end, I don't understand why everything I do in iDVD gets imported into DVDSP EXCEPT for the highlight fuction for the buttons. The "button" shows up, but it loses the ability to be highlighted.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    iDVD templates will not import properly into DVD SP depending on the version of iDVD, DVD SP 3 will be further back than this
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4650585&#4650585
    DVD SP 4 can do iDVD before iDVD 5, do not recall the ones for DVD SP 3
    If you go to the menus section here
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/
    There is some info on making buttons including using Photoshop look at

  • HELP with DO WHILE NESTED LOOPS PLEASE

    I am trying to create a very basic Airline Reservation Sytem using JBuilder 3.
    I am using JOptionPane boxes as the interface. The user has to input a number each time a menu appears and this takes him/her to the next or previous menu.
    I tried using the switch statement but as there are many combinations and more choices on some menus than others it became very complex. I am now trying nested do while loops with out much success....Can anyone help????
    A sample of my coded is included below... Thanks....
    void go () throws IOException
    int choice;
    choice = printMenu();
    do
    if (choice == 1)
    printMenu1();
    else if (choice == 2)
    printMenu2();
    while (choice !=3);
    int printMenu()
    String usersChoice, output;
    int choice;
    do
    output = "1 - Enter Airline/Flight/Passenger. \n";
    output = output + "2 - Display Airline/Flight/Passenger. \n";
    output = output + "3 - Exit. \n\n";
    output = output + "Please enter a number:";
    //get users selection
    usersChoice = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(output);
    //convert to integer
    choice = Integer.parseInt(usersChoice);
    }while(choice <1|| choice >3);
    return choice;
    }

    > void go () throws IOException
    int choice;
    choice = printMenu();
    do
    if (choice == 1)
    printMenu1();
    else if (choice == 2)
    printMenu2();
    while (choice !=3);
    int printMenu()
    String usersChoice, output;
    int choice;
    do
    output = "1 - Enter Airline/Flight/Passenger. \n";
    output = output + "2 - Display Airline/Flight/Passenger. \n";
    output = output + "3 - Exit. \n\n";
    output = output + "Please enter a number:";
    //get users selection
    usersChoice e = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(output);
    //convert to integer
    choice = Integer.parseInt(usersChoice);
    }while(choice <1|| choice >3);
    return choice;
    }Your method printMenu() returns an integer, shouldn't you catch that into choice in your go() method? You probably have already done this, but I'd make a seperate method for each menu/submenu (perhaps even create a generic menu display method, pass in an array of strings/choices, prompt for a input and return an int, much like your printMenu() does).

  • Need help with input, parsing, and loop in one program

    I am doing an assignment that is supposed to:
    # ask the user for a URL
    # For the entered URL, read all the HTML text from the page and extract all links (other URLs) and image names. These should be printed to the console window.
    # Reprompt for a URL until the user presses the cancel button.
    # Define at least one helper method that serves a practical purpose that your main method will use. Note that your method(s) should serve a useful purpose, and it should make sense that they are separated out from the main method.
    So far, I figured out how to ask if the user would like to play again, though I can't make it loop to play again. The "NO_OPTION" works fine and exits out.
    I cannot figure out at all how to ask for the URL and then use that URL to try to parse the HTML to find the links and pictures.
    for the loop, is it:
    do{
    ...//all the stuff//
    }while (option == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) ?(I think I have to parse, looking for "img src" and "a href", anyway)
    The biggest thing I'm getting hung up about is where to start. All it'll do is ask for the URL, say there is an error, and ask if I want to do it again. Don't know how to make it loop again. Like I said, I think it's a do while loop but am not completely sure where it goes and how to have it work on the entire thing with message dialoge boxes
    To ask for the input, I was trying to make the dialoge box a string so the string would be displayed and have the links extracted
    String linkString=   
              JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter a URL:");...but it obviously doesn't work like that...
    Here is the whole mess so far...I don't know what my question is because I know what I want, just not the terms to ask. help?

  • Need help with publishing -- highlight boxes and recordings

    I'm having a problem with publishing a presentation.  I've recorded audio for PP slides and added highlight boxes.  I've tested these in Edit mode - the recordings work fine and the highlight boxes appear correctly as per their settings.  When I go to publish, some of the recordings and highlight boxes are not working on some of the slides (but work fine on other slides).   Obviously I've missed some setting on these but I cannot figure out what and where.  Could anyone please help??

    Just kidding. Now, the files seem to be uploaded and in the right folder; however, now the page just isn't loading. See what I mean, everything going wrong?!

  • Help with linking a layer to motion tracked video

    Not sure of the best way to describe this. I have a video with shadow in it which only moves slightly when camera pans a little.
    Ive created a static image and removed the shadow in photoshop although could have probably done that using the clone stamp in AE.
    However, the problem I have is that when the photoshop image is imported and I create the mask around the image where my shadow is on the video, the image is not tracked or linked to the video... How do I link it to the motion tracked video so that it moves with the video ?

    Hiya
    Yeah one below.. What you will see is the photoshop file, then the null layer followed by the original footage. In effect I need the photoshop image to track the movement of the camera as when I currently play the video, when the camera moves it looks as though a chunk of grass (the mask) is moving different from the rest of the scene.

  • Help with layout buttons and loops

    Hey,
    I am using mainstage for the first time for my band. We have a bunch of loops that we want to play in the background when i hit each corresponding button on my M-Audio keyboard, but i do not see an option to set a button to do that within Mainstage. Is there any way to set this up? I cant open up logic and press play and pause in the middle of a set.
    Thanks

    Have you tried creating an EXS instrument with the loops? You have to do this in Logic then open it on a channel strip in Mainstage.

  • Help with Logic Set Up - Loops and samples

    Hi all
    I am a new Logic user so apologies if this question is very newbie...
    I am just installing and setting up my program. I installed the full Logic with all the included sample content on my boot drive. Subsequently I bought a drive that I want to be a dedicated drive for sample libraries.
    My question is, how do I locate all the sample content and Apple Jam Pack content that Logic has already installed in order to move it to the new drive, and how do I make Logic aware of the new location of the libraries?
    If it weren't an eight hour install, I might just run the installer again, but hoping there would be an easier way.
    Thanks!!

    There is no need to uncheck remote and testing. Previewing locally should work exactly the same as it did in CS3.
    Are you using a server-side language? If so, expand the Files panel by clicking this icon:
    Then make sure that the Testing Server icon is selected.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Having trouble with buttons in motion menus

    I'm having some problems with buttons in motion menus:
    - I've created a motion menu where some text (button names) fade in.
    - I set a loop point after the text has faded in completely.
    - I set the end condition to "loop"
    (there is some animation after the text fades in that I would like to loop)
    - I draw out 5 buttons and assign different overlay colors to each of the button states.
    The problem is that each time the motion menu jumps back to its loop point.. the menu seems to stutter - the overlay color on the currently selected button turns off for a second and the button is momentarily disabled (can't be selected). This problem only shows up on the actual dvd build. The buttons work smoothly when tested in the simulator.
    I can avoid this problem by losing the animation and just setting the end condition to "still".. but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is something I might have missed or could try as a workaround.
    17" powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    This problem only shows up on the actual dvd build. The buttons work smoothly when tested in the simulator.
    It could be how the DVD is reading the DVD (sort of the nature of DVD, everything is not exactly the same), because buttons will not show until the loop point and there may be a slight pause from end of animation in the menu to the loop point. And the overlay will turn off briefly when it hits the end.
    Visually what you can do is make the animation in a manner so that at the loop point the buttons are part of the background itself and make sure your loop point is at that point (or slightly after) so it looks like the button is there.
    For the most part the setting of still may work okay (really a creative call), sometimes listening to the same music/seeing samee animation may be too much (of course it depends on project) and you can jump to the loop point on the menu on subsequent calls

  • Problem with Motion Menus

    I'm using iDVD 6.0.4 and am having a problem with the menu system.
    Everything is fine, and the project is about ready to burn, however whenever I go to add a still picture for the background of the two Chapters selection screens, the Motion Menus time jumps from 4:45/15:00 to over 15:00 by just adding one picture.
    What is causing this, and how do I get it to stop!?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks...
    Mike

    I had the same problem. Took ages to figure out the problem and the error message does not show up in the manual, though the 15 time limit for 4:3 is mentioned. Does this work better in iDVD08?

  • Encore 2 MOTION MENUs not looping more than 2x

    Gidday Neil & techies:
    I have created a wedding DVD. Burnt & both original Motion Menus looped forever. Did some alts, re-burnt DVD ... Now, one of the Motion Menus loops 1-2 times, then randomly plays one of the movies.
    (Definitely set to 'loop forever'.) I have re-re-rendered the motion menus, etc. etc. Still no luck.
    Hmmmm...

    Awesome. I checked out the other thread, and I didn't find the solution directly, but somewhere they mentioned "layers" and I realized how ignorant I was. The background layer was turned on by default, so I couldn't see the video that was playing behind it. I just toggled it off and presto! The menu works.
    Thanks again.
