How can I create Fade-in or Fade-out on Click of Button?

I'm using Encore DVD 2.0. My DVD starts with a video on a timeline, and then jumps to a main menu with a motion background and music. The main menu links to a couple videos on timelines.
I'd like to do 2 things:
1) When the user clicks a button on the main menu to bring them to a video on a timeline, I'd like the main menu itself to fade out before jumping to the timeline. How can I make this happen in Encore? I of course can't create this fade-out in the editing of the video, since the user could possibly click the button at any point throughout the video.
2) In transitioning from the initial timeline to the main menu, I would like the main menu to fade in. Is this possible, and if so, how can I make this happen in Encore?
Thank you for your help.

> I'm trying to understand what you mean. Did you mean that I can make my entire menu part of the background motion video? How would the buttons work? Is there a way to create invisible buttons in Encore?
Sorry for the confusion - I didn't write that as clearly as I should have done.
Right now, in Encore, you
i cannot
use "Buttons Over Video" as it is not in the feature set. What I was trying to say is that a feature request might get this functionality added in a later build. We can but hope, anyway.
What I can recommend you try is using After Effects or Premiere Pro to create your Motion Menu, and set things up so that the appearance of the actual buttons is delayed to the point you want them to appear at.
Another solution - this will give you minimal delays (should be very close to seamless on the final DVD) is this:
1 - Intro to Main Menu.
Create your intro to the main menu, and set this not as a timeline, but as a motion menu. Set the End Action of this to go straight to a static/still copy of the final frame from the Motion Intro.
2 - Main Menu
This will be a still menu, with or without Audio. If you use Audio it will need to loop though.
3 - Outro from Main Menu to timeline.
Fake this as follows.
Method A.
Create the outro to the timeline and set this as another motion menu - not a timeline - with it's end action set to automatically play the main film. The outro will presumably fade to black, so any transition will be un-noticeable.
Method B
Fake the outro by adding it to the start of the main timeline.
I think Method A will be your best bet here.

  • How can i Print (with the printer) a JFrame by clicking a button?

    i have a jframe with image and lables on it...
    how can i send it to print by clicking the mouse i mean what to write at the ActionListener?
    Thanks!

    What to search? What do you mean "what to search". I suggested you search the forum using "printerjob" as the keyword.
    Or search the forum using "printing". Think up you own keywords. Read some postings and get some ideas. All the information is in the forum if you look hard enough to find it.

  • How can i uncheck a checkbox in table component on clicking a button

    In my application I have a table component that display data from the database and a submit button outside the table component, the first column in the table component is a checkbox, How can i uncheck the checkbox in the table component when the submit button is clicked?
    Thanks in advance.

    Something like this ... I THINK it will uncheck all checkboxes in table, but I'm not positive ... you can test!
    if checkbox id is checkbox1...
    <script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[                                         
    function disableCheckbox()
    document.getElementById('form1:checkbox1').selected = false;
    }]]></script>Put above code inside of head tag in JSP View
    NEXT...
    go to Design View and select your button and go to properties section and select onClick property and insert this javascript in dialog...
    setTimeout('disableCheckbox()', 1)Now run the project when you click the button does the checkbox become unselected?
    Anyway this is where I would start...as far as selecting just the first checkbox if there is more than 1 record...I'm not sure...but I'm curious if this works.

  • How can i print an excel spreadshee​t file by clicking a button on the front panel

    i have designed a vi that logs data into an excel spreadsheet. i want to take print out of the file when the user clicks a button on the front panel. what to do if there is very large amount of data.

    Preet,
    Printing the Excel sheet is just an ActiveX method call to print the worksheet. To add data to the worksheet, you already have the reference, just call a print method. As for handling large amounts of data, that is a vague question. The data will print how ever you placed it on the worksheet. If what you mean is that you don't want to print out 25 pages every time, the print method has options to only print specific pages or ranges. You may want to play around with a sample spreadsheet to learn the printing options. For help on the ActiveX functions, make sure you have the Visual Basic help installed for Excel.

  • How can i clean browser history so a user cnat click back button

    hey guys,
    i would like to know how i can clean out the browser history once a user logs out to my login page
    i want to set it that once a user gets to my login page at that moment the browser he/she is using automatically cleans its history.
    thank guys we are the best.
    Alex

    Use the following HTTP headers Which tells the browser to see the Site to not to save in the history and so no need of deleting that
    response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);Bye for now

  • How can I stop Firefox 34 from crashing when I click a button on the NOrton 360 toolbar??

    I have the latest Norton 360 and fully updated. Also have FF 34.05. After anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, clicking any of the Norton Toolbars buttons that open options and provide multiple log in options FF crashes and when I reopen it it brings up my old tabs and at the end it brings up the FF welcome screen. In the options, it changes my opening page to the Norton Welcome page and the option to open previous tabs which was there with open default site which now it the welcome screen. Need help as have tried several fixes from the net and none so far work. Have allowed FF to reinstall the pref file, have removed hardware acceleration as well as put flash into a non protected mode and none help.
    Don't know if it is a FF or Norton issue but, it is a real issue. Please help.

    Thanks for your quick turn around. I'd be surprised if corrupt files as I only got the machine last Thursday but, it was a refurb so perhaps issues from the previous owner.
    Do have some questions as follows:
    It is a Windows 8.1 64 machine so will the fix recommended work??
    looking at the page, appears option 2 is my best bet but, won't start until I get the go for Win 8.2. Assuming this is a good fix and since I would be doing it with the system and not a program, no malware??
    As far as drivers, do have a app from HP that updates drivers and I updated everything after I got it going so should have the latest drivers and I did try alone unclicking the machine acceleration and no change there but, with the scan, might help. I have run all of the Windows updates which were quite a few with a new computer and do have Windows set to perform automatic updates so don't think I need to worry about graphic drivers??
    Your thoughts on my questions before running the scan at the elevated admin level. By the way, I am the admin so do I simply run as admin or is there a higher thing I need to do to run at High Administrator???
    Also, if after I run the scan and repair, if OK on Win 8.1 should I send your results to Norton for them to look at since almost all of the problems are with Norton and perhaps they have a fix with those issues and having running the driver fix should help them?? Also will the scan and repair indicate what was fixed and what wasn't.
    Sorry so many questions but, don't want to mess up my new machine.
    Thanks so much,
    Dave

  • How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

    I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow.  How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
    For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
    Can anyone help ?

    Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.

  • How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    Hi there,
    You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
    If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

  • TS2756 How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )

    How can i create a new usb connection (service)  on my iMac for sharing internet from my iPhone5 ( i seem have to deleted it )
    i know its not a problem whit my carrier o data plan or sharing preferences on the ipone because when i use it un my laptop it works perfectly through
    the usb and even works on the Imac through wifi and bluethood tethering but NOT through usb!!.
    the problem is that trying to make it work i deleted the "profile" usb iphone on the network prefereces panel. Now i only have 3 options: ethernet / wifi / bluetooth
    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.
    can some one help me please??
    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.

  • How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

    How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

    There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.

  • How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

    How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear.  You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf
