HOW TO: BASIC DVD MENU BLACK BKGD SOME TEXT AND CLIPS

hey everyone!
i was hoping someone could help me out with this. i need to make a really basic dvd thats just a black background, some text, and the links to the clips i want to played. any tips with this?
thanks

Crumbs - it doesn't get more basic!! No images for the background needed?
OK, what you do is very simple indeed. Create a menu if you haven't already got one, and click on it so it appears in the editor window. Click and drag out a button rectangle and use the property inspector to add text to the button and include it in the button highlight. Set the target for the button and repeat the process for any other button you want to add. Make sure that you use the 'Settings' drop down box and assign the button navigation.
That's it.

Link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's ect

Hello All
Is there anyway to put a link in a DVD menu to link to text files such as Word, Adobe PDF's etc that are burned into the DVD?

Actually, you CAN'T with iDVD. You CAN put a variety of content into the DVD-ROM area, but that isn't accessable from any menu in an iDVD created DVD.
If you use DVD Studio Pro, you have some ability to add the kind of links you ask about.

Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available

I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
I use CS4 and this is my menu;
   <div id="navigation">
    
    <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="index.html">Home</a>        </li>

That is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
Thanks Jen

Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag.
looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
</script>
so dont forget to copy that over too. Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? (PSE 4)

One of my dad’s retirement passions is family genealogy and old family pictures. Several years ago I gave my family PSE 4.0 for Christmas so that we could each have backup copies of our dad’s pictures. Usually once per year, I made backup copies of everything and emailed the DVDs to my brothers and sisters. Everyone knows the basic PSE 4 functions and share our dad's enjoyment with the old family photos.
My problem is that my dad is running out of pictures to scan. He wants to “share” or “show” his photos with others so that he can “borrow” their photo albums in order to scan their photos. He plans to attend a hometown high school reunion later this fall. He hopes to "collect" photo albums from cousins and classmates. I have been struggling with this for several days without any good ideas.
The scanned pictures lack any text (added as a layer?) or captions. Creating a slideshow (on my dad’s computer is slow). Also, a slideshow doesn’t let others select individual pictures to save from the slide show
He has old pictures pre-PSE 4 that allowed him to add captions directly to the picture when it was scanned. I never liked this approach as it "destroyed" the actual picture but these old pictures are more easily shared as individual pictures.
How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? Can you save or export a composite picture with all the layers?
Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

I think it is one of the printer option screens that gives me the choice of tabbed 4x6. All of the choices specifiy HP or Other so I am pretty sure it is printer software that offers me this choice.
Make sure your image has a 4x6 aspect ratio. I have been quite happy with the tabbed 4x6. Just need to remember to load the paper with the tab last.
So, in elements you set to 4x6, in printer options you should be able to choose 4x6 tabbed paper.

Please, how make a DVD menu with chapters? FCPX

I already instaled FCPX but I can't find where I can make a profesional DVD menu as in DVD studio before. There is only "share" and this is for amaters not for me. I need make profesional DVD with chapters, caregories etc.
Please is there anybody who know how or where make it ?
Thanks very much to all.

Export a movie from FCP X. Import the resulting movie into FCP 7 or older version of FCP. Add chapter markers as needed, then export to Compressor and on to DVD Studio Pro for authoring and burning. Hopefully you didn't delete the old pro apps before installing FCP X.
If you're waiting for Apple to add a full featured DVD app, don't hold your breath. Apple has declared that the DVD-Video format is dead and apparently they think no one should be using it.

How to make dropdown menu selection create more text fields?

I did some searching and am unable to find an answer for this. It could be because I don't know the name of what I'm trying to do (I'm a total LiveCycle Designer noob). I tried to find guides but they seem to be for newer versions of Designer (I'm using 8.2) so I'll ask here:
I'd like specific text fields to appear after a pulldown menu option is selected (empty fields w/ the captions already filled in). How can I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance!

How do I add a black box over text?

Hello,
I was wondering if that with Premiere Elements 9 if you could add a black box over text to make it stand out more because of the content I have in the background. I have tried various menus in Premiere Elements 9 but to no avail. If you know how to do this please help me out!
-Compute

ComputeGamin
Consider a more subtle effect to make the text pop out more. Have you tried applying one of the Styles to the text in the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Titler?
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

How do You create menu buttons that move up and down with a remote?

I have six menu items that are linked to their proper locations. When I simulated it a Hand moves over the proper choice then when I click there we go.
But on the DVD simulator you can't navigate. I thought maybe I would bring in one of the templates to use their buttons I can't get my images to replace theirs. Any help appreciated.
Jerome

Take a look here to make sure buttons are being set properly
http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07m.php
And download the movie if you like
I create a button, then set the text and include highlights
I then create another button, then set the text and the include highlights
I then click on the menu and go to the inspector to see colors
RED Normal
BLUE Selected
YELLOW Activated
In simulater I then use the remote control and CANNOT navigate through the buttons
I stop Simulator and then use Auto Assign Buttons Now Command, then relaunch Simulator and get the remote control to work
Make sure to link the button to the track you want to go to.
I thought the issue is that you cannot navigate the buttons with the remote control? If you only have one button on the screen, it will always be selected (Yellow in your project as described)
If it is flashing Megenta and nothing happens, it means a target has not been set (or somehow you are targeting the menu again)
So the only two condiitions you will see is yellow or magenta.

How do I print the contrast between "filled" text and its surrounding "box"?

Hi,
Apologies in advance for any ambiguity or confusion . . .
I am a self-taught Photoshop user who has come upon a problem to which I cannot find an answer, despite searching online for hours . . .
When I design a project, it looks beautiful on screen . . . when I print it, however, it loses the definition between colors inside a font and the shape surrounding the font . . .
To be more exact:
I am working at 300 dpi . . .
I create a rectangle and fill it with red. I then write text inside of the rectangle and the font color is white. Onscreen, it looks clear and well-defined. When I print it, however, there is not clear definition between the font and its surrounding area . . . the colors seem to bleed into each other . . . I have tried using different paper (glossy, matte, etc.), have tried putting a narrow stroke around the text, etc., but nothing help to clearly define the difference between the text and its surrounding shape/color.
It also does not matter the size of the font, although the larger the font, the easier it is to "see" the difference. But a white font at 24 point looks no sharper than a white font at 8 pt.
I am using an Epson XP-610 printer . . . it is a home deskjet and I mainly design for fun, but this "lack of sharpness" on the fonts is driving me crazy. I would included a screenshot, but it would not help much, since the project looks beautiful and clear on the screen.
The colors only seem "muddled" when I print. Any advice, or even a point in the direction of something I can read to help me understand what to do, would be helpful. . . . TIA!I

Hullo Cheapster:
I too am confident that this facility does not exist in relation to the underline function as such. Nor am I aware of a workaround that would let you access it straightforwardly for routine usage in body text. The underline facility, like the strikethrough, is provided because it is standard in some documentation which a wordprocessing might be expected to serve - but as such, it is provided in limited conventional formats. Otherwise, I agree, it is not ideal typography.
However, for occasional use, there are two workarounds you might like to consider. One is to use the line drawing facility available through the insert menu (insert shape, choose line; then grab its handles to make it horizontal) or the same process initiated from the objects icon in the toolbar.
Be aware, however, that the above could require further attention to your wrap options: you would need to deselect any wrap - but could still need to modify your line spacing options to avoid irregular line spacings with the rest of your text.
Possibly simpler is to bear in mind that you can produce an underline without its text. To do this, select underline (Command / U) and type "non-breaking spaces" (option / space). This would allow you to place your underline on a separate line from your underlined text. You could do the same with the strikethrough function, which you access via the effects section in the font panel for closer spacing; or alter the line spacing where you need to do this.
Either of the above would affect your surrounding text in a way that would make these methods unsuitable for incorporation into body text.
However, if your interest in doing this relates to headlines or the like, one or other of these options might suit your purpose.
Regards.

? I opened the "get started" page and "How to edit a photo-" but I just see a big black box and some text and no way to work with anything. I downloaded the photos and opened them and there they are.

Is there supposed to be a video in that black box?

Yes those are supposed to be videos. I can see them now. These videos are hosted on Youtube. Some people have experienced temporary issues but later have been able to view the videos. I suggest coming back and trying again, or try another browser.

How do you change different styles to some texts in a paragraph. Please help! Pics included!

I am trying to code the text "About Us Learn more about us!" which I surrounded it with a paragraph and then tried to change the styles of it but it doesn't work. I'm also trying to figure out how to shorten the distance between the paragraph from top to bottom. Any help or suggestion?
I'm trying to make it like this with the red text font size 15 and the black text font size 12, The red text will be hyperlinked to the page it belong to. The black is more like a description about the link.
Example:
(link)About Us(/link) Learn more about us!

The first thing I would recommend is that you move all of your CSS styles to a separate document that you then link to your HTML.Once you've done this, add text styling classes to the CSS file to cover all of the "looks" that you envision. For example, you might code all text within a <p> tag to be a uniform:
p {
     font-family: Times New Roman, serif;
     color: #000;
     font-size: 1em;
and code alternatives:
.textStyle1 {
     font-family: Verdana, Ariel, Helvetica, sans serif;
     color: #56d2ac;
     font-size: 2em;
.textStyle2 {
     font-family: Verdana, Ariel, Helvetica, sans serif;
     color: #313131;
     font-size: 1.5em;
.textStyle3 {
     font-size: 0.75em;
etc. Of course, you are using the font of your choice and size units (whethers ems or pixels), and adding in any other styles you want such as color, weight, line height, letter spacing. You'll end up with some THML code that looks like this, if you're putting it all into one paragraph):
<p><span class="text1>These words begin my paragraph with emphasis</span> while these words get general emphasis. <span class="text2">These words will get some emphasis</span>, but not as much as the text 1 class. <span class="text3>These words would receive lesser emphasis</span> than the default text identified with the "p" tag styling.</p>

Blacks in some pages and documents appearing transparent to desktop

Certain web pages, "advanced" pages like Sky's TV listings or even the google home page, show blacks and dark areas as transparent making them very hard to view. It also happens to pdf's viewed in Firefox and quicktime movies in firefox. The problem seems to be connected to the Win7 aero feature as when this is switched off the problem disappears, but not other application or browser is affected.

Thanks for the informative answer Yvan. I wonder if that's related to another issue: after installing iWork 09 I noticed some font modifications in my PDF files as well (big Headings ending off the page). Do you think that might be related? Any ideas of how to fix this?
