How to create a random dvd menu

Hi everyone. I"m a newbie to apple fcp and i've been completely impressed with all of it's capabilities. I've been looking into doing a random dvd menu with scripting but have been unable to make it work. What I mean by that is a menu that has 3 or 4 different backgrounds/motion menus it skips around on the initial start rather than one that always comes up, this menu would alternate between menus. Almost like just changing backgrounds for the viewer so that it's not always the same. I've seen this with dvd's like starwars 3 dvd and others. Can anyone help direct me to some resources? All I've been able to find on this was in the dvd pro manual.
I really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!
-Bob

Thanks so much for your advice. I"m looking into just how to implement this script/counter code but not having much luck - I"m totally new to dvd studio pro and FCP. I just learned easter eggs last week though, so i'm getting there. Can you step me through this script creation process? If not don't worry i'll figure this out eventually somehow. I have my 4 different menus and a blank script and i've been looking at all my options. How do I implement your script in DSP4? Do I do a command for everyline of your code? or is there somewhere to write all of that?

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,

How to create a project's Menu in PeopleSoft left hand Menu Navigation ?

Folks,
Hello. My PeopleSoft project has 3 items (item1, item2 and item3). Each item has 5 components (Component1, Component2, Component3, Component4 and Component5).
Currently, I can acces each component by type in the URL in Browser as follows:
http://127.0.0.1/psp/ps/NodeName/PortalName/c/MenuName.ComponentName.GBL
But I want my project to appear in the left hand "Menu" navigation after we sign on PeopleSoft. My project Menu will look like a hierarchical tree. When the user click on it, the user can see all the project's items and components and link to a component directly. But I don't understand how to do it.
Do any folks understand how to create a project's Menu in PeopleSoft left hand Menu navigation ?
Thanks in advance.
:

>
>
I have registered each component using Registration Wizard in Application Designer. Since each Menu holds a Component, the Menu is also registered while registering its Component. So far, I can access each component online using the URL: http://127.0.0.1/psp/ps/NodeName/PortalName/c/MenuName.ComponentName.GBL
But I want to create a Menu for my project as a hierachical tree ( Project -> Item1 -> Component1, Compoent2, ...),
and I want the project Menu appears in PeopleSoft left hand Menu navigation so that a user can simply click on it to access a component and don't need to type in the above URL. Please answer me 2 questions:
First, how to make the project Menu appear in PeopleSoft left hand Menu navigation ? I am still not sure what you are trying to do(It is surprising that you registered the component and still dont have it in the main navigation; did you run the portal security sync process?? ).
If it is all a matter of having a hierarchical structure, then you can create folders and subfolders and register each item accordingly(into different folders and subfolders as you want)
Second, if need to register each Menu seperately again, how to do it ?Delete entries for content references that you added earlier while registering(by navigating to portal), as well as the entry from permission lists. After that you should be able to register again.

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 to create a Pop-up menu for an Applet

I need to create a Pop-up menu that works like this:
When the user move his mouse over the applet, the menu will pop up, extending beyond the bounds of the applet.
In other words: The applet will display only the menu headings - a mouse-over should cascade a menu beneath the heading - once again: beyond the bounds of the applet.
(Hopefully, the end result will look and work pretty much like a DHTML menu that uses <div>'s.)
I thought of popping up a JFrame to act as the menu - however, the JFrame has its own title bar.
Any ideas!?

OK - I tried using a JMenuBar - and it does cascade out of the Applet box. The question is:
How do I close the menu without clicking on the Applet box? - i.e. if the user clicks on the web-page, or simply waits a second or 2, the menu should collapse?
Any ideas?

How to create a pop up menu or option in labview?

Hi to all,

You don't actually create a play button. You need to create an architecture that has your program idle until something happens. A while loop with an event structure within it will do that. See the "Login dialog" example that ships with LabVIEW for an example of how to use an event structure. Depending on how complex you need your program to be, you may need to look into using a state machine, master-slave, or producer-consumer architecture.

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.

Kanten
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.

How to create a bootable DVD?

Hello,
I want to create a bootable DVD (or USB stick for that) with a minimal Mac OS 10.8.x on it - and I want to include some utilities of my own choosing with it. There are apps available for doing that, but all of those I have found so far cost money that I would rather not like not to spend, if possible.
Does anyone know how to do this or does anyone know of a free app that helps doing this?
Any help is very welcome!
Regards
Jim Knopf

The easiest way to do that is with an USB drive.
1. Open App Store > Purchases and download OS X Mountain Lion.
2. When the installer appears, follow the steps and select your USB drive as the destination to install Mountain Lion.
3. When the installation finishes, install the apps you want.
Also, you can use Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with the OS X installer there, so you can start from it if the hard disk is damaged.
If you are asking to "reduce" OS X and put it on a USB drive, you shouldn't do it. Instead, install the complete Mountain Lion on the USB drive

Creating a simple DVD menu with text as buttons...

Hi, I am rather new to DVDSP but fairly accomplished at the software designers earlier product, DVD Virtuoso (still use it). Can anyone tell me where there is a tutorial to create a simple text DVD menu? I would like to place a colored rectangle (opacity) behind the text to help it stand off the background and have access to some fairly basic text tools like Bevel & Emboss, Stroke and Drop Shadow. Thank you.

Has some discussion and examples I posted elsewhere which should help get you going. Best to do graphics in Photoshop, then make sure all text/layers rasterized, then make them flattened picts. One will be background layer, the other grayscale overlays to map colors (these examples should start you off I think)
PS I know Hal has a great example with better step by steps, and if I get a chance later I can also fill in details on what I did

How to create a PAL DVD from a NTSC camera

Hi,
I have a Canon HF10 which I have bought in the US, so it is a NTSC camera. I am living in Europe, so I would like to create a PAL dvd from the footage which I have recorded.
The footage have been shot using 1080/24p and I have imported it into iMovie. Do I need to do something extra or can I just export it and burn an dvd from iDVD?
Best regards
Henrik.

no surprise.. the ccd of you device is read-out 24p, but the camera records upsampled in 30i ..
24p on consumer devices is mostly marketing blabla..
in Europe, a 25p more is more interesting..
you have a NTSC device. full stop.
in iDVD, set prefs to 25fps (=PAL), relaunch iDVD, import iM project..
so, you record in 24p, got 30i on tape, anc convert again in 25i (=PAL) ... happy landing..
aside: better results in standards-conversion with free app JES Deinterlacer ...

How to create a PJC custom menu in forms

Hello
I want to make my own menu using Java and replace the default forms menu with it.

is it possible ?

Pointer on how to create a random 0's and 1's animation in Motion

Hi, I am trying to create a random 0's and 1's animation in Motion 5 and can't seem to get started.
I "think" I did something similar in AE many years ago but have been using Motion and FCPX for the last year and do not have access to AE anymore.
Had a look and play with behaviours, replicators without any joy so far.
i.e. a rectangle full of 0's and 1's (any random order - changing all the time)
If any of you clever folks can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Follow these steps:
Set the playhead at the beginning of the project
Add > Text Generators > Numbers
     Animate checked
     Start 0
     End 1
Move the playhead forward 1 frame and type 'o' to set an out point
[I recommend going into Properties and reset transform so that it's centered in the canvas
   I further recommend Format > Advanced Formatting > Monospace checked
     Set the Basic Formatting > Alignment > Center
     ITC Franklin Gothic will work well for this effect]
Select the Parent Group and type 'K' to clone the 2 frame group. Turn off the group in the layers list.
Type 'L' or click the replicator icon to create a replicator.
Set Replicator Controls:
     Columns & Rows to arrange your numbers
     Origin: Upper Left
     Build Style: By Row
In Cell Controls:
     Play Frames checked
     Check Random Start Frame
     Set Hold Frames to 7 (to start - you can adjust this later)
     Set Hold Frames Random to 4 (to start - again - adjust to taste.)
If you have trouble with the animation showing consistently, you can select the Clone Layer and in Properties > Timing, set the End Condition to Loop and the End Duration to the length of the project.) Motion will usually "snap out of it" once it has a chance to render the animation though, just restart playback from the beginning of the project a few times.
