How to use illustrator dvd menu template???

If you create a menu using one of illustrator cs3 templates how do I get it into dvd studio pro as a menu??
tx..

I was hoping there would be a more integrated meathod... but then again.. so here's the process..
1) Resize the image in Illustrator.... make sure ALL your layers are visable.(hidden layers will not be selected via a 'select ALL'(huh?) and thus not scaled).. Select All.. Change image size in Illustrator control panel to 1280x720 (for 720p HD.. use your size depending on your format)
2) change the cropping area to 1280x720, you may also want to change the pixel aspect ratio of the cropping area ruler to 1 since it's incorrectly set at 1.333.. HD uses square pixels...
3) Export as photoshop (export layers but disable both editability
boxes... with my final image, leaving this checked resulted in a flattened image with no layers!?!? anyhow) use 72dpi, as this appears to export a file the size of the actual resolution specified..
4) open in photoshop and crop the image (set canvas size) to the propper size. for whatever reason I could not get illustrator to output a 1280x720 image.. it was 1281x721.. If I reduced the crop area to 1279x719 then I got a 1279x719 image..
5) import into Dvd Studio.. Then create a layered menu.. set it as the background, and then setup your button using the layers for highlight etc...

Premiere Elements 13 problem with DVD menu templates

I recently purchased Premiere Elements 13 for my iMac. It crashes every time I attempt to add a DVD menu template to my project. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I just uninstalled and then re-installed Premiere Elements. When I opened the program, I clicked on Movie Menus from the Tools menu. There were blue bands on the menu thumbnails and I right-clicked on one and selected "download all." P.E. let me know that the files would need 2.5 GB of space and I told it to go ahead and download the files. The download was going fine and it downloaded all 2.5 GB of data. I could see the blue bands disappear from the thumbnails as the download progressed. When the downloading process was over the progress window disappeared. I saw the rainbow colored pinwheel spin around for several seconds and then the program crashed. The next thing I saw was a "Crash Report" with several lines of "computerese" and the message that it would be sent to Apple. I clicked OK and in a second or two a window from Adobe appeared asking me if I wanted to restart the program and send the crash report to Adobe. There was also an option for me to ask Adobe to send me feedback or tips for a workaround or solution to the problem and what came back was the message that Adobe had no workaround or solution to my problem. For each of the previous times the program crashed, I have seen all of these windows that I just described.
One other thing: when I re-opened Premiere Elements after the crash, I looked at the movie menu thumbnails and the blue bands were not there any more. So it seems as though Premiere Elements "thinks" they have been downloaded. If so, where are they and how do I use them? And how do I prevent the program from crashing?
Feel free to ask me any questions you want to, especially if they will help solve this problem. One reason I bought this program is that I want to make DVDs with menus and chapter selection buttons. I have been using iDVD, but Apple no longer supports it, and it does have a few bugs I have had to work around. I also have DVD Studio Pro, which came with Final Cut Studio a few years ago (before Final Cut Pro X) but it is not very user friendly. I also have Final Cut Pro X, which has the option of authoring DVDs, but doesn't have the DVD menu template options that are in iDVD and DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks for your attention and help.

Where are the DVD menu templates?

Purchased Compressor 4 today and am so far quite underwhelmed.
One of the features on the Apple product page is "Choose from a set of menu templates to create basic Blu-ray discs or DVDs". All I see are two templates: the basic "black" and "white" templates that also ship with FCPX - simple title, single video, optional streched/clipped background image, optional chapter menu. No sound/etc.
Granted, a set can contain zero or more items, so the Apple statement is truthful that these two templates are a "set" ... but sure seems misleading, implying that we would have more than two choices.
Anyone know if there is any ability to create or add more DVD menu templates to Compressor 4 / FCPX?
[I'm one of many struggling with iDVD as my only disk burning option, since I've moved from Final Cut Express, which did not include DVD Studio Pro and Apple has not unbundled that product ... so FCPX users have very limited options for standalone DVD authoring programs.]
Thanks,
Karl

Only 2 for SD DVD, there's several for Blu Ray.
There is a place to find them, but you'd be hard pressed to figure out how to decifer them.

What year iMac do you have?
Are you asking about the separate Apple remote or Apple DVD player or both?
If your iMac is the new slimline models, there is no longer a bulit-in IR receiver input to use the separate Apple remote any longer.

DvD Menu Templates

Hi. Just wondering why Premiere Elements 11.0 did not include DvD Menu Templates. Instead, after you choose one, they ask you to download it from the web. Does anyone have a link for these menus? All my work computers are not on line for internet connection and all of them have elements 11.0. Thanks.

orlandoVideography
Please check out my blog post on Premiere Elements 11 Content
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-no-content-disc-content-downloads.html
Your download choices from within the program are for the particular Content choice or ALL. But, the wait for one can be very long, although some claim they can accomplish that task in seconds. So, the wait for ALL can seem endless. There is an option for having the download take place in the background if that is any help.
Patience is a good part of the answer.

How to use the dvd drive...?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my new 15" 2.53 Mhz Duo Core MacBook Pro a month ago but until now I haven't figured out how to use the DVD drive. Well I can't seem to find where it is actually... Does all MacBook Pro has dvd drive? Coz when I check back apple's website and look for the same macbook pro specification like my one, it has a dvd drive included so I thought my macbook has it for sure but can't or don't know how to use it... This is my first time to have an apple that's why...
Hoping for your help..
Thanks,
Danny

Hi there Danny.
I believe you are looking for the location of the DVD drive... right?
If you are looking at your computer while it is open, it should be on the right hand side... "under" the keyboard. There is a slit that allows the DVD to be inserted into the computer. I think if you start to insert a DVD in there (shiney side down) part way, it will suck it into the computer.
(note: I'm not exactly sure, because I use a 7 year old iBook that has a pop-out DVD tray... but I think it will suck it in for you)

How to install free disc menu templates?

I'm a beginner in using my new iMac and Premiere Elements 10, so I have to ask - How to install the free disc menu templates from Muvipix? Are there any more disc menu templates in Preimiere Elements then the few ones I have there?
gardie10

This would probably be a better question for the folks at Muvipix.
In fact, here's the answer.
http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=8374
(Make sure you unzip the downloaded files before you store them in folder in the location listed!
Meantime, make sure you've installed all of the content discs for Premiere Elements. You should have over 70 DVD and BluRay disc templates.

How to use multiple videos in template

I'm using the Directions HD template in Motion 3 and trying to figure out how to use more than one drop zone. When I drop a video into the first drop zone, it appears in all drop zones. How can I use multiple videos?

Step 1: Find the Drop Zone layer (inside the Video group/folder) and select the Custom behavior and type Command - K (Convert to Keyframes from the Object menu)
Step 2: Duplicate the Drop Zone the number of times you want to be able to change media.
Step 3: For Each drop zone, move the playhead to the position you need to set an In Point; then do the Out Points... I recommend overlapping the Outs and Ins and crossfading using opacity keyframes. [For some of these, this will mean a 1 or 2 frame crossfade... or pick your points for straight cuts. ]
Step 4: Select all the Drop Zones and create a group (Command-Shift-G).
Step 5: Select the "Clone Layer" (it will be unchecked in the Layers List inside the Video group), and drag the newly created group of drop zones into the Source well.
You can mix up the way the background (emitted copy) video plays by clicking the Random Seed button at the buttom of the Emitter > Particle Cell inspector.

[U310] How to use recovery DVDs

In windows 8, it is impossible to create recovery DVDs with Lenovo OneKey Recovery 8.0.
The option has been eliminated. WHY?
Now I ordered the DVDs, but I don't know how to use it !! What I did was:
- Since U310 has not DVD drive, I create ISO file and burn it to USB drive using UltraISO.
- BIOS: RAID, Legacy support, boot USB HDD,
But I still get CD/ROM error while product recovery. Why?
Anyone could help? any other settings needed?
Or the very latest BIOS version of 65CN99WW not support USB HDD image?
thanks in advance for any hints.
Signature on work

thanks Solid Cruver,
the USB was bootable, and according to your post:
‎09-10-2013 05:28 PM
Inside BIOS
    Under Boot Tab
          Change Boot mode to Legacy
           USB Boot should be enabled
    Under Security
          Secure Boot Has to Be disabled
In case the options above are grayed out in your BIOS, Got to Exit Tab and Change OS Optimized Default to Other OS
and check the options again.
Once All are Set Make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot. You should have now your USB Stick as an Option.
The security boot choice can only be found under UEFI boot. But what I need is Boot mode to Legacy, and boot to Legacy first with USB. i.e. if I choose Legacy boot, the security setting will not appear, so I think it will set back to eanabled to prevent other OS installation?
Do I need to choose AHCI and iRST off? Any other tricky things? any priority of the 3 USB ports?

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to use pre-designed website templates in Dreamweaver? Thks

I am fairly new to Dreamweaver (cs6), having previously designed and maintained a few sites using Freeway. I purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com in the hope that this would simplify the creation of a new site. The template came without any instructions other than how to unzip the file. Their helpline really isn't helpful at all. Can anyone recommend an online tutorial on how to use a predesigned template? Lynda.com doesn't have one. Thanks!

I found this page :
http://www.templatemonster.com/dreamweaver-templates.php
Followed a link. Ended up here :

Did a search. Found this :

I need to learn how to use Illustrator CS6

I have tried to access both the help topics and the video tutorials for Illustrator CS6. Help topics always have no listing for learning how to use the program. And the video tutorials will not run.

What does that mean "will not run?" Any error? Doesn't show? No sound?
Which system? Which browser? Which page exactly?
