Inserting Media In Disc Menu

I have chosen a disc menu for my project. In the main Menu I have a place to "Add Media Here". I would like to add a section of one of my scenes that I have in the time line into the main menu for an introduction. I cannot figure out how to trim the scene, delete audio, and then insert it in the menu. I did this before with PRE 4 but I cant remember how I did it. I know I have to copy the scene somehow and the trim it seperately but I forgot how. Thanks for all the help thus far.

The easiest way to insert a Motion Background from the Timeline is to Export/Share that desired portion as say a DV-AVI for an SD Project.
This can be done easily two ways:
You can limit the Export/Share with the WAB (Work Area Bar), and uncheck the Export Audio if you only want the Video. Then, just choose Add to Project, and drag that resultant DV-AVI from the Project Panel to the Menu.
You can do a Save_As for your Project (leaving your original Project untouched), and then Delete all extra material from the Timeline. Do the Export/Share. Close that Project and then Open your original. Import that resultant AV file, and drag that to the Menu.
I like the first, as it saves a step, or two.
Here is a look at the WAB:
Good luck,

No HTML5 Video option in Insert/Media Drop down menu on DW, CS6

Just getting into wanting to try the HTML5 Video on websites I am building on my PC using CS6.
However, I downloaded the tutorial "Inspire" on how to do this, etc. by downloading the mpeg4 video files(trolly) and doing a test site while following along with tutorial. Followed to a "T".
When it came to actually clicking the Insert selection then the Media selection to drop down the following only,
SWF
FLV
Shockwave
Applet
Active X
Plugin
I even updated DW, restarted PC and still no final choice to add the HTML5 Video file. And I did have the Option in the New Document Dialouge Box to select HTML5 from the DOCtype menu earlier in the tutorial test I conducted and made. Think of why I don't have that option?

Imac Superdrive not recognizing inserted media, runs disc for a minute then spits it out.

2009 intel 24 inch Intel Imac either does not recognize cd or dvd I put in it and spits it out after spinning it around for a minute, or it swallows disc and I have to force shut down to get disc out. Other times it is able to read disc. Any ideas?

If the drive lenses have never been cleaned since you purchased your iMac, you may need to run the cleaning cycle more than once. Did you run the cleaning disc more than once?
If the problem is lessening, that means it still could be some dust on the lenses.
Also, look at the backs of the CD/DVDs to see if there are lots of scratches on the writing surface.
If there are, it may not be just the drive, but the discs, too!
I don't know about auto polishes for cleaning CD/DVDs, but they make consumer cleaners and polishes specifically to minimize, clear up most minor scratching on DVDs or CDs.
These are available in places that sell electronics and can be found online.
Maybe you need to try these ideas, first, before investing in a new drive.
Because if the CD/DVDs have surface scratches or imperfections that prevent it from being read or written too, this will still happen with the new external drive.
Trybthese ideas one more time, if still no joy, time to purchase an external FireWire CD/DVD writer.
Good Luck!

Menu selection: Insert / Media / Image Viewer does not exists

Hi,
I cannot see menu Insert / Media / Image Viewer
What am I missing?
My version is from
"Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium"
--BRH

It doesn't exist in CS6. Adobe discontinued this feature because DW is not an image gallery creation tool. It's web authoring software.
If you can work with jQuery, there are dozens of image gallery & slideshow plugins you could use that are much nicer.

Edge animate composition is not an option on insert media menu, and I subscribe to the cloud

edge animate composition is not an option on insert>media menu, and I subscribe to the cloud

If your product was installed via the Creative Cloud, you should be able to update it using the Creative Cloud. If your product was installed via other media (like from the DVD), you will not be able to update it using the Creative Cloud. Now that CC has launched, you might want to look at upgrading now and try it out now.

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

Jayhawk
I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

Are Disc Menu Templates Restricted to Certain Versions of Premiere Elements

I ask this question after visiting the movipix site to look at what templates I might add to my PrE 9 program. This got me to wondering if templates are restricted to certain versions of PrE. After reading various posts in this forum I thought I was getting the message that any templates from Premiere Elements 4 to Premiere Elements 10 were interchangeable. It was a matter of inserting the subfolder from one program into the category folder of another program?
If I were to order a template from the movipix website would I have to check to make sure which versions it would work in? I read where version 9 had some problems with some templates that would not allow menu background video or pictures to show up on the burned dvd even though it was in preview before burning. AT Romano had played with some of the templates but I never could find out if the problem was resolved by Adobe.
Thanks

ATR,
Thank you for your response. A wealth of information. Quite a bit of it I had already read. You've gone to a lot of work. Of most interest to me were a couple of posts. One in this forum "Using Disc Menus from Premiere Elements 4 in Premiere Elements 12". (Sorry I didn't copy the message #). The other detailed post was in Elements Village Premiere Elements forum. http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73006&highlight=templates+folder
These posts are explaining pretty much how to install additonal templates, either between versions, or downloaded templates? Very good. One question on the Elements Village post though. You mentioned deselecting "Read Only" in the properties dialog box of the folder to be transferred. Is this only necessary if transferring from one computer to another? or should this be done when transferring from one PrE version to another within the same computer?
I think you have answered my question on using menu templates across the board from PrE version 4 thru 12. Just a matter of getting them in the correct folders as you have pointed out in your various posts. And it appears that only PrE 9 had the issues that didn't get fixed by Adobe as far as menu background & audio not getting burned to disc?
To give more details on the Menu and Scene Selection buttons. I should have said PLAY ALL instead of Menu. I did not modify them. I merely dragged the Play All button to the bottom left and the Scene button to the bottom right of the Main Menu page. The arrows pointing to them went along with the text. But on the burned DVD they seem to be reversed when the arrow is highlighting the choice to be made. Play All selects Scenes and vice versa. I probably won't be using this template again anyway but was interesting.
Not sure where to post this next question. Is there a way to start a post? where members can list a few of their favorite Disc Menu Templates that they use all the time? Kind of a vague question but I'm guessing out of all of the available templates in each of the versions of PrE only a few get used over and over. As the list would grow people could vote (?) on various ones and some kind of master list might be produced for future use or download. For example: PrE version (or a downloaded version like from Movipix ) used, templates used, categories (ie:general,entertainment, etc.) It seems as though a new version introduced adds some templates and takes some away. Then people are left looking or trying to figure out how to replace them (such as transferring them as we have been discussing)
Thank you for your time

Is it possible to not have a disc menu?

I want to make a dvd in which when you play it just goes straight to the movie without a disc menu...is this possible? If so, how?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

How can I transfer some or all Disc Menu templates from PrE7 to PrE9

I have seen various versions of peopIe swapping templates from one program to another, but didn't see my scenario covered. I have both Premiere Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 9 and I like the Disc Menu templates better from PrE7 better than PrE9. I am not needing to copy any text or Instant Movie stuff at this point in time. Is there a simple way to copy/paste some or all of the Disc Menu Templates from the 7 folder to the 9 folder?

Bill and Neale,
Had to try these theories we were talking about. Things went wonky when I created the PrE7 complete folder and inserted in PrE9. The PrE7 folder showed up in the disc menu dropdown list, but when I clicked on it I only got blank menu boxes. So back into windows explorer and deleted the folder I created (2.44 GB worth of menus) and just copied one folder over. From Entertainment, the Drive In Disc menu. That one shows up, seemingly correctly, in PrE9 Entertainment folder. I am enclosing a pic of folders side by side, and you can see how many more menus are in PrE7, just in Entertainment.
You can see the Drive In menu in both folders, in both programs. I haven't outputted anything with the menu yet. Hopefully it works. So, maybe just moving whatever menus a person likes from one program to another, instead of the complete 2.44 GB will work. But one more question comes up. I notice some of the folders have an (A) in front, or an (AV) or (V). I clicked into some of the other folders ie: General, Happy Birthday,Holidays and Events, and some folders they aren't used at all, and other folders are various combinations of one or all. Anybody know what they mean?
Also of note. The menu tree in PrE7 goes directly from DVD Templates to the menu folders. The menu tree in PrE9 has the menu folders in a common folder. Anybody see the reasoning of this?
Thanks again

Disc menu text distorted

I have a problem with the menu text and scene images being distorted and blurry. I simply clicked on 'disc menus' and chose 'outdoor wedding' and entered a main title with a bit of text (standard font) and the text and images looks terrible in the preview and the text is badly distorted in the finished burned DVD.
The footage was shot with a Panasonic HDC-SD60 at HA1920 in PAL. I have not mixed any other format of footage in the project. There is just one still image at the end that I created in PE and I have created a title at the beginning of the footage against a black to fading in image. The title is just text.
The footage itself seems fine on the finished DVD, it's just the disc menu looks awful and it's just a standard disc menu option without any real tweaking. I find adding and adjusting text to this menu to be very unuser friendly, so I've stuck to the standard font and tried not to muck about with it too much. (On a slight detour - all my scenes start from a fade in so all the scene images are black. I try to adjust the green dots on the timeline and this changes the images on the scenes menu but it also starts the scenes from here. Is there a way to add a picture to these scene boxes without it starting from there?)
Any help offered is great appreciated thanks.
Chris.

The workflow that I would use would be:
Create a New Project in HD to match the Source Footage 100%
Edit, Saving along the way
When finished, do a Save_As, changing the name a bit, like adding "final_HD" to it
Do all of the BD authoring in that Project, with HD Menu Sets, etc.
Burn to BD from that Save_As Project
Go back to the original Project (before the Save_As), Open it, and Export/Share to DV-AVI w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio
Create a New Project in DV (NTSC, or PAL), in Widescreen 16:9 w/ 48KHz 16-bit Audio
Import the DV-AVI
Edit, if necessary, but probably not
Do all of the DVD authoring in that Project, with Widescreen Menu Sets, etc.
Burn to DVD, using only high-quality blank media, like Verbatim, Taiyo-Yuden or Falcon Pro
Hope that helps,
Hunt

Disc Menu Premiere Elements 7

I've finished my project using Adobe Premiere Elements 7. Using the disc menu, I've created several scenes within the entire movie. I put stop markers at the end of each scene so the viewer will see only that one scene and then return to the main menu. When I choose to view the entire movie however, it stops at the scene stop markers and returns to the main menu. I understand it doing that, but didn't expect that. I was hoping it would overlook the stop markers if the movie is started on the View Entire Movie choice. Is there any way to make it do what I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks,
Bruce

I hate to be such a nuisance, but one more question..for now, anyway. lol I've opened my Elements project in DVD Architect as you said and all is well. The chapter/scene markers that I have inserted indicate the beginning of the scene. Is there a stop marker to insert at the end of the scene..or how do I get it to return to the main menu when it gets to the end of a scene/chapter??
I'm also trying to get this to work: Scene 1 goes from point A to point D but within that scene is Scene 2, which goes from point B to point C. When the viewer chooses Scene 1, it plays entirely from point A to point D and returns to Main Menu, not stopping at at the end of Scene 2, point C, but when viewer choose to watch Scene 2, it only shows Scene 2, from point B to point C, then returns to Main Menu. Hope that makes some sense...but I can't figure out how to do that.

The inserted media isn't writable

Yes, indeed. This is the reason I can't archive my iMovie projects (iMovie HD 5.0.2(111)). The route is File/Burn Project to Disc... followed by a window: "Create a Project Archive?", click "OK", the Burn window prompts you to insert the DVD, and after about 8 seconds you get the message "The inserted media isn't writable".
I am able to burn DVDs everywhere else with the same disks (Maxell DVD+R). I have only 13 GB of space left on the hard drive, and painstakingly ridding as much as I can right now. Is the lack of space the problem? The movie is 2.56 GB. Is there anything else I can do? I have already run Onyx and Mac-sweeper. Should I trash any preferences? Which ones?
Thanks a bunch.

jjjw:
Do you have a DV camera that you can export to? I know this sounds like a lame way of going about doing this, but if you could share back to DV Tape and then delete the original project and re-import to a new one, the file size will be smaller and then you may be able to work with it.
However, the down side is that you will not be able to edit any transitions or titles once this is done (which may defeat the purpose you are trying to achieve...)
Obviously,I'm still looking for an answer...
-----BTW---did you ever try using a different brand of DVD-R?

"Please insert a blank disc..." I HAVE!

I have an iMac 2.8 Core Duo. I'm running OS 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.1.
I open iTunes, go to a playlist, hit the "burn disc" button and it prompts me to "Please insert a blank disc..." I do. I've insert several brands. But iTunes doesn't recognize the blank disc. It just keeps asking "Please insert a blank disc..." After a few moments I get this pop up "You inserted a blank CD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click Ignore. My action options are "Open iTunes", "Open Finder", and "Open Disc Utility". I've tried all three, nothing works.
Without iTunes running, if I insert the blank CD disc, it shows up on my desktop -- so I know the disc is being recognized by my iMac, but why not iTunes?
Is anyone else having a similar problem and does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Bill

Hi,
same here, with latest iTunes 7.6.2. I've tried with brand new Sony CD-R and JVC CD-R: no luck. Strangely, even my Toast 7.0.2 is doing weird things: when I have no CD in the superdrive it tells me that I have a CD-RW not writable. Whenever I insert a blank cd-r, it spits it out. The only way I succeded burning a CD lately, but a ISO not a audio, is with DiskUtility.
I have the impression that's something wrong with some OS components managing the superdrive rather than the applications themselves.
Curious to know more soon.
