Is there a way to animate blu-ray pop-up menus?

I've seen several commercial blu-rays that had pop-up menus that animated onto the screen (sliding from the side or bottom of the screen, etc).  Is there a way to do this in Encore?
Thanks.

  • Preview Blu-Ray Pop-Up Menus in Project Preview Window

    Hi-
    I'm trying to test how my blu-ray pop-up menu looks and functions in the project window, but I can't seem to find a way to get my pop-up menu to appear (other than in the project menu frame) . On most set-top blue-ray players, there's a button labeled "Pop-Up Menu" or "Title Menu", but I don't see one in the Project Preview Window when previewing. Is there a way to test this before actually burning a blu-ray? Maybe I'm missing something obvious. I hope so. I'm not sure if it's related, but I can't seem to get the "Title Button" on the disc Properties panel to change to anything other than "Stop", either. (Using Encore CS5)

    Currently, Encore does not support popup menu preview.
    But, as workaround you can see the popup menu over the video for a particular frame.
    Steps -
    1. Link a popup menu with a timeline
    2. Select the popup menu in project panel
    3. Go to Popup menu tab in property panel
    4. Select the timeline from background timeline drop down
    5. enter the timecode(frame) for the timeline.
    You can see the popu menu over a video for a particular frame.

  • Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

    I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
    I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
    Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows.
- Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
    The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines.  The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background.  There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
    This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus.  I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video.  All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically".  All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode".  This disc burned perfectly.
    I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus.  The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0).  There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages.  None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
    I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above.  After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn.  That didn't help.
    Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with).  Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts.  There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray.  Unfortunately,  I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message.  The project just needed to get done.
    The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page.  Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere.  The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc.  Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
    Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
    1.  If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project.  Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1).  If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order.  You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
    2.  As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible.  All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied.  I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied.  Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer.  After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced.  Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
    3.  Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu.  This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height.  I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons.  For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour.  It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background.  I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
    4.  I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project.  There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
    5.  For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

  • How do I have Blu-Ray pop up menus linked together if I'm using multiple timelines?

    I have a 6 timeline project that I put in pop up menus for.  Each timeline asks for it's own pop up menu to use.  The pop up menus seemed to need to be created with the multiple chapter option to work for me, I couldn't create stand alones and link them together because the timeline asks for ONE pop up menu associated with it.  I then created 6 separate pop up menus (each one ended up with about 3 pages) one for each timeline.  I tried to link POP UP MENU1  to POP UP MENU2 with a NEXT button at the end of the last page of POP UP MENU1.  When I drag the whip to link it to the proper pop up menu when I actually look at the button the link is the current pop up menu not the one I want it linked to, so I am unable to do this.  The pop up menus function properly on my Blu-Ray player- If I am viewing material from timeline 1, I can pull up POP UP MENU1 and arrow back and forth to the three pages on this, POP UP MENU2 functions the same way for timeline 2.  etc.
    Project Settings:
    Blue Ray
    720 X 480
    EncoreCS5
    Quad 4
    2.4 GHZ speed
    150 GB free space on drive
    NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card
    6 GB Ram

    First of all, the pop up menus can not be linked to each other.
    If you want, you can have more pages on a single pop up menu and link all your timelines or chapters to the buttons of the pages and then link that pop up menu with more number of pages to all of the timelines. In this way, you can have the option to navigate to any chapter of any timeline while any timeline is playling.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • The best way to play blu ray discs/movies UP TO DATE

    I am a huge TLOTR fan (lol) and up until recently I thought the quality of the movie i have(in digital form) was decent or even great, I recently bought a 15" inch macbook pro(2.2ghz)-- my first apple computer--- and when I played the same exact movie, the quality just looked terrible, in fact every digital movie I own doesn't look as stunning or high quality I thought it was. I'm slowly upgrading my movie library to a better quality one and the first thing I have to have is "the lord of the rings" trilogy(extended version) , so I guess the closest i can get to high picture quality is by buying those blu ray discs, one problem: how do I play blu ray on my macbook pro and will I experience a better quality than those normal DVDs.
    According to your experience with blu ray, which is the best way to play blu ray discs on a macbook? ( please provide steps or pointers since I'm new at this)
    Also, any alternative suggestions to be able to watch the movie in high quality is welcome, i just thought blu ray was the closest thing to perfect quality. Keep in mind i can't buy from itunes since I don't own a credit card.
    TL;DR : I need to play blu ray disc movies on my 15"macbook pro 2011, what's the best way to go about this to get as close to full quality as possible. Also, would it make any difference if I bought blu ray disks versus the conventional DVDs (regarding movie quality)? Since the screen resolution of the 15" pro is not enough to experience "full HD quality"?

    I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.

    After deleting an email address from Contacts is there any way of preventing it from popping up in the To: field of Mail when one starts to type in a contact name?

    if you are not on ios 6, then all you can do is wait.  if you have deleted the address from your contact list, then it will live on for a while in your 'recently used' addresses.  as you use new addresses, those older ones fall down the list, and eventually fall off altogether  (unless you use them again).  Have patience, it will go away.
    Or do the update....

  • Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?

    Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?  I really hate the new way all of my chats are in one window and I have to manually open them in a new window.  I miss having them pop up in a new window as people contact me.

    Hi,
    The Chats can be double clicked off the Messages window into a separate window and then the Messages window closed.
    What can't be done is to start the chats in new windows.
    It also pays not to use th DOCK icon to "read" new messages when the DOCK badge shows as this reopens the Mesages main window.

  • Best way to burn Blu-ray if transcoding is already done? Toast 10?

    I've seen the answer to this question in the past, but just spent some time searching the forums and couldn't find the answer.
    I currently choose the route of FCP > Share to burn Blu-rays.  No problem, everything's good (except limited menu options).  However, once I close out of the program after the very long transcoding time, what is the best way to make another copy of the blu-ray without transcoding again, and without the first blu-ray I made (for example if the client already has the disc and wants another copy)?
    I believe Toast 10 is one answer, but before I go and update my current Toast to 10 I wanted to see if this was the preferred method, or, if there is a way to do it in Compressor.
    Thank you!
    Eric

    In the ~Library, Application Support>Apple Qmaster you'll find Create Disk. Open it.  If your project is on the recently opened list, you can burn additional copies that way.
    Or consider saving your file as a disk image; choose Hard Drive as Output Device. Pretty sure Toast will take an img file. Or use Disk Utilities.
    Good luck.

  • Will there EVER be a usable Blu-ray designing software on the Mac??????

    I am SOOOO frustrated right now. I have a brand new Mac with FCP 7. I also have Adobe Encore. I also have Toast. I have been trying to use all three to make one BRD for 6 days! I first used Encore. The disk it made was all messed up (nothing new). The menu loads up, but the buttons won't highlight for about 45 seconds. Click on a button, and instead of going to the video, it starts the menu again. I assume it's me, so I open Encore and test there, everything works fine. I burn again, same problem.
    I then decide it isn't worth fighting, so I try burning a Blu-ray from FCP7. I open the share menu, choose one of the awful built-in menus, and set it to go. I had it burn the BRD image to a harddrive, as my burner is on a different machine. After 12 hours!!!!! yes, 12 hours! I get an error saying the DSPPublishing didn't work (?????????). I hit try again, and a 10 minutes later, same issue! I hit cancel. I check the drive, and there is a .264 file and an ac3. I think, well, at least the video encoding is done. I try to make a blu-ray from FCP again, and it re-encodes the video!!!! 12 hours later, same error!!!!!!!!!
    I decide to bring the finished files into Toast. The menus SUCK. The chapter markers? GONE. I try burning the disk anyway and it tries re-encoding the video files!! I go back and make sure it's set to 264, and the re-encoding is set to never. I try again, and it tries to re-encode the video again anyway!!!!
    THIS *****!

    Let me clarify a bit. I have been making Blu-rays for quite a while using Encore. And while the process has often been very painful, the results are good. I normally Export first as mentioned. However when Encore failed (and I still can't figure out why), I tried FCPs Blu-ray feature. So essentially, I have exported this three different times, and have no disks to show for it.
    As for Encore, I like that you can make BRDs, that you can customize menus, etc. However, the fact that it locks up or crashes all the time is infuriating. The fact that you cant use multiple clips without causing the BRD to freeze at the end of each clip is maddening, and the fact that its interface has the speed of running a 3D rendering program on a Commodore 64 is nauseating.
    Encore COULD be a great product, but as it stands, it is a nightmare to use!

  • When Will There Be Updated Support For Blu Ray Authoring????? Good Question

    Hi
    What is the Hold up for Blu Ray Technology? Why is Apple dragging their feet for our great Macs to produce Blu Ray Hd authored DVDs when the windows is already ahead? I dont dont understand it, does anybody have a clue? , Ha!Ha! your secret agent news would be welcomed! Happy Editing!
    Tim C.

    Some rumors have been saying it will be available in the next release of Studio (FCP 6). Rumors say they are debuting this during NAB (April 16 ish). There are also rumors of FCP Extreme for about $10K per license, but I'll let you have fun thinking about that one

  • Is there any way to animate a JSlider and a JProgressBar?

    Hi all,
    I'm working on an assignment using JSliders and JProgressBars in a Java application. I've been trying to let my JSlider and JProgressBar move by itself i.e. reset the slider's current value to a new one after a specific period of time...Tried using a timer and thread but just can't seem to get it moving. Is there any way to set the JSlider to update itself after a specified time period? Same goes for JProgressBar?
    At my wits' end, really appreciate if anyone can offer me some advice and help...Thanks.

    Hmm...use a timertask that resets the value and triggers a repaint in the event thread? That should work at least in theory.
