Letter kerning in DVD SP (buttons)

Is there a way to space out the characters for buttons, titles etc. created in DVD studio
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff - if it's of any help, I would say do your text outside of DVDSP if you want to have fine control over the kerning. The tools for adjusting font characteristics in DVDSP are rudimentary to say the least - no leading controls, no real kerning adjustments, no tracking. You can basically change font size and accept the proportional changes that introduces.
You are far better off using Photoshop (or Illustrator) to create your menu as a simple overlay and making use of the font tools in those apps. I sometimes find it useful to do a rough layout in DVDSP to get an idea of where it all goes and then move to Photoshop to do the actual graphic. You can't however, export the menu image from DVDSP to act as a guide for your work in Photoshop... the best you can do is take a screen grab and upscale it in photoshop for a background layer.

  • I just bought a 3rd gen ipod touch on ebay. i went to set up wifi in settings, but when i got there it wouldnt even let me push the wifi button, it was a faded lettering that said" wifi... no wifi" im at a loss. ive tried everything.

    I just bought a 3rg gen ipod touch on ebay last week, and when i tried to go to the settings to set up wifi, it wouldnt even let me push the wifi button. it was that faded lettering that read " wifi................ no wifi" i cant even push the button to set it up. it was restored to factory settings when i bought it. ive tried EVERYTHING i can think of. i tried restoring it twice, and ive tried just turning it off and back on. Any help is very much appreciated.

    If a restore to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's a likely indicator of a hardware fault, meaning you'll need to or want to set up an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.

  • DVD eject button on laptop

    Brand new Laptop HP Pavilion, the dvd eject button has not been opening for six month. has anyone else had this problem.

    When my laptop was brand new, its made this same bug, but it ended for a while ago, I think it was a BIOS bug. Now do that if I push the bottom of the laptop under the DVD drive, it will open. This is a "good" thing, when you writing a disc, and push the bottom accidentally while take the laptop to other place... Try to update your BIOS.

    Okay, your point?
    What does that have to do with the initial issue?
    Do you actually know what the issue is, or are you simply rambling?

  • DVD Stop Buttons

    Please could somone tell me why my dvd does not return to my main menu when the playback button is pressed second time?

    Hi Tom,
    This is governed by the menu call feature. For bouncing between track and menu. You need to check the inspector box for both the track selected and the disc behaviour.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • T420 DVD eject button - terrible placement; driving me insane

    Every time I pick the laptop up or am laptopping in bed I am constantly hitting the DVD eject botton on the T420.  This is my 10th ThinkPad over the years and have never had this problem.
    I'd even prefer a blank to fill the slot  or a battey option than have it the way it is now.
    Is there a way to disable this button or be able to lock it with some kind of driver that can sis in the systray?
    Can Lenovo give us a new optical drive?

    Hmmm ... I think I gotta drop by a Think shop to test it for myself too
    ColonelONeill, did the DVD rom eject when you hold the sides of the laptop? It does not "curve" in like the previous models?

  • DVD menu button rollovers not working on PS3

    I am totally new to Adobe Encore, and I tried to make my first DVD project yesterday.  I used the default "Party" menu which I then edited in Photoshop to include my own graphic assets and text.  The project is just two videos of a play that I recorded for a friend - one video is the Friday night performance and the other is the Sunday night performance.  So there's only two buttons on the menu.
    The DVD works fine on my Mac.  The buttons do their rollover thing when I mouse over the two menu options.  But on my PS3, the rollovers just don't appear.  If I hit the X button when the menu appears, it plays the first video. If I hit the Down button first, and then the X buttons, it plays the second video, so obviously the function of the menu is working correctly, but the rollovers are not appearing.
    Does anyone have any insight into what I might have done wrong?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Not sure exactly how the PS3 handles Sub-picture Highlights (what appears in the Over/Selection state), as I have never used one.
    To see the layout of the Menu better, can you post a screen-cap from Photoshop, with the Layers Palette open, and the Button Layer Set of one of those Buttons twirled open, and with the Visibility of the Sub-picture Highlight turned ON? That will give us the opportunity to see if something is wrong with the naming conventions of the Button Layer Set, and also see what the Highlight should look like in its rollover state.
    If necessary, this ARTICLE will give you some tips on the screen-cap.
    Good luck, and maybe a user, who knows the PS3 will drop by with a quick and easy "fix."
