Responsive Video on Menus

I was wondering if there's a way to have video appear on a menu when you select a button. If you've got a screen on your menu, how do you get the assest showing in it to correspond to the button that's selected. I want it to be more like a little preview screen of each button choice.

You can cheat by hiding the background and revealing the clip but the clip will not be in the same position at each time
Something like this

But you can put clips next to the button and just have them hidden (clips in the background part of menu, with the menu having a video background)

  • Background video for menus'

    Newbie: Want a standard scene as menu background for use in different movies. Do I have to edit and burn to DVD to import or is there a better way? Using PE9. Sorry if this has been answered numerous times before. Recording in avchd.

    No. You just add it under the Disc Menus tab as part of authoring your DVD.
    I show you step by step how to do this in my books. http://Muvipix.com/pe10.php
    But basically, you select a menu template under the Disc Menus tab, then click to select its background in the Disc Layout panel. Once you do that, you'll see the Browse button for locating the video or still you want to swap in as the background.

  • Responsive videos will not work

    In Captivate 8 I have inserted two video files both mp4 format.  It is a responsive format and the videos will not load on iPad.  What am I doing wrong????

    This is a copy of the code in Dream Weaver... I feel like it should show the video file name somewhere.... Captivate changed the file names to Vi2.mp4 and Vi4.mp4.  Any thought on this being the problem?

  • 10 Videos, 9 menus....any help?

    I have 10 videos and 9 menus.  The Menus will say "Did you understand what you just viewed?"  The person watching will answer Yes and go to the next video or No and watch the previous video.  I need the first video file to play, then the Yes or No menu that I now have....Yes leading to video 2, No repeating video 1, then after video 2, another menu pop up with Yes leading to video 3 and No leading to video 2, etc, etc.  Then at the end I need a form to pop up with time and date stamp for the person to enter their name and print.  This is a freebie project and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Any tutorials on basic flash stuff like this?

    I went to redpluim.com and selected Printable in the tabs along the top.  I slected a coupon randomly and clicked on the "printer" icon.  The website automatically began downloading the print driver to my hard drive and I was presented with the following:
    Afer upgrading to Mavericks or any other version of OS X, the coupon print driver has to be reinstalled in order to print coupons  My wife prints coupons all the time and this is a "normal" occurance after a software upgrade.  The print driver downloads to the Download folder.  If it does not auotmatically present you with the option to install the driver, you may have to go into the Download folder and find the file.  Double click on it and you should be presented with the Install option.

  • Video in menus

    I'm trying to recreate a gif animation by making a DVpal video in FCP and looping it as a button on a menu page. This works ok but the quality is terrible. It's passable at full screen but when reduced to button size(quarter of screen) it's rough and pixelated. Any ideas?

    Try this...
    Connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferenes. Click the iPod tab. Click the videos tab under that. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
    Note: Your preferences may look slightly different.
    If it is set to automatically update all videos then try right clicking a video. Go to convert selection for iPod. See if it converts.
    Also, do the videos play fine in iTunes? Finally, do you see the videos under music-->songs?
    You may also want to know that any videos set as TV Shows will not transfer on to the iPod.

  • How can I fade in menus with background video?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to this forum (and to DVD SP) and have searched without being able to find out how to get my menus to work in this scenario:
    I have a short (6s) background video that does not loop and ends on a still frame.
    There are two drop zones, both with semi-transparent areas so that I can see the video play underneath. One drop zone has my title (as text in DVD SP) and the other has my "play" button.
    I want my video to play for 5s and then have all the other elements fade in over the last second.
    Here's what I've tried (thanks to suggestions from here and dvdstudiopro.digitalmedianet.com--which uses js that really bogs down Firefox, BTW):
    A. I created a custom patch using PS that's a 6s .mov file that's simply a black mask that fades to white.-->this causes my drop zones (which are layered psd files with a mask of their own) to fade up, BUT the custom patch overrides the drop zone mask and causes the drop zone to become completely opaque.
    B. I tried separating the background video and menus into separate menus in DVD SP. The first menu plays the video, then jump to the second menu which contains the last frame of the video as a still with the drop zones and button on top.-->this works but there is a noticable delay going from menu 1 to menu 2 and it looks horrible.
    C. I created a 6s .mov file in FCP that does exactly what I want, but when I bring it into DVD SP, the quality suffers.-->I exported without compression from FCP and with, same bad results (especially in text).
    Is there a way for me to get this to work gracefully?
    I put a still of my menu with callouts at this url if it helps:
    http://infactfilms.com/dvdmenu/
    Thanks very much and I appreciate the wealth of info in this forum.
    Cheers!

    Hi
    Read this note about Menu rendering in DVDSP:
    If you edit all your elements in FCP, adding the graphic fade in/outs, texts, etc and then export it directly with Compressor to MPEG2, and use that file/s as Menu backgrounds, DVDSP will not re-encode these menus.
    If you add in DVDSP text, graphic for buttons, drop zones, etc it will need to render and encode the background again to add those graphics.
    Take care of what video format you choose in FCP for your background edit. DV codec works really bad with graphic elements; you better choose DVCPRO50 sequence settings and export directly from FCP through Compressor. That way FCP will use the raw info from each frame and not the render files as if you export as Quicktime Movie.
    Hope that helps !

  • Flash Video with DVD-like motion menus -- Is this possible?

    Hi all,
    I just joined this gropup. I have some SMIL 2.0 presentations
    with synchnorized multiple audio (several languages supported) and
    video as well as DVD-like still and motion menus. These are
    semi-transparent menus and actually are super-imposed over main
    playback area (root layout in SMIL).
    Can Flash Video has menus in it?
    Can this type of a/v synchronization and menuing be done in
    Flash Video?
    I don't want to write as SWF with menus since clips and # of
    menus on screen and placement might be different from video to
    video. These are for some training videos.
    To give a background, in SMIL I have an application server
    (Jboss) which is dynamically creating SMIL based upon database,
    user inputs and menu selections. What is basically sent back to the
    browser is SMIL page markup including playlist of clips up to next
    menu point. Once all clips are watched and user selects menu button
    to continue then a new SMIL is generated and processs repeated.
    I am thinking off porting this over to Flash Video because
    currently clients need RealPlayer (has SMIL 2.0) support to be
    downloaded and installed. Another local app to manage!
    Any ideas or recommendations?
    Thanks and kindest regards,
    -Mark

    You can build interactive DVDs with video and audio, but no Word documents (at least not as part of the interactivity). DVD SP can certainly be used to create interactive DVDs. The advantage is that interactivity will extend to DVD players, not just computers.
    If you want very rich interactive content, with Word docs, PDFs, etc. Then the best program would be Director. However there are some caveats with Director.
    1) The learning curve for Director is extremely steep. You would be better off hiring a freelancer who already knows the program, then spending all the time learning all the ins and outs of the program.
    2) Director is essentially a dead program. Since Adobe acquired it a couple of years ago, they have made no upgrades of the program. Nor have they made any announcements on continued development.
    3) The content you develop will only be playable on computers, not DVD players.

  • Video Quality on dvdsp Menus

    Hi Ive just moved from iDVD to DVDSP
    and noticed the Quality of the Video on DVDSP Menus looks very poor compared to Video on menus
    IDVD?

    What are you doing with the menus? What sort of video are you bringing in?
    To get the best quality, you should send your standard definition video through Compressor and create a MPEG-2 file. Create your overlay file in Photoshop. Bring both files into DVD SP and define your button areas. Do not add any text or graphics with DVD SP.

  • Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

    Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
    How to handle?
    Regards, Juergen

    Juegen
    No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
    The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
    You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
    Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Adding Chapters and Menus to  VTS Folder?

    Hello
    I have a DVD that was copied from a VHS tape.
    Its a concert video without menus or chapter breaks.
    I want to have each song be a chapter so how do I break it
    up? I don't even know what software to use...I have DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut Pro.
    Thanks for reading

    The content on the VHS tape was recorded from the broadcast of a concert that originally aired on MTV way back in 1983..It may very well have been copyrighted, but I thought recording programming for personal use was legal?
    Basically, yes it is copyrighted.
    Recording for personal use, well that is a bit complicated. Time shifting/space shifting is permitted.
    http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/USCopyrightLaw (take a look at the Contributory and vicarious infringement section)
    And the landmark case itself
    http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=464&invol=417
    Some interesting reading material about how time shifting is getting changed a bit

    Take a look here for some more info
    http://www.ipjustice.org/IPJ1201Comments.shtml
    I always thought duplication for the purpose of distribution constitutes infringement....
    That one would be infringement but it does not mean others things are not infringement. Some things can clearly constitute criminal infringement as noted in the items above.
    But there is alot of gray areas also.
    MTV from 1983 - cool (liked the music from back then). But I am not sure if answering anymore somehow would violate the terms of this board.

  • Blu-ray Motion Menus in Encore CS4

    Okay. Just upgraded to Encore CS4 from CS3. Few nice changes.
    Have crashed about 10 times (in one hour) doing simple things like, assigning folders, playing video, adding menus. Can anyone say maintenance release???
    Here's a question...
    WHY CAN'T I SEE THE VIDEO I HAVE ASSIGNED TO A MENU WHEN I SIMULATE?
    This was working in CS3 now it's NOT in CS4. Tried on two different machines, one with ATI card an the other with nVidia!
    ADOBE... are you there???

    That's right. CS4 simply behaves different to CS3!
    I have never had to render out a menu to preview it. We only create motion menus for Blu-ray and only use highlight layers from Photoshop. In CS3, when you right clicked on a menu in Encore and clicked "simulate from here", you would see your highlight layers over the video immediately.
    NOW, with CS4, you must render out the menu after clicking "simulate from here" to see it. VERY annoying but I'm sure Adobe did this for a good reason.
    Pop-up menus I am glad to report actually work! We haven't figured out how to create motion pop-up menus yet but I suspect this is not available yet in Encore.
    If anyone knows any differently, I'd love to hear it.
    What's fixed and I'm SO GLAD is that during simulation, the SKIP FORWARD chapter button WORKS!!! In CS3, you had to pause the video and then could skip forward. Now, like any other normal program, while the video is playing, you can skip forward.
    I would thank Adobe for fixing this but, let's face it, this just should have worked in CS3!

  • Rendering motion menus from DVD ST PRO

    Urgent question regarding motion menus in DVD ST PRO,
    I’m creating a DVD including lots of motion menus; on top of my background video I have a template using some overlay shapes from DVD ST PRO. When ”building” the project DVD ST PRO start to render the menus....
    The motion video is some good MPEG2 footage from compressor, but is this rendering process during build, a second compression of the already compressed MPEG2 material ... a second compression using the compressor setting from DVD ST PRO preferences? In other words a compression of already compressed material?????
    Can I get a better motion menu picture quality by adding my non compressed asset to the project and let DVD ST Pro render and encode the motions menus??? (Only one time)

    Jobbe:
    From the DVDSP User Manual:
    =====================================================
    About Menu Rendering
    Depending on how you create your standard menus, they may have to be rendered
    into an MPEG-2 video asset when you build your project. The menu must be
    rendered if it uses any of the following:
    • Assets assigned to a button
    • Shapes
    • Drop zones
    • Text objects
    • SIF (MPEG-1 or MPEG-2), 1/2 D1, or cropped D1 video
    Standard menus that only use a background (whether still or video), an overlay, and
    one or more audio files do not get rendered.
    Whether the menu gets rendered or not can be important for a couple of reasons:
    • The time it takes. Rendering menus is a process that composites all of the menu
    elements, one frame at a time, and creates an MPEG-2 file out of these composited
    frames. Depending on your system and the length of your menus, this can take a
    significant amount of time to process. See “Menu Preferences” on page 115 for more
    information.
    • Extra processing can affect video. If your menu background video must be rendered,
    the extra processing has the potential to change the video a small amount.
    Anytime you decode compressed video, process it (such as by compositing shapes
    or text over it), then recompress it, you can expect some subtle changes to the
    background video. In those cases where you have meticulously encoded your
    background video before assigning it to a menu, this extra processing could
    noticeably change the video.
    When SD menus are rendered, they are encoded at 7 Mbps using the one-pass VBR
    method. HD menus are rendered at 21 Mbps using the one-pass VBR method.
    =====================================================
    Then in those cases you better use a non compressed video as background.
    Hope that helps !

  • Video quality strangely lacking

    I've used idvd 5 a couple times burning videos and menus and was satisfied with the result.
    I've just burned about 18 minutes worth of media on Best Quality setting and, thought the preview looked fine, I wasn't happy with the burned result. The video looked a lot brighter than in the preview version and also seemed to have a lower contrast. I had spent quite a bit of time in FCP getting the brightness and contrast levels where I wanted them so I'm a little disapointed. I tested the dvd on my friends mac and got the same problem. To my surprise, the dvd looked fine on my TV but I need it to look good on a mac.
    Any suggestions?

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 and H.264/AVC video import issues

    Hello!
    I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and using Premiere Pro CS5.5.
    I record HD videos using a Canon EOS 7D in .mov format. I don't have any issues importing these files to Premiere, but I do have problems with the convered equivalents. I'm currently using AVS Video Converter 7 to convert the original files to .AVI files.
    The main difference between the two versions (original and converted) is the bitrate and audio codec, but Premiere only imports audio when I drag the .avi file to it. What strikes me dumb is that a poor editor like Camtasia Studio has no problems reading the files (both the audio and video track), but Premiere does.
    I also have the MainConcept Codec Suite, but that doesn't help.
    Can someone please give me a better solution than telling me to convert the converted videos back to a format supported by Premiere? I would prefere jugling with codecs and make it work rather than spending time converting videos back and forth.
    Intel Core i7 920, 12GB RAM, nVidia GeForce GTX 295.
    Thank you!

    @Jim Simon
    I have 7D footage on my hard dive right now.  4.5 minutes takes up
    about 660MB.  Which is right in line with AVCHD running at 12 to 13 GB
    per hour.
    I don't know what kind of footage you got, but I download recordings from it daily and I think that entitles me to say I know better. Maybe what you've got isn't original 7D HD footage.
    As for the solution...what I'm saying is that the "best
    practice" IS the solution.  You're creating a problem by not following
    the best practice.  If you follow that best practice, you will stop
    creating the problem.
    I already have problems. To be more specific, I'm not looking for future advice, but for ways of solving the problems I currently have. Telling me what to do from now on won't help me import and use in Premiere the already compressed files.
    @banzemanga
    Well, nothing will be resolved by complaining about it.

    I'm not complaining as much as I'm saying Premiere is really PRO.
    However, i am curious why MainConcept Codec Suite can't import your file.
    Have you tried using a different video container differnt than *.avi?
    Yes, I have tried a dozen, but to no avail.

    Most people using Premiere want to maintain high quality...not throw it away by using converters.
    I'm using native files too, it's just that I don't keep them that way for years.
    Editing native is seen by most to be a huge PLUS!
    Yes, I would say CPU-wise.
    Later in the evening I have found what seems to be the best solution to my issue.
    AVS Video ReMaker and MainConcept can do wonders together when it comes to importing compressed files to Premiere PRO. AVS Video ReMaker's MP4 export almost instantly converts files with no quality loss and very close to the source file's size, and these MP4 files are recognized as native clips in Premiere (with stereo audio track and clean responsive video) thanks to MainConcept. It is excellent! The only downside is that the CPU gets more stressed (about 20-30% more of a Core i7 920), but the compressed video runs smooth (HD@50fps), needs no rendering and takes the same ammount of space as the source compressed file.
