Trouble position image in share DVD menu option

Anyone having trouble getting an image to fit on the share DVD option menu page. Does not usual apple mask to edit and position image. Spent many hours trying to get my image which contains text not to be cut off. There seems to be no guidance on what the image size should be.
Thanks in advance,
Susan

It is a little confusing... but anything white will be interpreted as transparent.
Make the text in photoshop a different colour, and use the colour mapping tools in DVDSP to get it to look white in the normal state. You can then change the color to be anything else in the different states.
For example, if your menu background has white text as part of the background image, and your overlay has red text created in photoshop that sits directly on top of the white text, it will still show as white in DVDSP until you change the mapping. Draw a button rectangle over the text, make sure the button is selected and look in the property inspector, in the colours tab.
Set the overlay style to be 'Advanced' and the mapping type to 'Chroma'. You'll see a black, red blue and white colour control. Set the button to be 'Normal' and move all of the sliders to the left. Set it to be 'Selected' and move the red slider all the way to the right. Make sure that the dropdown box next to the red slider is also showing red in it. What this is saying is "In the red channel, use red as the colour, and make it fully opaque". Of course, you can swap the red for any other colour in the dropdown. For the 'Activated' state this is exactly what you need to do - leave the red slider on the right, but change the colour in the drop down to be what you want when the button is activated - perhaps yellow, for example.
You should now have no problem making the buttons change colour as you want.

Image resolution in DVD menu

I created an image, with text, for a background image on the DVD menu. The image quality was 300 dpi. When the disc was finished burning, I put it back in my macbook to test it out. The text in the background image was very blurry... Maybe should have used a better resolution than 300 dpi? Does anyone know what I should do?

Hi
The problem You see - has nothing to do with whether You use 200ppi or 100ppi photos
BUT the advices are very GOOD !
BUT - THIS is due to DVD-Standard - There are no High Definition DVD Quality
just standard and as Old CRT-TVs
Your Mac screen are much more supperior ! Say about 10 times or more.
So put Your DVD into a Stand-alone DVD-player and watch it on a standard TV
and You see the quality.
If You need more then either
• Take the Blu-Ray road (program,burner,BD-disks and Player)
• Or connect Your Mac to a big flat screen TV or HD-Projector and enjoy
the full quality of Your work
• In some cases - Copy back to Camera and use this to Playback - also is a way that works
*AND - The most important info !*
iMovie'08 & 09 - are not designed to do DVDs from. They both discards every second line in the picture
due to their way of handling interlaced video.
Resulting in a quality less than VHS-VCR tape material
*iMovie up to version HD6 and FinalCut any version - Handles this without any loss of quality*

Image Stretched in DVD Menu

Hey!
I'm having some issues with an image I made for the DVD menu. I created an image in Illustrator (720 x 480), saved it as a JPEG maximum quality and imported it into DVD Studio Pro. The DVD is in SD and is dimensions are (720 x 480). However, when I import the jpeg, the image is vertically stretched.
Does anyone know why this is happening? The dimensions I created the image in is the same as the dimensions of the DVD. Why would my image be stretched?
Thanks for the help!

Thanks Drew!
That Tiff suggestion brought me one step closer. The photo isn't stretched or squished anymore!
However, I'm still experiencing some issues.
So the DVD menu's display mode is set for 4:3 and the resolution is 720 x 480
The actual m2v video track's aspect ratio is also 4:3 and the resolution is 720 x 480
Once I import the Tiff file, the file's properties that show up in the window say
Format: Quicktime Picture
Width: 720
Height: 480
Layers: 0
I'm not sure what Quicktime Picture means but I'm sure it's irrelevant. What I'm getting to is, the size of the tiff is 720 x 480. However, when I put it into the dvd menu, the image is not squished or stretched but it doesn't fill up the whole screen. There's about (estimating) roughly 25 pixels of whitespace above and 25 px below the image. The image is centred on the DVD menu, but it doesnt fill up the whole screen.
When I simulate the DVD and hit the play button, once the video plays, it fills up the whole screen.
I don't understand why the Tiff doesn't fill up the whole DVD menu screen even though it is 720x480 and the DVD menu's properties are 4:3 and 720x480.
Do you have any other suggestions of what I can do?
Thanks a lot!

Unable to use an image in a DVD menu background

I've been unsuccessful in using an image as the background in the DVD main menu in PE 9. The image shows up correctly in the preview, but not in the burned DVD. I'm a long time user of PE 2.0 and never had this issue. I've tried different image sizes (720x486, 720x480, 640x480), different image formats (jpg, bmp, psd), and different menu templates with no success. The only thing that worked was specifying a frame out of the video. Please help so I don't create any more drink coasters!

Barry,
Welcome to the forum.
This appears to be a Bug in PrE 9, and there are several threads on the same issue. It seems that some Menu Sets perform OK, some will not accept a new background image, and some will accept it for either the Main, or the Scene Selection Menu, but not both.
I'll find a few of those, and link to this thread, for your reading. In the meantime, I would suggest filing a Bug Report with Adobe, so that they will know to work on correcting this problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

Trouble positioning image divs on page

I'm preparing a photo gallery page for use with Lightbox2 by
adding 145 x 145 divs to my page for my thumbnails. I inserted my
first div and it ended up at top-left of my
<div#mainContent>, then in the code, I just copy/pasted
(duplicated) three more, right underneath each other. I now have
four down the left side, that's fine. But I want 4 down and 4
accross. Someone told me that I need to float them. I can't figure
out how to do that, can anybody help?
By the way, the page is a DW ".oneColFixCtrHdr ", the width
is fixed but it's bottomless, my divs just keep going down the left
side of the page on top of each other.
Thanks, Julie

Because someone suggested it to me, reason being, these are
for thumbnails for links to larger versions for use in Lightbox2,
and he said the caption and magnification link both require some
special CSS. Placing them in their own container makes them much
easier to style. He places every picture in a div with the class
"image" and the additional class "fl" just floats the entire thing
to the left. So that's what I did. Although I'm not sure I did the
class' properly. I'm new to DW.

Dvd menu problem

The dvd menus does not accept custom background images. I can place images in the dvd menu, but when the dvd is rendered all images are gone.
What is wrong with this software? This problem has been written by others, but it seems to be no solution to it.
My images are 720 * 576 pixels jpg.
I will be very happy if someone could give me a clue...

There were several Menu Sets in PrE 9, that did not work properly, when adding a custom background image. One valued contributor, A T Romano, did a full test, and listed each "problem" Menu Set. His report is in a thread, similar to yours on the Menu Sets.
It appears that Adobe corrected those Menu Sets in PrE 10, or at least I have not read of the issue with the latest version. I never did find out why some of those Library Menu Sets (they are just PSD's after all), did not work. It also seems that ATR found a workaround for those, but I cannot recall the details now. This is one of those THREADS, with ATR's comments, and there are several others too.
Good luck,

Dvd Menu Adobe Premiere Elements 10 for Mac with bad resolution

Hi, I use a MacBookPro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 - Intel Core i5 2,4 GH - RAM 4 GB.
I just purchased PRE 10 version hoping to solve a problem I had with version 9 for Mac but not with a version 7 for Win.
I
My problem is that when I burn the dvd with the final work in PAL system, the menu of the DVD has the text very blurred at a very bad resolution.
I searched this forum and I didn't found a similar problem for Mac user.
I had the same problem with PRE 9.
Same problem if I insert a logo in the corner of the video. Very bad resolution image in the final dvd.
I tried to change the beginning resolution of the image from very low to very high and the result was the same.
Someone has similar problems? Someone did find a way to solve it?

Dear Bill, many thanks for your answer.
This is the Project Preset chosen.
As the source is a JVC Everio with hard disk, I chose PAL - Hard Disk - Widescreen 48 KHz
The source is as I said a JVC Everio in SD size. I saved the files in a backup Hard Disk. They are .mod files.
I don't know how to see if a Menu Sets is HD or SD. I tried almost all the available Menu Sets always with the same blurry results.
These images explain better than words.
Note that the firt image in the DVD Menu is perfect, not blurry. And this add a little bit of mystery :-)
this is the scene selection that has text blurry
And this is the logo I put in the right bottom side of the video. It is blurry. I put a high resolution image and it was blurry. Then I tried with an image .png with the same width of the video (720 pixels) and this is the same blurry effect:
The solution I use in these days to have goog results is very time expensive.
I make the editing work in my mac, without logo and menu. I make a dvd. Then I import the VIDEO_TS folder in my old pc, with my old version of Adobe Premiere 7.0. I insert the logo, I make the menu and then I make a dvd with my old PC and the resolution is the one I want.
Obviolusly I'd like to do all the work in my Mac...
The same problems and solution I used also with PRE 9.0
By the way, I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements in my Mac instead iMovie because I need to do videos longer than 2 hours. And iMovie has this limit.
Many thanks in advance for help. There is someone that is using Mac and PRE 10 with GOOD results?

How do I hide/remove the Invite People menu option under Share in Office 2013

We have attempted to disable all the cloud features of Office 2013 using GPOs. However, the "Invite People" menu option under Share in the Office backstage view still shows up. Is there a GPO or reg key to remove or hide this option? See image

Missing share menu option using right click

Hi everybody,
I've been seeing quite a few videos that with twitter integration in OS X mountain lion, I am able to share the url or pictures directly from web browser (Safari). Something like what this video does:
http://youtu.be/nUc97k4Poko
While I am able to share links of websites by clicking the share button beside the address bar, I did not manage to see any share menu option when I right click on an image within the browser. I tried it on several sites and on various images but all I could do is open the image in new tab/window or download and save the image somewhere. Why is this so?
I am still pretty new in the world of mac OS so please kindly guide me along if you know the solution. Thanks!

Regarding the ATI option;
This option appears only using Windows XP.
Using XP you can reach the ATI settings with right click on the desktop -> Properties
In Vista you should find the ATI Catalyst in Start -> All Programs -> Catalyst Control Center
Regarding the battery time;
Battery working time depends on the notebook usage and on the battery.
If you are running heavy performance applications then the battery will last not longer as one hour.
You can extend the battery working time if you would dim the screen brightness and would use a stronger battery with higher mA value.

TS4522 Trouble burning Blu-ray or disc image using Share

On version Final Cut Pro x 10.0.6, When I try to share to a DVD disc it tells me there is not enough space on the DVD disc , the project is 2:30 minutes, I put dual DVD .
After that just update on version Final Cut Pro x 10.0.8
I have a tried to burn to a Blu-Ray to the hard drive as a disc image using Share>Blu-ray. when trying to share Blu-Ray to the hard drive I get this error after a day of transcoding:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1024.)
I am using
Apple Mac Pro ,Mac OS X, Late 2008)
Version 10.7.5
Processor: 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Total 8 core.
Memory: 10 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 FB- DIMM
Graphic: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Please any one can help me for this trouble shut.

This may (or may not) be a separate issue – crashing rather than the DSP Publishing error.
Two suggestions – both relying on Digital Rebellion.
First use their Preference Manager to trash your preferences. Most of the crashes I've experienced over the past year of using FCPX have been remedied by trashing pref files.
Second, DR has a suite of utility apps called Pro Maintenance Tools. PMT has a crash analyzer that will provide both diagnostic info and recommendations. The suite isn't cheap, but there is a trial version you can download to evaluate.

Please any one haw this problem that can help me for this trouble shut.

This is the error message I get. It's after FCP X is done with making the BMV folder and runs that disc burner app. There is about 850 gigs on the drive I want to save the disc image to, lots of space.
I thought maybe the drive the events was on was affecting this process, because it was full. I cleared out about 30 gigs and still got this message.
I never had any problems creating a Blu-ray disc image before. That's the optimcal way, IMHO, because you can burn the BD in Toast as the disc image and Toast won't reencode or do anything, it just burns the disc image and the disc has played on ever Blu-ray player I've tried it on.
Anyone have any more ideas?
Thanks

I cannot save a frame from a video following the recent Apple recall to replace my hard drive. There is no menu option with share and save frame. Do I need to reinstall Final Cut Pro?

Since the recent replacement of my hard drive, I cannot save a frame from a video. There is no menu option with share and "save frame" I used to be able to do this.
Please help

In the Share popup select Add Destionation to go to the Destination preference. Drag still image to the sidebar to make it available in the popup.

Is there a 'Play All' option for DVD menu?

Hi,
I was hoping someone can possibly help here... I have created a DVD menu in iDVD with 8 separate movie items each with their own button (with underlined feature), but with no sub menus or additional pages.
Incidentally, these items are home movies, transfered from old Hi8 tapes, edited in iMovie then added to iDVD.
The 8 items have all successfully loaded to the iDVD menu and will play when each item is selected (in test mode).
However, I was hoping to also add a 'Play All' button so that the whole DVD content can be played as one continuous piece if required, rather than being limited to being able to play only individual items at a time and then having to return to the menu page in order to select the next item.
Please can anyone offer any help here? I'm very new to Macs/iDVD etc so simple, basic guidance would be much appreciated!!!
Many thanks,
Robin-UK

Hi Robin
Welcome to apple discussions. I use Toast (personal choice only) in this situation since it has a play all check box. But then you don't get the fancy menus.
Click Here
There is no such check box within iDvd for selecting play all but you can set up iDvd's preferences to address scene selection menus when a movie/s is added. And here's how you do that:
A second option might involve adding the 8 separate movies to the slideshow feature within iDvd for continuous play. And yes you can add photos as well as movies to idvd's slideshow feature with a number of added benefits which I won't go into here. But if you want more info on this procedure just look at a few of Old Toad's prior posts / replies on this iDvd forum.

Image size pop-up menu no longer an option

"Reduce the size of the attached images by choosing Small, Medium, or Large from the Image Size pop-up menu at the bottom of the message window. The menu appears when you drag or attach a picture to the message."
I used to have this option. I just noticed it isn't there anymore. Tried deleting the mail preference file, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
clint

Nevermind, I just figured it out. My screen capturing widget saves files as .jpeg instead of .jpg. And Mail didn't like that.

Why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

Your project is already saved in an iMovie Library on your hard drive. Re-installing iMovie will not affect your project or event files.
To reinstall iMovie, just drag the iMovie application from the Applications folder to the trash.
Reboot your Mac.
Go to the Mac App Store and look under Purchases for iMovie and click Install.
You cannot edit your iMovie 10 project in iMovie 9.
iMovie 10 is so stripped down that one really needs to either go back to 9 or, if they can afford it, move up to Final Cut Pro X. If you're strapped for cash at the moment, you can download a trial version of the new Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and get 30 days of free usage out of it, even if you've already been using a free trial of 10.0.9.
