Video in a motion menu changing to white after build

I decided to post this question in a new topic to see if it gets more attention.
I should preface that I have been using DVDSP since version 1.0. I am not new at this. Everything has been working swimmingly until now. I have changed, nothing.
The menus in my projects have motion video backgrounds and the buttons are made from shapes that have video assets in them. They run an average of 20 seconds looping.
I recently installed the so called "crossgrade" version of Final Cut Studio and it's family of software. I do NOT have an intel machine. But, it is a killer G5 Dual.
All of my OS etc is up to date. I install all of Apple's suggested software updates dutifully.
Well, the video in my menus is showing up blank (white) after the project is built. DVD Player shows it was white. A burned DVD-R that has been passed around the various DVD players here shows the same white background.
I figured the last time that I just had a corrupt project and inserted some Photoshop images in their place. (it was for a client that wouldn't miss the video menus)
However, it seems to be continuing to do this. My current project is from a project template I made myself and have used a lot. With no trouble.
After trying the seemingly popular switch from software to hardware on final encode fix, I decided that maybe it was all my older project templates from before the crossgrade. The switch has NOT worked for me.
So, I just recreated my project from scratch to be sure. Build. View and it's still white with my various text and graphic images showing only. (They happen to be white and now hard to see)
I am about to find and dump my preferences. But, I am still baffled by this, and NOT hopeful.
Has anyone encountered this and found a solution/cause?
HELP!!

Unfortunately, dumping preferences DID NOT work for me. These are the Library user preferences for DVD studio correct? Not to try and sound like a Mo, but just want to make sure. I am ready to kill some Apple people!!
It worked fine until the **** upgrade -- I cannot have this wasted time with clients involved!!!!!
Any further help is HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks.

PanelCollection's View menu label became white after skinning

Hi OTN,
I have applied a custom skin to my ADF application, following official guide.
trinidad-skins.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
<skin>

<trinidad-config xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/config">

<skin-family>SBAskin</skin-family>
</trinidad-config>In master.css there is some slight styling of header and table rows.
After that one of page's panelCollection's "View" menu label became white.
A label in facet:toolbar is also white.
To find out the cause of the problem I deleted everything from master.css. But the labels are still white.
Here is a page structure: http://img843.imageshack.us/i/structure.png/
Please, take a look.
If I switch back to fusionFx family, the colors are ok.
How can I return colors back to normal in current custom skin?
And also, please take a look on a commented code row.
I thought I need to extend fusionFx.desktop as soon as fusionFx is a default skin-family. But <extends>fusionFx.desktop</extends> gives nothing.
That should I extend?
Thanks.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Seems, white color comes from decorative-box with theme="dark".
But why isn't it white with default skin family?

For all of you who are having Motion Menu render problems - try this

Just humour me for a minute.
I have another Sonic application, and a known bug in the Motion Menu rendering applies to 29.97DF projects only.
IE, NTSC.
Often the video in a motion menu will fail to mux.
There are workarounds though.
1 - Make sure your GOP structure is 15 at most
2 - Make certain the frame length of your video file is divisible by the GOP structure. IE, it must be a multiple of 15 frames.
3 - if these both fail, reduce the bitrate of the video 500kbps at a time until it muxes. Most will work at 7,000, some need to be 6,000 and there are even times when you need to go as low as 4000.
Try it - Encore uses a Sonic Authorcore, so it's worth a look.

>Are you saying that NTSC 29.97 divided by 15 is okay?
Not really.
What I am saying is that your movie frame length should be divisible by the GOP structure with a GOP of 15.
With NTSC video, you can have GOP lengths
i up to
18, but it is not mandatory to go to 18 - 15 is a perfectly acceptable figure. You could use a GOP of 12 if you really wanted to. What this means is typically the number of frames between I-Frames.
MPEG-2 encoding (AKA "Moving Pictures by Educated Guesswork") P & B frames work something like this:
i P-frames provide more compression than I-frames because they take advantage of the data in the previous I-frame or P-frame. I-frames and P-frames are called reference frames. To generate a P-frame, the previous reference frame is reconstructed, just as it would be in a TV receiver or DVD player. The frame being compressed is divided into 16 pixel by 16 pixel macroblocks. Then, for each of those macroblocks, the reconstructed reference frame is searched to find that 16 by 16 macroblock that best matches the macroblock being compressed. The offset is encoded as a "motion vector." Frequently, the offset is zero. But, if something in the picture is moving, the offset might be something like 23 pixels to the right and 4 pixels up. The match between the two macroblocks will often not be perfect. To correct for this, the encoder computes the strings of coefficient values as described above for both macroblocks and, then, subtracts one from the other. This "residual" is appended to the motion vector and the result sent to the receiver or stored on the DVD for each macroblock being compressed. Sometimes no suitable match is found. Then, the macroblock is treated like an I-frame macroblock. The processing of B-frames is similar to that of P-frames except that B-frames use the picture in the following reference frame as well as the picture in the preceding reference frame. As a result, B-frames usually provide more compression than P-frames. B-frames are never reference frames.
In short, the I-Frame is the full description reference frame. A P frame is also a reference frame but describes the difference between the last I-Frame & itself. A good analogy is when you are on the telephone & describing what you see to a friend. The initial background description (The street, the sky, what you can see etc) would be an I-Frame. Then you describe a person walking down the street - that would be your P-Frames, as you are only describing the i changes
in the scene.
The bitrate can also affect things - I mentioned this too, and if a motion menu will not mux, first make sure that the film length is divisible by the GOP, and that the GOP is 15.
If it
i still
won't mux, drop the bitrate by factors of 500 until it will.

Change color in an Encore motion menu background

I am thinking about using an existing Encore menu but I would like to take the moving background which is shades of blue and change it to shades of another color. I've done this in PS for fixed backgrounds by right clicking and sending the menu to photoshop.
However I am not sure 100% on how to do this for a pre-built menu with motion? I assume it is some kind of workflow of adding the menu to an Encore project and then sending the video from that timeline (as a video track not a menu?) to Pre Pro and using color tools there to replace color, etc.....then rendering it with an appropriate codec and somehow marrying it back with the original menu buttons, etc. in Encore..
Just not sure how to make that all happen! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
BJBBJB1

You are on the right track. A Motion Menu uses a Video Asset (and maybe an Audio Asset too), for the motion.
All you have to do is create a Video Asset, or modify an existing one, Import that into Encore as an Asset, and then use the Pickwhip to link to that for the Motion Menu Background.
Once, those Video Assets for Motion Menus were WMV files, but in those days, Encore was ported for the PC only. Now, with X-platform capabilities, the format is M2v.
I would take the Motion Menu Background Video into PrPro, adjust the colors, and change it, in any way you need, then Export that for Import into Encore. If you have used a Menu Template, then there will be an existing Motion Menu Background Video already associated with it. Just use the Pickwhip to change that association.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is it possible to have a video loop while audio plays in a motion menu?

Hi!
Here's the deal:
I have a seamlesly looping 8 second video clip for my motion menu, but the audio file for that menu lasts 1 minute. For rendering time/disc space and bit budgeting purposes I would like to use the video file as a loop while the audio file plays trough in my motion menu.
Is it possible to have the video file loop while the audio plays trough, or do I have to make my video 1 minute long too?
Any help will be appreciated!

The video must also be 1 minute long too.
You could always loop the 8 second clip though.
Load up Premiere, add your loop & 1 minute audio clip.
Set 2 seconds silence at the head of the audio.
Loop your 8 second clip 8 times to give you a 64 second video clip.
This will give you 2 seconds of silence at the trailing end, but there is really no other way

Why motion menu bitrates can't be changed

When you click "Animate" buttons for a menu, this turns it into a motion menu. Encore renders all motion menus at 8 mbps, cannot be changed. This wastes a lot of space on the DVD if you have many motion menus.
All assets have Transcode Settings. Motion menus are the lone exception. Is there something special about motion menus that Transcode Settings couldn't be implemented? Is there a reason why motion menus must be rendered at 8 mbps while everything else can have different bitrates? Is there something technologically difficult for Adobe to make an option to have Transcode Settings for motion menus?

Please refer to your post in the Cow forum.
The best thing for you to do if you would like to have control over the bit rates that are used to transcode motion menus is to file a
feature request
here on the Adobe site.

Video in 16:9 Motion menu preview being cropped

I can't find any discussion on this but am maybe asking the wrong question.
How do I get the 16:9 preview buttons on a 16:9 motion menu to play without cropping the top and bottom of the source clip? I don't understand why a 16:9 clip doesn't fill a 16:9 preview window- and can't find any setting which fixes this.
4:3 preview windows play fine.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Steve

I'm not sure that you're describing what's happening well. Can you describe what you're doing in a little more detail? Or could it be you're actually doing letterboxing, not 16:9?

Video intro to still Menu

Hi all..
There is quite possibly a very obvious answer to this but a quick search here didnt reveal anything. My last DVD i made with a video intro (track) leading to a separate menu which graphically was like the last frame from the movie intro or opening track. It didnt flow smoothly as smoothly as i would like as there was a little flicker in the movement from the opening track to the main menu so this time i would like if possible to have the buttons appear at the end of the video intro where i have a background already prepared for the text. The video mv2 i have placed in the Menu to paly once. I understand how to make the overlay menu but i want it to come in at the end of the video clip. Is this possible?
Many thanks and sorry if this is a dumb question
Dave

You are basically creating a motion menu with a loop point - your background footage needs to include the animation and the fade in of any button text, as Silal points out. You then need to hold the button text still (whether or not other parts of the menu continue to move) for AT LEAST 30 seconds - which should be long enough for the user to make a choice. Many DVDs hold the image still for a lot longer than this.
Take a frame from the section where the button text is still and use it as a background in photoshop. Add a new layer and create ONLY the objects that you want to be your button highlights - an underline, a star, a tick or dot... whatever. Hide the background layer and save the result out as a .pict file. You can use colours or gray scale, but you will only have four shades/tints in all to play with inside DVDSP. Import the .pict file (which will look mostly white with unconnected shapes that will line up with the menu text) into DVDSP.
Drop your motion sequence into a menu and look in the property inspector. Slide the 'loop point' control to a position just after where the button text has faded in and become still. Add the .pict file as the menu overlay and now treat it as a normal menu - draw out the button rectangles, assign targets, etc. You can use the property inspector to change the colours of the highlights if you need to.
When you return to this menu it will (by default) play from the very beginning, which means the user will see all of the animation again. You can use different techniques to ensure that they don't, depending on the version of DVDSP that you are using.
In v4 there is an option to return to the loop point - to use it you need to create a script and add the relevant command using the script editing tools. It is a one line script and you set the track end jump and/or menu call to point to the script. The user will then only see from the still portion onwards.
In earlier versions of DVDSP you do not have this command. You need to either create two menus, one with the animation and still section and the other with just the still section. The animated version is the first menu, but all jumps and menu calls go to the second menu so that the user only sees the still piece.
Alternatively you can get in to doing some post build editing using tools like DVDAfterEdit or MyDVDEdit. These allow you to break in to the codes for the DVD and add your own controls. It is a relatively simple matter to add in a conditional statement which sets a value after the menu has played once. If the value is set then all further jumps to the same menu will go to the loop point. Whilst it is relatively simple to do, it is not for the feint hearted... and as with any work like this you only ever do it on a copy and make sure it is working before you release it to your client. There are tutorials to help you do this if you want to try it, but I strongly suggest you use either of the other two approaches first!

How do I get video clips out of menu button?

iMovie 9.0.8 iDVD 7.1.2
I have a 90 minute video with 11 chapters. I found in "edit" menus something called populate drop zones" and clicked it for main page and two sub menu pages. When trying to burn, I got the error message "- There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project."
Fine, I'll take out the damned videos out of the menus....BUT HOW? There seems to be no way to "unpopulate drop zones" I tried dragging a photo into the menu buttons without success.
I shouldn't have to start over and wait another hour for iDVD to read my iMovie project every time there is some change to make to drop zone content.

Sounds like Revolution and there's only one dropzone in the top menu. Type Command + i to bring up the info window for that menu. The dropzone will be the one in the middle:
It'll be the same for the submenus.
iDVD allows up to 15 minutes of playing time in motion menus. If you're referring to the buttons for the individual chapters you can change the button type to just text. Or if the video in the drop zone is longer than 15 minutes just add a still photo to the drop zone instead of a movie.
You can get an idea of the total menu playing time in the Project Info window:

Motion menu / poor quality / low resolution

Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble with motion menu resolution.
I'm working on a project that consists of six short video clips. As first play, I'm using an asset that contains all six video's. After this, I want to introduce a motion menu showing the six clips - allowing the viewer to watch certain clips again and again.
To achieve this, I created separate tracks for each of the clips, and dragged these from the outline window to the menu window.
The project is working (basically) how I want it to, except that the resolution / image quality of the clips in the motion menu is not anywhere near sufficient.
I know that the 'simulate' option is limited in this respect, but I'm talking about the menu as it is shown in apple dvd player. I first tried building the project and viewing it in apple dvd player, and even burned an actual dvd to see if that would help - which it didn't.
I have searched the manual and these forums for answers but haven't been able to find a solution.
Here's hoping someone has an idea!
Thanks in advance,
Lianne.

Hi Drew, you again Thanks for your response.
After reading the manual chapter you mentioned and a chapter it refers to, I decided that my menu does need to be rendered. It said in the manual that changing the final rendering from hardware to software should result in a better result. I tried that and I do think the resolution is marginally better - still no good though!
The video tracks themselves (which were used to create the buttons in the motion menu) look fine, even when I stretch the window to the max. This suggests to me that the video in itself is okay. I don't understand why the same clips look so bad in a menu where they are only 1/8 the size? I would expect quite the opposite...
Might it have something to do with the way I've created the buttons (i.e. dragging from the outline window?). I'm going to try and create the menu in a different way.
In the meantime, suggestions are still more than welcome!

Help Customizing Motion Menu

Hello:
I am trying to customize one of the motion menus that came with Encore CS2. Its called Television Menu.em   This is the first time I've tried customizing a motion menu. I've had no problems customizing the non-motion menus, even animating them in After Effects. The first problem here is that I need a widescreen version which of course isn't included. So I took the 4x3 menu and edited in Photoshop by creating an NTCS DV Widescreen 720 x 480 canvas, and then copying and pasting everything from the original .psd file into it. And then put in a nice background that blends with the color scheme. So haven't really changed anything from the original menu .psd file. Saved that out, brought it into Encore, and connected it to the .wmv file that comes with this particular motion menu. Rendered it out as a motion menu. Preview. Nothing!!! No snow on the TV! I haven't even gotten to the steps where I move all this into After Effects to animate stuff in and out, because I can't get the thing to work right in Encore even without doing any After Effects work. Best I can tell, it must have something to do with the fact that I made the .psd part of the menu into widescreen and for some reason, it won't play the connected video file. Sure would be nice if I could find this particular menu in widescreen, but since I can't, I just thought I'd make it myself. Hmmm. I am stumped as to why I can't get past this seemingly simple step. Must be something I don't understand.
Any ideas or suggestions cheerfully accepted!
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Addison,
Here is a sample which renames customers and search entries from crm menu:
"menu-customers-manage":
      "title": "Site Members List",
      "parent": "menu-customers",
      "weight": 1
"menu-customers-search":
      "title": "Site Member Search",
      "parent": "menu-customers",
      "weight": 10
You have to specify parent attribute for children menus which you rename.I hope it helps.
Regards,
Radu

My motion menu's look like trash! Help!

I made some motion menus (in Motion) and am using them in a DVDSP project.
Anywho, the DVD motion menu images look pretty pixilated, and some of main intro motion flickers a bit when it's moving. Got any ideas why this is happening?
Also, if it's helpful, I created them in 720p, but creating a SD DVD. (I also created my video track assets in 720, however, like I had hoped, DVDSP did encode these for standard.)
Thanks!

But is there any way to "compress" the motion file down to 16:9 NTSC, and have it still be a motion file?
When you first start a project, you can chose the size of your file (NTSC, 720p, 1080i, etc.) Is there any way to change this after the fact?
Your best bet is just to use Compressor to do conversions though you can change project settings but they will not carry through. You can see what happens if you take an HD preset(or SD preset) then Project Properties(+J) and how things get changed in positions. You are usually best off deciding ahead of time what to set things up as. Usually a HD setting will work fine to go to 16:9 SD via Compressor.
When you compress your Motion project, at least with the general concept of compression for use with DVD SP SD, you will be changing it to an SD m2v. It is always best to do conversions outside of DVD SP for the most control and usually the best results.
If it was a 720P project you can send the Motion prohject out to a 16:9 Compressor SD preset and it will make a 16:9 SD video (m2v) for use in DVD SP.

CS6, standard motion menu loops to black

Since I have beaning having the problem with rendering my blu-ray project, I worked on a DVD project today that I had previously completed in CS5.5
My client requested some changes, so I made the modifications in Premier Pro, created a MPG2 file,
and replaced it in the encore project. This is a motion menu (standard "NTSC_Floral Menu").
Since this worked previously I had no doubt it would work again, but when I viewed the DVD, the menu (motion) only runs for about 30 seconds and goes to black. The thumb nail buttons are still visible (non animated).
The exact same thing happens in Preview!
Loop is set to forever!

Great, thank you both for your replies.
The motion menu is not created by me but one of your standard menu's included in the library. All I did was import the video and audio, create thumbnail buttons and linked to chapter points (non motion buttons).
Also when I replaced the asset, I did not use the "replace Asset option". I essentially did it the old school way (dumb way) by importing the new video asset only (not the Audio) with a new name. The change made to the Ppro project was just text. I then deleted the old asset, recreated my chapter points and relinked to the buttons.
Again, this problem never happened in CS5.1, only now in CS6.

How to loop a motion menu... seamlessly

First off, thanks for all the great info and help I've gotten off this forum lately. I'm just getting into Encore after being more used to Premiere and Photoshop, so while it seems familiar, there are lots of little questions I keep coming up with. The Lynda.com tutorials are excellent, but not real good at taking questions!
Now my issue:
I am trying to creating a looping motion menu. I have followed the steps on the tutorial, creating my AE composition via Dynamic Link, but they use a different effect than I want, and when it's time to do the looping, I don't have the same options. In the tutorial, they use the 'fractal noise' effect and in the effects controls there is a setting for 'Evolution' and 'Evolution Options' which they use to sync up the loop so it's seamless.
However, I am using the 'Wave Warp' effect, and have created the motion I want, but there are no such controls for this effect. Consequently, when I go back to Encore and place the composition into the menu, there is a visible jump at the end of the loop.
Any ideas on how I can seamlessly loop this motion?
Thanks again
bobby

Jon,
Yes, I see that this is really an AE question. Because I accessed AE via Encore, I had in my head that it was an Encore issue. But now I may be back in the Encore realm:
I used your info to set my effect at a duration of 4 secs and keyframed the first frame to 0x + 00.0°, and the last frame to 2x + 00.0°. That seemed to give me the seamless loop I wanted, as it played that way in AE. However, when I went back to Encore, I run into a problem.
On preview, and on a burned test disc, the menu played fine for one cycle (4 sec). Then it flashed to an all white background for about the same length of time. It then reverted to the motion background once through again, and continued to alternate between menu and white screen that way. I took a look and discovered that I had left the menu duration at 10 secs from an earlier setting. So I changed it to 4 secs to match the motion menu duration, assuming this would fix the problem.
It did shorten up the white flash to where it's now just what looks like 10 frames or so, but it's still there. I suppose I can try to fudge it, trimming the menu duration by a few frames until I lose the white flash altogether, but a) seems to me I shouldn't have to do that, and b) I question if the loop will be seamless after trimming like that.
Any ideas why this is happpening?
Thanks!
bobby

Motion Menu Presets

Hi,
I like to create Motion Menu presets as described in the documentation. I created a video layer in Photoshop. After a while I found out that I have to save the templates from Encore and not Adobe and in the menu.
Unfortunately, when I use my newly created presets, I don't get the m2v files automatically import and linked to the menu in Encore and so the motion effect is gone. How can I create these templates that the work like the shipped ones?
Regards,
Claus

I created a video layer in Photoshop.
The traditional method: you do nothing in Photoshop for a motion background (unless you are talking animated buttons). You select the video (and separately audio) in Encore and add it to the menu. Encore takes the "Background" layer from the menu and uses the motion video instead.
Photoshop now has some video capabilities (and then those changed, right?), but I think you're only asking for trouble to try to add motion inside photoshop.
Unfortunately, when I use my newly created presets, I don't get the m2v files automatically import and linked to the menu in Encore
To make a template from your menu, you export as template from Encore, add back to the library is you wish, AND the motion video (m2v) must also be saved to the library (or other location) to be available when the menu is used.
