Encore Help needed :@

Post by cwf »

Can anyone help me with Encore please. I have Encore 1.5. I want to know how to have video files playing in the background of the menu along with a background picture file? Also how to have video file transitions between different parts of the menu.

I know this maybe simple to you but im stupid lol

The video background is simple the transitions are not so. You will need Encore, Photoshop and Premiere.

Background

The video background is just in the menu under video, it has an icon to the left called the whip click and drag this to the video in the project.

Transition

Design the two menus that you want make sure they are finished. Right click on each menu and select 'edit in phtotshop'. When in phtotshop save the two shots as .PSD files.
Start premiere and create a new project import the two menu files wake them in the timeline do a transition. Render this to Mpeg and then import back into encore. Change the routing of the butons from the start menu to play the new transition. Set the end action of the transition clip to link to the end menu.

Have a look at the WMV
