Importing an After Effects movie into Adobe Encore DVD
Yo u’ll import the movie into Adobe Encore DVD as an asset. Though you’ll use the movie
in the menu, it is only a component of the menu. The Photoshop file you imported will
provide the framework for the menu, so the subpictures will be intact.
1 In Adobe Encore DVD, click the Project window to make it active, and then choose
File > Import as Asset.
2 Select the AVI file you just rendered in After Effects (Zephyr_background.avi), and
click Open.
