ADOBE ENCORE DVD
Classroom in a Book
There is no apparent change in the Menu Editor window, because the text is off-screen at
0 seconds. However, the background has been replaced by the video asset you created in
After Effects. The beginning frame of the movie should match the menu background
perfectly.
Note: If a button appears, delete it and the new timeline it created in the Project window, and
then be sure to press the Alt key while you drag the file into the Menu Editor window.
9 Select the Zephyr menu in the Project window, and open the Properties palette.
The Zephyr_background.avi file should be listed in the Video field in the Properties
palette. If it isn’t, press the Alt key as you drag the Zephyr_background.avi file into the
Menu Editor window again.
10 Choose File > Render Motion Menus.
To display a menu in motion, Adobe Encore DVD must first render it. If you do not
render the motion menu, Adobe Encore DVD will display it as a still menu.
11 Choose File > Preview.
The video plays once, and then a black screen appears.
12 Close the Project Preview window, and save the Adobe Encore DVD project.
Activating a motion menu
You animated the menu in After Effects. Now you will specify how the motion menu
should behave in Adobe Encore DVD.
