To export multiple Final Cut Pro audio files for AC-3 encoding:
1 Enable the audio tracks to export.
Be sure to disable tracks that should not be exported, since Final Cut Pro will combine
all enabled tracks into a single stereo file.
2 Choose File > Export > Audio to AIFFs.
3 Configure the output file and click Save.
Note: Be sure to export using a 48 kHz sample rate.
Using LiveType in Your DVD Studio Pro Project
You can use LiveType to create backgrounds with text for motion menus or to create
video titles that you can place in drop zones. This makes it easy to create exciting titles
using a wide variety of effects, including bouncing, stretching, and screeching.
DVD Studio Pro automatically takes advantage of the transparent background if your
LiveType project uses one. This allows DVD Studio Pro to composite the text characters
over the other menu items when your LiveType project is added to a drop zone. You
can even make the drop zone the same size as the menu’s video frame size, so that the
text appears exactly as it does in LiveType.
Importing a LiveType Project Into DVD Studio Pro
Importing LiveType project files into DVD Studio Pro eliminates the need to render a
QuickTime movie of your LiveType title each time you want to use it in DVD Studio Pro.
To import a LiveType project into DVD Studio Pro, do one of the following:
m Drag the LiveType project into the DVD Studio Pro Assets tab or Menu Editor.
When the LiveType project is dragged into the Menu Editor, you can choose how
DVD Studio Pro uses the project from the Drop Palette that appears.
m Choose File > Import > Asset, select the LiveType project in the dialog that appears,
then click Choose.
m Add the folder containing your LiveType project to the Video tab of the DVD Studio Pro
Palette. You can then add the project by dragging it to the appropriate place, such as to
the Menu Editor, Assets tab, or Timeline.
