appear in the menu template with two new graphics objects. Drag these into
the layer with the Bitmaps to be replaced. Renaming is unnecessary, since
the surrounding layers do this, too. Localization, scaling and moving on the
screen is analogous to Photoshop programs.
Play back menu in MAGIX Video Pro X3
After editing, a PSD file is created, which is imported into MAGIX Video Pro
X3 again and must then be assigned to a menu page as a template.
If access takes place via "Edit externally" see above (view page 210),
this
is done automatically during saving and closing of the graphics
program. Otherwise, use the button "Import PSD" to do this.
This imports and converts the PSD (saved to an automatically generated
folder in the folder Content\DVD\Layouts, with TPL files and the generated
bitmap files).
Create DVD menus without a template
It is recommended that an existing menu template is adjusted first with a
graphics program. This exercise will help you learn about the functions and
structure of a DVD menu as a PSD file to create menus without using any
templates.
You can create PSD files without templates if the following is observed.
MAGIX Video Pro X3 can only use bitmap layers from the menu PSD file.
Text layers are read as a bitmap (graphic) so that MAGIX Video Pro X3
cannot make any changes to the text. Layer effects, etc. cannot be read by
MAGIX Video Pro X3. For this reason, all layers featuring additional
features in the graphics program need to be reduced/combined to bitmap
level.
The correct naming of layers is very important! MAGIX Video Pro X3
assigns the layers and layer groups to the menu items via their names,
which makes their correctness important. The characters added in front
(view page 210) of the layer names should therefore be observed.
A corre
ct menu PSD contains the following elements:
background
menu title
x movie buttons with preview image, frame bitmap, text for menu, text for
numbering, highlight
one chapter menu button per movie button with bitmap and highlight
3 navigation buttons: in front, in the back, and the root menu
Background: The background utilizes all layers from the PSD file from the
very back to the foremost "usable" layer groups. All of the layers up until
