So look at the Stop/Eject main menu below.
ADOBE ENCORE CS6 BLU RAY TUTORIAL MOVIE
I prefer to build my buttons into the background movie in my editing software (Final Cut) rather than add them in Encore, and that’s the approach I’ll outline here.Īnother crucial point to understand is that each button highlight can only be one colour. All the disc player can deal with is a background movie and the highlights. Yes, you can import your background movie as a Quicktime into Encore and then add buttons to it within Encore, but when you come to build your disc the software will render those buttons into the background movie. but what about the buttons themselves? These have to be part of the background. Hang on – background, button hightlights…. The user will only ever see one of these at a time. The button highlights, which show the user which button is currently selected.


I’m going to assume you already know the basics of Encore and can find your way around Photoshop.įirst of all you have to understand how DVDs and Blu-rays (henceforth collectively referred to simply as “discs”) work. I’ll use Stop/Eject‘s main menu as the example. If, like me, you want to do it all from scratch rather than using any of the built-in templates, the process isn’t particularly intuitive, and was sufficiently different from DVD Studio Pro (the software I’m used to) to leave me scratching my head from time to time, but here’s how I did it in the end. Today I thought I’d share the process I figured out for creating looping menus in Encore for DVD and Blu-ray.
