Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to make a motion menu in encore and have spent the last few days watching every demonstration video I can find. I feel that I know enough now to make a menu in photoshop, import it into encore and the add video/audio and get the buttons working. However I want to make this as close to an official Hollywood style menu as possible.
I've attached two screenshots from the Sopranos blu ray. The video background plays on a loop and the front menu has three options (episodes, languages and features). When you click any of these the background video continues to play and a new menu pops up with further options. Then you can move down to the bottom, the pop up menu disappears and you can click another, a different pop up menu appears etc - all the time the video continues without being disrupted.
The tutorials I've watched with motion menus usually only have wo pages, menus and chapters, and when changing between one and the other the video restarts itself. Can adobe do the sam style of menu that the sopranos use where there is literally only one page and everything can be accessed via pop ups? If so can anyone point me in the direction of a guide? Would I need to create say four different versions of the menu in photoshop i.e. menu with nothing selected, menu with option 1 selected and so on?
If encore is not capable of doing this does anyone know a program that can? I've been watching lots of different blu rays recently to see how the menus are structured and the vast majority adopt this everything pops up over the one motion menu structure, as opposed to the DVD structure of every selection moving to a new page.
I hope this make sense and thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
