Frage von klaus k.:
Hello, I try durchzusteigen precisely because of the DVD specifications, and try to figure out what is possible and what is not.
It's about a menu, where I would like to work with an overlay. The way I see sas, as an overlay may consist of only a single color. is that correct? So I can not have photos, etc. show at best a solid circle, arrow, line, etc. Is that really so?
I once had an x-caught any DVD and I watched that Menpes. Since it is as follows.
Menu consists of different texts can choose which one. They are all gray on a black background.
So if we now drüberfährt with the mouse, the writing gets a little thicker and a gray transparent to about 80% of the background on the left-Page AND a red dot appears.
I wanted to reconstruct with Encore + Photoshop, but it can not. Either light beam and point are both red or both gray. How do you get out something?
Thank you for your trouble

Salut Klaus.
Also in this thread:
http://forum.slashcam.de/encore-photoshop-problem-with-button-help-me--vt37527.html
Button focused on colors and overlays. The thread is not easy to read, because Constantine with Encore and I with DVD Studio often talk past each other.
But, first: It is.
Secondly, I want to overlay define "views to all. It is an extra file or a Photoshop layer is
placed over the menu background (movie or picture) (hence overlay). Then for example can be a circle or a symbol in the form and size of the intended buttons or a script. The Color that will overlay these objects have in the finished DVD is not shown, it only a limited area in the picture than matte colors for self-generated by the DVD player, or so-called
subpicture highlight - color. In Encore (where? Manual set!) Which color is used as a punch in the overlay color (the DSP is by default black and white as transparent as fully opaque interpretation, which can be set arbitrarily, eg, may be synonymous, the red color keying ). For DSP that can be displayed
per button state a maximum of three colors. (From the thread above seems to indicate that it is in Encore as well). So, the overlay must synonymous File / tri-level to be, so that each color of the punching another highlight-color can be assigned to (where? Manual!).

Antwort von klaus k.:
hey cool, many thanks.
Now I have but unfortunately a new problem that I get after much tinkering synonymous not resolved.
My menu now looks like this:
[code: 1:00 a33cf1c7]
KEY POINT 1, sub-1a, long text
Sub-1b, text
MAIN POINT 2, sub-2a
U-point 2b
[/ code: 1:00 a33cf1c7]
The font is gray and will turn red when you select. Everything works great. But I would be happy that the respective main point also coloring. So, if sub-1a is a choice to be the main point 1 to be synonymous red. The same applies to sub-1b.
In sub-2a and 2b is analogous to the main point 2 red.
My problem now is that if I select sub-1b, the synonymous sub-1a is red. However, not completely, but dependent of the text width of sub-1b. Ui, we understand it?
Also of Unterpnkt 1a is "sub-1a, long" red and "text, he" continues to gray. That's probably because Encore as a "box" that pulls everything to the button and one of then goes synonymous with the sub-1a and makes him in some places (red).
I hope someone that understands and has a solution:)
Danke.klaus!
Antwort von Axel:
Ui, we understand it? I think yes. The solution is one of the many tricks while authoring. You ought to the main point and to the two separate sub-item
"move these boxes, so you have effectively two buttons. You ought to link them together, so that they will be displayed along synonymous and have the same function.
How do you make this link into Encore?
Perhaps you will go on it yourself, or someone else knows it.

something like this I had geadcht synonymous to me, but I do not 2 schaffs buttons linking to each other. the aid is synonymous to nothing or I can find nothing.
I fear it almost never goes (or does anybody know how could it go?
slowly frustrated klaus
Antwort von Axel:
... I'm afraid it almost never goes ... ... probably told the people in the Middle Ages after their first flight attempts and gave up. By the time you'll get the help of more competent Page still an option:
As long as you on the menu does not a movie as the background music still unsuccessful, I recommend the Photoshop Layers Metode. Here is synonymous every button and every "highlight" a new layer in your Photoshop file. The "boxes" (hotspots) are taken into Encore only to specify any number of buttons. Neither their position nor size limit still have something with the display on the finished DVD to be done.
Antwort von peterfeuer:
Hello Axel, and thank you for your commitment!
Funny as I
have all the buttons created in Photoshop, then as you suggest. Is to say, for each button, there is a layer in the unterschiedl. layer for the corresponding states are located.
The problem is the following:
Both the layer set of synonymous sub-1a than 1b, I have a copy of the plane pulled HAUPTPUNKT1 to get as this point is indeed also overlay one. Do not know how else should go!?
Thus, Encore, and now attracts just the hotspot of UP 1b across UP 1a (yes is synonymous logical). What I did not Vesteh: Why is the overlay of UP 1a is displayed at all, just
because another hotspot is randomly dadrüber? UP 1a is still not active at all! Why then do I see the overlay?
As always synonymous, the layer solution was definitely not the desired result. A plausible solution would be to combine mE actually 2 different buttons together so that they can be activated simultaneously (but shall have no common hotspot). That is what appears with Encore (not function or the function is very well hidden).
Well, I'll probably have to look next (ver). I'm still grateful for every tip, every note!
bye

Antwort von Axel:
That is what appears with Encore (not function or the function is very well hidden). In fact, dominated Encore probably no scripting (direct commands s.den DVD player, with which the behavior can be precisely controlled). But that means nothing. As they say, a rogue and a half. Authoring is the creative work around the
"no go", and if a crack-like slashcam would be a member
grovel online would be eating the problem.
But my Layers Menu misunderstood you. There are no hotspots and no synonymous actual highlights. The menu will be completely made in Photoshop and work on the player like you would when picking a button to make a Photoshop-profile level.
Advantages: Charming and full-color gradients with all the bells and turn.
Disadvantage: As with a Photoshop file so synonymous can be integrated into the menu, no film and no synonymous Music.

Originally I also wanted different levels directly and can hide, because I was told but that is not de facto (no restriction of Encore but in the DVD standard).
Ok, I will stay tuned:)

And if it helps: In DSP (which is no Adobe program) is something I have to "Menu" first delete from the list and from the palette menu with Add Layers to select. Then I edit the Photoshop Menu in the Menu Editor. Again, I must draw four buttons for example,
four such cases, "but when you click on these hotspots DSP then asked what level of Choice-activating this button will be displayed.

ie you can button in DVD SP constitutes a markeiren and unterschiedl for different states. Assigning levels of PSD-File? wow, just as I had imagined myself actually authorn, but Encore does not present with: (
