DVD Menu Tutorial Advanced User Notes

Further to my 29 page PDF Tutorial detailing how to create a DVD Menu from scratch

Installing the Ulead DVD Menu Plug in 2.0

Download and install the following zip file.
http://www.steve-jones.pwp.blueyonder.c ... lug_in.zip
To work correctly you must have Photo Impact 11 installed in the default installation directory. Unzip the file to C: and ensure you have the “Use Folder Names” box ticked.

When you re-start Photo Impact 11 you will find the DVD Menu plug in located under the “Effect” list on the toolbar.

Highlight Images.

For a “Home Made” Highlight Image to work correctly you must make sure that you have converted the “Object Type” to become a “Path Object”

Background Video/Audio

You can have a moving background video rather than a simple background image.
You can do this easily with the DVD Menu Plug in.
On the “Assign Object Name” Tab drill down the list on the right until you arrive at “IMG_BG” and click the entry.
Now on the Bottom left of the Dialog box
Object Class = Background

Item = Background Image.

2 drop down boxes now appear where you can select a video to be used as your backdrop. If this video also contains sound you do not need to select anything in the second drop down box “Background Audio.”


Ah well..... I shall put it into a bit more detail later on but my wife has told me I'm sitting at the computer too much and have to paint the ceiling :cry: :cry:

See you all soon.

Well, I do have the DVD menu installed in PI10 so I may as well add it to PI11 as well! Haven't had time to try this out yet, still wondering if I can use these menus in PictureShow 4 since that's the only one I'm familiar with at the moment.

Steve, tell the wife to hire a painter :)
