losing audio in a looping video for DVD menu

[joselan320]

Hi All,

I created a looping video following the Steve's Tutorial, 'Creating a looping video for DVD Menu'. Everything looks fine in the preview, including the background Auto Music chosen in 'Audio Tab'.
However, when I am creating the Menu and select this looping video as background, only the looping video without music is inserted, and apparently I have to choose a new background music.
Is there one way to conserve the original background music when the loop video is inserted as background in the DVD menu?.
I browse looking for a file with the 'Auto Music' options of Audio Tab (because the loop video was created using one of those options), but there is not acces to open it.

Another related topic....I am using the first clip as introductory video before the Menu show up. When this introductory clip finish, there is a jump effect to the next scene with the Menu. Is there some way to have a soft transition between the introductory clip and the Menu?.

Regards,

Jose

I suggest that you extract (and save) the sound from the video clip using CREATE SOUND FILE and then add the saved sound file to the menu as the BACKGROUND MUSIC. I am looking at VS version 9 which should be much the same as in version 10 and 11.

Please view:
menu Transitions and then half way down the sub heading Menu Transitions.

Hi Steve,

I read the menu transitions, but then How can I move half way down the sub heading Menu Transitions. I am using VS10+.
