Motion Filter w/o a typical Motion Menu

[Raven]

Hey guys!

I'm trying out Video Studio, and during the DVD creation part of it, I am trying to figure out a way how to get Motion Filter to work without having the Motion Menu attributes (i.e. withoug a 30 second preview of the movie runnning). Basically, I want there to be a static image (which is the first frame of the movie) with my custom background, but with a Motion filter in the background as well so that I can have more than 30 seconds of music playing while having something like bubbles continuously floating in the background.

Any help, or direction on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to the forums,

Have you tried to create your special motion menu background in the editor? This is just a thought, as I have not tested it. In the editor place your image in the timeline, apply a video filter like bubbles. Set the duration to the time you want, 3-3½ minutes. Now go to Share>Create Video File.

Then in the burn module where you can add your background, add this video file you just created.

EDIT

Disregard the above. I tested this, and to use any type of video/animation background, you must use the motion menu option. This in turn has the 30 sec limit. Using a video background without the motion menu option, just displays a static image, even if a video is used..

It is alright. But thanks for giving it a shot. Much appreciated. =)
