Create Menu ???

[tambra77]

what is the best tool for me to use to create my own menus for videostudio x3 pro??? static and with motion???
is there a site with free menus that other users have created and are sharing??
what type of format file should I be looking for??
and can it be added to the menu list??
and how to do this??
I looked thru the forum and could not find any answers to these questions..

thanks for any help with this..

It depends which burning engine you are using with X3. If you are using the module which came with the X3 package -- namely DVD Factory 2010 -- I think you may be out of luck. Corel introduced a package of menus made by a well known company (for menus) but they are not in a format we have used here before. I am not sure what graphics package might allow them to be made from the ground up, which is what I suspect you have in mind. Mind you, they can be adapted with your own photos and videos substituted in the menus themselves.

However, if you are talking about the Movie Factory 7 SE program that Corel recently released to make up for the deficiencies in the other burning module, then you might be in luck. They use the .ufo format, and the *only* program that can make that format is Corel PhotoImpact.

Unfortunately, Corel appear to have taken the decision to dump that program, though it is still a good one for graphics more generally. We are trying to convince them that if they do dump it, they should at least add the .ufo format to PaintShop Pro, which they also own. We don't have any definitive response on that as yet, however...

thanks for the quick reply..
yes, I wanted to create from the ground up...

any sites you know of that might have some more menus to share that are compatible with the videostudio program??

I use PSP so i'm hoping they will allow that change in the future..

can i still purchase the other program you mentioned??

I just want to have more menu designs than the few that come with the program..

you mentioned changing my photos videos on existing menus?? thru menu edit??

thanks so much.
