Can I change the highlight colour on DVD Menus?

[GrahamB]

Hi,
I am a newcomer to this forum and I have recently purchased Corels VideoStudio X5 Pro. Having succesfully created my own menus in Ulead Photo Impact 12 and imported into Video Studio X5 (and actually getting them working) I have been creating new frames to use in the menus, mainly so that I can change the colour to suit whatever background I use. I would like to be able to choose the colour of the highlight and also possibly how the frame is highlighted.At the moment the frame is highlighted by completely covering the scene within the frame with either a yellow or cream highlight. I would like to create a border within the frame and have this as the highlight.
I have tried doing this and naming the border as HLI but when imported into Video Studio X5 it does not highlight the border, but the whole scene as before. Is what I am asking possible?

Regards

Hello - not sure if this should be in VideoStudio or Photo Impact forum - possibly best here for now there can't be many people still using Photo Impact for DVD menus - lets see.

It's a long time since I played with changing DVD menus in Photo Impact but from memory can you not just change the highlight colour when editing in Photo Impact - not add another layer but change the colour of the existing one /

Hi,

Thank you for you prompt reply, I have tried everything that I can think of and have come to the conclution that it is not possible.

I will keep checking this post just incase anyone has other ideas to try.
