    hey
    I’m new to this thing, though its not too complicated, I cant succeed in it.I have a swf file on which I’d like to add buttons, so it would function as a dvd menu.I add buttons on it, but I dont know how to continue when adding it to Encore.I find some features which are almost the same as in Premiere Pro(adjust position-opacity-…)however I can t adjust them, just add the keyframes, but no effect control pad…anyway, somebody could write me the way I should export the photoshop file and the quicktime file and the way to use them in Encore!

    A good way to start with Encore menus is to find the menu templates folder in Encore’s application folder, they are PSD files.
    Open one in Photoshop so you can see how the PSD file needs to be structured to create usable buttons.

    As far as a quicktime file. Maybe try to export it as an uncompressed MOV or AVI. You could possibly use it as a background movie, in the menu.

    There’s a particular way to name your Button’s layers in Photoshop to get them to behave correctly in Encore. Check here:
