am still no better off sorry 🙂 the part where you export/save out of AE and import/open files in encore is not covered.

Sorry, I got the idea you knew how to work AE. Anyway, you have to “render” in AE which means, you select your compositions in the project window and go to composition – make movie.

Then you render out an AVI(I use uncompressed).
Then you import the AVI into Encore and go from there.
See if that works.

are the buttons part of the avi or do you have to export them as separate elements?

I’m going to assume you have some version of Photoshop. Then my approach is to use PS to make a menu with the buttons and then use AE to make the motion menu. I never used AE itself for making buttons, so I can’t help there.

Things like rendering out of AE and importing into Encore are better explained in the Help files.

Here is another screen capture which is kind of long, which explains the whole process I’ve used for what it’s worth https://jmrser.com/Tutorials.html (look for Simple Motion Menu ) in the list.
