I want to be able to have a video that plays in a box on my menu while at the same time be able to select stuff from my menu. How do I do that, or at least how do I find it?

The link doesn’t work

[Chris]

I’m an idiot. nm, I think I’ll be able to get it work. I’ll let you know if I can’t

[Chris]

Is there a place I can download that file he has instead of making it… I’m pressed for time, its the only reason I ask.

[David Garrett]

sorry about the broken link.. try this one https://asvideoproductions.com/doogs/tut%2012%20(intermediate)%20wayne’s%20tv%20preview%20button.ZIP

https://www.sitesled.com/members/doogs/downloads.htm look for Tut#12 in the intermediate section….as the last link i posted wouldnt work either..

I downloaded the video, but as I’m kind of a noob, there is a part of the tutorial where he says “Since you know how to do these already (hes refering to making the links, highlights etc.) then I won’t go over them” but I don’t know how to do those, so I need help with that as well. Thanks again for your help thus far.

Sorry Chris, I just assumed that you knew how to create all the buttons and sub picture highlights in Photoshop.
If you check out Tut#3 in the “basic section” of my tutorials, then this should give you more information.
Please bear in mind that this preview window will only show and loop the video that you drop into it,you could have different videos showing when different buttons are highlighted, but this would be a great deal more complex and would involve numerous menus with the auto activate feature of Encore.

And the reason why i dropped the 30 sec audio clip onto the menu was to get around the default 15 second loop that Encore was programmed for..

hope this helps.. and have fun..

Ok, thanks for the info, I’ll see what I can do once I get cracking on this. After I Figure out that, the last thing I plan on doing is making the words in my menu highliht, like the actual letters. I did it before, but it made them highlight white no matter what I did in the layer properities, so I’ll have to mess with that as well.

I can’t get to that section of your site. I had been really busy and wasn’t able to finish that DVD, and I can’t find your basic tutorial that you told me to use to get what I needed to know.

Anyways, please let me know whats up

thanks
