What is the best way to get the video the identical shape and size of the button in AE?

Thanks so much for your help.

Thank you so much for explaining that…

So now i have to import the video into AE and resize to the button and give it the same motion path… is that correct?

Thanks again for your help.

Now the there is no video in the button thumbnail. The subpicture still works, but the animated buttons don’t.

Any more ideas?

I’m animating the buttons in AE. I guess what i don’t understand is how the animated buttons, which are a part of the AVI become video thumnails once inside Encore when they are linked to the menu.

Also when i import the psd file into Encore, eventhough only the button set is visible in photoshop, the thumbnail layer (%) is visible in Encore. So when i preview the menu after rendering, these layers are already on screen… the buttons from the avi then move into place behind the these layers.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your reply, but I don ‘t quite follow.

What i’ve done is animate the psd in AE, then exported it as an avi.
Then i import the psd file into encore but with only the button sets visible in photoshop (not the layers) Then i link the avi to the psd menu.

Is this correct?

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your reply, i’ve tried this but it still doesn’t work. Any other suggestions?

Make 2 timelines, one with the video and the english audio and then a second with the video and spanish audio.

Then set them as separate chapters in the menu.
