I found the answer…use Create Layers in Photoshop. So I just made a duplicate of my main menu so I can still make changes to the original if I have to. You would think Rasterize would have the same effect. Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe. I’m using layer styles gradients, not adjustment layer. I tried rasterizing as well…still imported into AE as a solid. This prevents me from doing cool movements with the buttons. In the past I’ve created the gradients in AE, but it’s time consuming and not exact to the original. Thoughts?

Thanks Joe, that worked. Time consuming…but it saved the day. Appreciate it.

Thanks Joe, I’ll give it a shot. It’s definitely a project issue, not a system issue. I’ll let you know.

I had a major problem with Huffy…crashed my project and wouldn’t let me render motion menus. I finally tech support and they said the cpu is maxing out because it’s trying to decompress the huffy’s and trying to compress the mpeg2’s. I used DV files and all worked fine.

I’m not sure I’m going to purchase it, but the designer of the system has the latest version. I do have QT pro. I’m still not sure they want the viewer to have to do anything. they just want the subtitles to be on the screen after they choose whether they want them or not. I’ll check it out though and see if I can just have them on using QT Pro. Appreciate your replies.

Thanks Aanarav, but these files are not being played from a dvd player. Actually using a program called Scala. The designer of the system just wants MPEG2 or WMV or QT files, one set without subtitles and one set with. This is for a museum for touch panel monitors. Is there a way to save files in Encore as just an MPEG2? I have to trust the system designer as he has done a lot of these installations, just goes against my normal workflow. This is why I thought I would just do it premiere and make track 2, the subtitles and then export as an MPEG2. Thoughts?

Does anyone know if I can do this in Encore and then rename the vob file as an MPEG and thereby take advantage of the subtitles feature in Encore? Didn’t want to double post or I’d ask in the Encore forum.

Then Open is what I’m referring to or simulated CC.

Norman, Thanks for the quick reply. Since this is going to be used in a touch panel kiosk, the guy who is designing the system thought it would be best to have two sets of videos, one with CC and one without. So the viewer presses the “video 1” button and then is asked if he wants CC or not and push the appropriate button to play the video.
Your workflow is PP is what I expected, but wasn’t sure about the guidelines for CC. Would I use black behind the text or just the text over the video and do they interfere with lower thirds. Thanks.
