Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess keyframing is the way. I just wanted to a bring a new element to the text and and pull the text in with this scratchy shaky pulsating sort of look to add to the grit of an event involving speed and mud haha. I’ll just have to keyframe and play around with film effects ect… to achieve the grit look.

I thought a shortcut to make the text a little jumpy would be to add the Old Film Effect and just bring up the Jitter but black bars bounce up and into the frame, is there a way to just make the text jitter instead of having a black parts of a frame jumping over the content?

Thanks Everyone. I did consider the making a large board with the photos and using pan crop on that but I wasn’t sure if it would work or hold the quality in the zoom, turns out it does work and with the proper keyframes a fine result should emerge. Thanks a lot!

I would like to keep these custom buttons to this size in this area, without making them any smaller. So I was hoping if it was possible to make these buttons fit properly together, because it seems limiting that you can’t have buttons in a certain way and at big distance so they don’t overlap.

They are customs button so I hoped for a method that means the Image itself is only counted, and the it doesn’t overlap just because a transparent part of the PNG box overlaps.

Mate there is a way to fit any Video size to a DVD.

I was making a DVD for a local Quad Rally, it ran for 2 and a half hours and was 30GB in AVI Form. It would not fit through normal DVD Architect means of course.

So I got DVD Shrink. Through DVD Arhcitect you have the option to burn and ISO Image, with DVD Shrink you take the ISO Image which has everything in your DVD Menu and it will fit that menu to fit either a 4.7GB DVD or an 8.5GB DVD, depending on your choice. 30GB’s go fit onto a 4.7GB with no loss of quality.

Give it a go, it saved my butt a lot.

I had trouble with .MOV files as well, I had a video camera for a few years before a lot of time spent researching a solution has now set me up to finally be able to make movies.

I had trouble viewing the files in Windows Media Player, it’s the only program I used to view them and I got sound and now video, and it would never import to Sony Vegas.

To be able to see the footage download K-Lite Codec Pack.

If that does not work get the Combined Community Codec Pack. I cannot remember for certain which one was the right one because one of them I had to uninstall, but the K-Lite Codec Pack should be the right one so go with it first. A Google search will allow you to find a place to download it, all free too.

When you have installed the codec you’ll want to convert your .MOV files. When I am making a project I set up a folder specifically for the project and within it i make a folder called “MOV & MOI”, I place all the raw footage in there from the camera.

Download a program called SDcopy_V1.9985Beta, when you download it and open it up for us set the source directory file as the MOD & MOI file, and then set the Target Directory as the folder you want the converted files to go to.

Select the clips you want to convert, either by manual selection or by selection All Files Found, hit start and the files will convert.

Go through and name them how you wish in their correct order because this program converts the files with big weird names that end with whatever you choose.

These files will be able to be viewed in Window’s Media Player and also be imported to Sony Vegas to be edited.

Hope I could help.

Problem Solved:

How: When the Menu is created in DVD Architect, with oversized files and all. Burn an ISO Image.

Download DVDShrink and use the program to create a version of the ISO image where it will fit to the selected Disc Size, in this case a 4.7GB Disc.

Using a burning program, my ISO image came up with the symbol for Roxio so I used that, to burn the ISO image to disc.

You now have your DVD with everything you intended on it, without major if any quality loss.

Worked for me!
