I think the only way of doing it would be to have two main menus – identical except for the music. Encore only lets you set 1 music track per menu. If you do it this way when the user ‘sets’ the music, he/she is actually just being directed to the appropriate menu.

Hi Naama,
You may have to explain what you want to achieve in more detail before anyone can offer help. Do you have some keyed footage of a person and want to add a glow around them? Or do you want to add light spill?

Is it possible that you are looking at the premiere sequence composition nested into another comp? ALT+double-click on the layer in the timeline and see if it opens up into another composition with all the cuts.

Excuse me for piggy-backing on this thread, but Shawn: How would I specify PCM / Dolby in Encore? I assumed that whenever I transcoded, my WAV files were trancoded too. Have I missed something? Having read this I am wondering if I am unintentionally compromising on image quality.

Hi Steve,
Just an idea, but seeing as you’re using Encore why not create a slideshow from inside THAT programme from your original jpegs? Then you wouldn’t even need that huge video file. I think Encore supports slideshows of up to 99 images, though you can have more than one slideshow. And you can add a music track (and automatically space out the picture durations to last the length of the audio track), so it’s as good as making a movie!
This is assuming you’ve not added effects or complicated camera moves to your slideshow in AE, of course…

By ink blot, do you mean ink being dropped onto a piece of paper? If so, do you also mean that you have a video of some ink hitting paper and also a still image of a logo made up of an ink blot (but a different ink blot)? And that you want to cut the two together so that the video is followed by the logo?

Good job too. That would have been a hell of a patch for Encore…

I suppose it depends how quickly you can work in PS versus AE. I’m quite a bit quicker in AE, so I would probably do it all in there. However, doing it in PS would mean you didn’t have to create a huge comp for your full res image and stress AE out!

I have discovered that you can make the gradient overlay layer style rotate along with your text by adding the following expression to the Angle property of the style:
value+(transform.rotation*-1)
Now when you rotate the text layer, the gradient should rotate along with it.
