Motion menu for DVD Maestro

[xxBladExx]

Hi there,

I was wondering guys...... Is there somewhere a tool which can make Motion Menu (main menu) for DVD Maestro. Normally I use DVD Menu Studio. But this tool can't make motion menu's.

thx

You need either Adobe After Effects or Vegas Video for motion menus

Is there any way to make motion videos with any other applications?

Motion menus are nothing more than regular MPEG files with a subpicture to define the buttons. So you just generate a m2v file as normal. You can do this with several programs: VDub, Permerie, Vegas Video, Ulead, Cool3D, etc. etc.

Once you have the video take a screen capture of it (you can do this from within Maestro) load it up in DVD Menu studio and then generate the subpictures are normal.

You can also create motion menus with AViSynth, which is available for free. Someone posted a guide to making motion menus with AviSynth a while back. Do a forum search and you'll find it.
