Help with Motion Menus please...

[lukebest88]

How can I make a transition between menus like put in a 2 second clip when you change to the scene selection menu?

Or how can I make the buttons temporaily invisible, until I want them to appear? That would be anohter way to do it, but I think that would be more complicated, if not impossible...

Please help me out

Cheers

I use DVD-Lab, so this will be what my example is based on.

What you can do is have menu 1 then a small clip to play in between, then menu 2. You would connect the specific button on menu 1 to the clip, then connect the clip to menu 2.

As far as button visibility, you can control that in DVD-Lab too, there are 3 different color schemes depending on what you are doing, all with different levels of transparency. So, when you navigate to a button and it becomes the highlighted item, it will show, but when the focus is not on that button it goes away, that can be done. If you meant if you highlight one object then it should display some others, then I don't know if you can or how you would do that.

Let me know if you need something more specific.
