Hi Nirbhayn!
It depends on what kind of motion you want to make. The menupictures with the thumbnails can be done in almost any paintprogram. Photoshop, PSP or some other paintprogram. This is how I make my menu with motion thumbnails.

1. Create 6 menupictures, with different thumbnails on each pictures, but the thumbnails in the 6 pictures is placed at the same place in the picture. That way only the pictures in the thumbnails will be changed.

2. Make a small movie with my menupictures using Slide Show Movie Maker and add some background music.

3. Since Slide Show Movie Maker will create a AVI-file, I then encode it to MPG using TMPGEnc.

4. Done, I now have a menu with transitions and music.

Maybe there's a better way of doing this, but it works for me.
