The best video editor to do motion menus and buttons?

[Imeil Trion]

like the topik i need a video editor tool to create advanced motion menus nice loocking buttons and more,. Wich can you rekomend?

an advanced program but not to advanced, it should be understandeble!

Hard to say, there are a wide range out there:
1) cheaper software tends to give you canned menu structure and buttons - but very easy to use
2) more expensive software give you much more flexibility - and of source they are harder to use
Can't win all.

It's not a video editor, but DVD-Lab will do what you are looking for.

I like Sony Vegas for intros and motion menus, and Photoshop for buttons.

Just about any Video editing software that uses layers can work.

My favorite combo is Ulead Cool3D for animations, and Vegas. Vegas has unlimited video tracks, and multitrack surround sound editing/encoding.

For the buttons, I do them two ways. Either create a seperate layer in Vegas, draw the buttons, then export only that layer to a still.

Or export a still from the multilayer view in Vegas, load it into Paint Shop Pro, and draw my buttons there.
