EASTER EGG over VideoMenu-HOW???

[DigitalAides]

I have been racking my brain trying to figure this one out. Please help me if you can.
I have created an image in Photoshop that I want to be hidden until highlighted. The problem is that it is over a a video menu, so how do I make the button invisible until it is highlighted???
I could cut out a part of the menu, still it, and layer it over, but then that part of the video wont move. This is really killing me because it is the only thing holding me back from finishing this DVD. Please help me someone.
Thank You Very Much. I appreciate any help you guys can lend.

This is just something you set in your DVD authoring software. Unless you are using very limited authoring software, you should be able to set the opacity for 3 separate instances, 1) display when not highlighted, 2) highlighted, and 3) selected (when you click on that button.)

You'd simply set the display opacity to 0 and the highlight opacity to 100, or whatever you want. That button will be invisible until you highlight it. This works the same regardless of whether the menu is still or in motion.

Keep in mind though that as a subpicture, this overlayed image is going to be limited to 4 colors.

I am using DVD Studio Pro 3, I have tried that, I will try again because I didnt play around with that enough, but can you please get step by step specific? I know its tedious, and Im sorry I keep bugging you guys, but it would really be a huge help. Any chance you could actually try to do the same thing?

I absolutely cannot get this thing to work, Im begging someone, PLEASE, please help me figure this out.
All I want is a button over a video menu that only appears when highlighted, an easter egg. I really want this easter egg on here.
Please help.

Sorry I can't help you then because I've never used this software before. I've done this plenty of times in Scenarist.

Are you trying to put a large picture over video (motion menu) with no buttons, or where there are already buttons. I don't think you can overlap menu items. You may have to make it smaller. After that, you need to follow Adam's advice and look for the opactity settings for each of the menu item states. I use DVD Lab Pro and usually drop a couple of easter eggs into family/friends disks. I think it's time for you to RTFM.

DLP can do this, with the Group Hotspot option.
