How to make a "montage" and play a song over it instead of the au

[janeydoll]

I want to make a "montage" of scenes of a tv series I'm burning, but i need to know how to do that, I just want to be able to have a transition between them like fading into eachother, ect. I also want a song to play over it, and if it can be done, have audio from the show sometimes too, but if not then that's fine.

I am going to get dvdlab pro and I have the nero that came with my computer, plus power dvd.

by the way, what does clips mean in the dvdlab? what is it for?

thank you

transitions,fadings and such are editing so you need an editing tool, like premiere elements, vegas movie studio, ulead videostudio.

is there any freeware?

is there any freeware?

MVW is free for 30 days.

(Real) freeware: Avisynth (but it is not a 'trivial' piece of software...)

If I got the Ulead® MediaStudio 6.5 Director's Cut would it be able to use the format video_ts that the dvdlab can use.

I don't want to have to convert it like you do for windows movie maker.

as long as you can save your work as dvd spec mpeg (or vobs) which is what dvdlab needs as input it'll work.

I have the unlead video studio trial and i want to know what format do i save my clips to be able to see them in my dvdlab. how do i make it a vob?

[janeydoll]

what format do I save my clips in the unlead videostudio to be able to make them seen in dvdlab, like in vob format? please help me

[GilbyGood]

Save them in the MPEG2 format.

[janeydoll]

When i save it there is no audio when i put it into my dvdlab, what do i do, there was audio when I was making it in the unlead video studio.

I have one more question,

I converted a movie that I recorded on my dvd recorder and I used dvd shrink to put it on my computer, when I go into dvdlab my movie is in 5 vts files and they are only 30 minutes, how do i get them into 1 long movie file instead of only 30 minutes?
Or if that is the way to do it, then how do I get all 5 files to play like a normal movie would play, all together?

thanks

How do i get my movie to be one file instead of 5 30 min chunks? i do not have chapters in my movie either.

Read the "Assets window" chapter in the help file of dvdlab and it will tell you everything you need to know to do what you want to do.
