Hello,
I want to ask if anyone have an idea if when i create menu and since i already have play written on my background picture ,can i just have and empty box to put on the top of that word ,so in that case i dont have to erase the word from the background.This is because i am using original menu from a dvd and that have all the buttons(play,next...) so i want to use the same text just link it in Authoring Works.
Thanks
One solution is to position the button over the "play" text and then change the opacity of the button to 0, making it transparent. Just double-click the button to open the menu item editor and then click on the "Effects" tab, click on "Opacity" and enable it, then move the slider to 0.
It is very interesting option but when i possition the coursor to the play button usually the play button changes its color and in this case the TAW button comes visible.
The best thing would be to create an image in the shape you want your "play" highlight to be and then replace the play button with it.
Or,if your "play" text is in a font that you have on your computer, you can choose the "Text" button option in the custom menu wizard and then just type out whatever you want for your buttons in whatever font, style, and color you want.
Thanks tkrave,
The problem is the font because in most professional dvds the font is in a way that i can not find it.I am using 65 fonts none of them is the one.Also sometimes they draw the button so no font is available.
By the way there is a big miss in the Authoring Works.
It is about video filters.There is fade in and fade out audio filter,there is also fade out video transaction,BUT THE IS NO FADE IN VIDEO!!!And the problem is that this is the first video in the track so there is no way to use fadein/out from previous clip.How did they manage to miss this out?
Is there a solution?
Thanks
For your buttons, if you photoshop or some program that can create images with transparencies, you can create generic outlines or shapes. For instance, make a solid colored circle and use it a bullet point next to the "Play" text, or make a rectangle outline that goes around the "Play" text. Combined with the opacity effect, these will only appear when Play is the focus or selected. Just a suggestion.
For a fade-in for your first clip, there is a trick to it.
1.) Add a clip to your track by clicking on the "Source Wizard" button in the Source stage.
2.) Select the last option "From a color matte or a pattern".
3.) Choose the color you want to fade in from and adjust the duration to be at least as long as your fade-in transition time. So if your fade-in will be 2 seconds, your color clip should be at least 2 seconds.
4.) Once your color clip is in the clip list, drag it to the top of the list and add a crossfade transition to it. This will create a fade-in effect for your first clip.
Thanks,
For some reason i knew that you going to offer me the option with adding a clip.I have done that but the result is appalling.It is because the fade in is so slow even if i put 1 sec fade in and also the audio for some reason gets desync.
I'm a new user to TAW having used DVDLab successfully for many years. However, I need to ask some questions to which I can't find direct answers:
1 What is the recommended format for the clips to be input into TAW for output as a DVD? I've been encoding to separate streams in TMPGenc Express 4
2 What is the recommended format for the clips to be input into TAW for output as a Blu-ray disk?
3 Is it possible to insert my own chapters?
4 If these chapters occur at points of the programme which have fades to black, is it possible to select another point for the motion menus to start - as with DVD Lab?
5 Most of my DVDs are dual layer - are there any implications for this in TAW4?
1. For DVD output, your files should be MPEG-2 conforming to the DVD-Video standards. If you are using the DVD-Video output template in 4.0 XPress, you should be good.
2. For BD output, your files should also be MPEG-2 conforming to the BD standards. TAW4 can't output as H.264, so if your clips are MPEG-2 then that will save you some time.
3. Yes, you can set your own chapters in the clip editor. There is also a chaptering tool so you can automatically set chapters at set intervals or by equally dividing the clip into x number of chapters.
4. The animation for motion menus is customizable, so you can change the start and end points of the animation.
5. Dual layer is supported, but I believe you won't be able to make DL iso files. The disc writing tool is based on some old writing engine, so that *might* cause problems too, but in terms of just outputting the files to your hard drive, there should be no problem.
I'm a newbie with this program but I've read the Help file up and down and don't see how to do this (or if it's even possible). I'm trying to create a DVD for my in-laws using AW4. In the menu creation section, I would like to replace the English spelling of the "PLAY" button to its Spanish equivalent of "INICIO." I simply can't figure out how to do this, the object does not appear to be editable.
Lo primero que debes hacer es buscar en la red una imagen, en este caso que ponga inicio o comenzar (hay cientos de iconos que te pueden valer). Guárdala en tu pc.
Haz doble clic sobre el botón que quieras modificar. En la nueva ventana que te saldrá (Menu Item Editor), arriba a la derecha, dale a File Brownser y busca la imagen que descargaste antes...y listo, ya tendrás lo que necesitas.

Im the same newbie in the previous post. We have set up our own menue template to author the clients dvds, each time we open the menue template we find ourselves having to re-edit the button highlight colours in the menue screens. Even though we set them to a particular colour, they automatically switch baqck to the red and yellow defualts.
How do you save the default highlight colours in a way that they dont change back after closing the origional project?
Hmmm...it doesn't seem like it saves the highlight color. Even when I save a custom menu as a template, it doesn't retain the highlight colors I've set. I'll send them an email and request that these settings can be saved somehow.
Im a newbie on this. Please can someone kindly assit me by telling me how we output our final authored dvd to an .iso or disc image from Authorworks , as these need to go drectly to the duplicator for writing. (the duplicator only recognises iso files)?
After you output your files (you should have a Video_TS and Audio_TS folder), go to the disc writing tool. Use the "Select folder" button and choose the folder that contains the Video_TS and Audio_TS folder. Once selected, the option to create a disc image should be clickable. Click on that and you should be able to create an iso file.
Thank you very much for the prompt reply i is much appreciated, we will try it tommorow. Would there be any way to batch process the video and audio ts folders into iso files. (we convert peoples home movies to dvd therefor author 10 to 15 discs at a time using the batch authroing feature, however when it comes to iso creation will we need to do this one by one??
Unfortunately, I don't think you can batch process the saving as iso files. The batch tool is only for outputting saved projects as DVD/BD/DivX video data.
