Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileDo you mean like in a web browser where a button/image will change when your mouse rolls over it?

Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileI could tell you how to do it with a Premiere Elements template!

Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileHi Chuck..yeah that's what I mean ...the DVD is to be used on a computer as well as a standalone DVD unit so it would be great if could make it happen like that - I know I can use highlight for button selection but wanted that extra added feature - am I asking for too much here?
Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileLike Steve says, he could tell you how to do it with a Premiere Elements menu, but you will have to hang in there until someone with DVD Architect knowledge comes by.
There are quite a few users here but I don't know if any of them have tried that or know if it will work or not. 1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.

Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileI just installed DVD Architect Studio 4.0 and noticed that when you preview a DVD menu in Sony DVD Architect Studio, the buttons don't roll over. That is when you hover the mouse over a button without holding the mousebutton down, there isn't a change in image. But when I burned the DVD menu to a disc and played it back in Windows Media Player, the buttons rolled over.
By the way, I didn't even have any video when I burned it, just a menu.
Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileYou'll have to excuse me. Now that I've played with it for a while, I can see that that's not the rollover you were thinking of creating. I'll keep trying.
Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileI came across this web page describing how to make a button look like it rolls over, in a different DVD Authoring app:

Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileThanks for giving this post the time of day guys ...I really appreciate your input...I am still subtitling the DVD which I am producing - it's 1hr 28 min - so there's still plenty of time for me to crack this - if I can't I'll just have to use normal buttons
Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileI just haven't seen anything so far that would indicate you can have a second image as the highlight for a DVD menu button. You can use a second image for creating a mask for the highlight so it would match the shape of the button.
Re: Creating a rollover using external graphic fileI do not know DVD Architect, so this might not apply, but in Encore, the "effect" of a Rollover can be created with duplicate Menus. The first has a Button that Auto-activates and takes you to the "dupe" Menu, where maybe a graphic has been added. It appears that the graphic has "popped up," when it is actually on an otherwise identical Menu. If one has many Buttons on Menu 1, they'd want a dupe Menu w/ graphics for all of those. Be careful of the 1GB limit for ALL Menus.
