Today, the highly sophisticated yet easy-to-use DVD Studio Pro 3 allows independent filmmakers, video producers, trainers, event videographers, and enthusiasts to create professional-grade DVDs on the Macintosh platform. You should now have three separate layers for each of your buttons.Apple's DVD Studio Pro, released in 2001, provided a low-cost, professional solution for home and small business DVD authoring. Be sure to rasterize all effects and merge them with their layers. Repeat this process for the text buttons, but use the Normal Blending mode for the fill so the black text will also fill. You can even add an outer-glow effect in the same color if you want the button to appear to flash when activated on screen (B). We called this layer РІР‚СљPlay Movie-ActivatedРІР‚Сњ and used a different color fill. As the Blending mode, select Multiply so the buttonРІР‚в„ўs text will show through. Go to Edit: Fill, and choose Foreground Color from the Contents pop-up menu (A).

To create a selected state for the Play Movie button, we duplicated the layer and called it РІР‚СљPlay Movie-Selected.РІР‚Сњ (This naming convention helps when you load the file into DVD Studio Pro.)Р”Р‡irst, youРІР‚в„ўll set your foreground color. To differentiate the selected and activated states, add color casts. In step 2, you created your buttonsРІР‚в„ў normal states. You can emphasize each state with different visual effects that exist as individual layers in the Photoshop file.

In DVD Studio Pro, menu buttons have three states: normal, which is the default display selected, when the remote control passes over the button and activated, when the user has chosen the button. With the Text tool, we created chapter titles (D) and made the text stand out from the background (Layer: Layer Style: Outer Glow). Use the Text tool to create a title, size it, and position it over the button. So viewers will know the buttonРІР‚в„ўs purpose, you need to identify it. To imitate this look in the 2-D world of a DVD menu, give your button a raised appearance (C) by applying the Bevel And Emboss effect. In the real world, buttons are usually raised from a surface. (NTSC is a video standard used in the United States.) Although buttons can be any shape, for this example, we selected the Rounded Rectangle tool and drew our button. Make horizontal lines at least 2 pixels thick (B), or theyРІР‚в„ўll flicker.Р”Р‡or the first button, set the foreground color, making sure to avoid overly saturated colors, which can cause problems on NTSC displays.

You may want to add a drop shadow (Layer: Layer Style: Drop Shadow). Overly thin fonts tend to flicker when displayed on a TV, so make sure your type has enough heft. With the Text tool, create and place the DVD title (A).
