How do "they" do ?!?

I wonder, the "pro's" that make dvd's for there work, how do they make menu's like in tomraider? What program's do they use for it. I use DVDMaestro myself, but i don't think i can manage such menu's inthere...

Maybe someone now's...

Thnx for all info!

Scenarist is widely used in the Industry. Apples DVD Studio is another pick and there is at least one more system whose name I've never heard. Maestro is also used to make professional DVDs. Of course, most of the work is done outside the authoring application when it comes to menus. You have to create Graphics (most people use Photoshop for that), create your background videos (Premiere comes to mind as a tool to edit such videos) and music before you get started with the authoring part.

Hi,

Thnx for the information! But you say that the "animated" menu's, like in tombraider or mummy etc can be done in scenarist? or is that a little movie, played after you press the button, and after that movie, you have the next menu?

yes.. i now... still learning :)

It looks great to me to get such cool menu's....

you can take this guide as a starting point (I'm afraid it's for Scenarist): http://www.doom9.org/mpg/scenarist.htm . It explains how I created my first animated menu back in the day.

private question... you do this all for you're "hobby" or is it also you're profession?

Great work!
