Hi!
I'm creating a menu, and while all the videos are done, the subtitle highlight/buttons are not. And I'm having some problems with getting the result I want.
The button highlights are based on the ford logo, the oval shape, with ford written in white and the oval shape is blue. In the subtitle for this, the writing (ford) is red and the oval shape colour is black. When I import this into scenarist, tweak the highlight/button colour red to white and black to blue. When I do this, the text (ford) becomes partly transparent. Some of it is white, but some of it you can see the background (menu).
Anyone encountered this problem before, how can I solve it? Can the problem be that the font for the logo is small??

Do you think you can post a picture of your bitmap and show which part of it is having the problem? I can't exactly picture the situation.

Are you making sure your display mode is to Selection Color, so you can see what it should look like when selected? It sounds like one of your buttons has a wrong value. Play around with different values and press that little 'S' button (Software Simulation) at the top of the Navigation Simulator to see if its working properly. Then keep messing with the colors and maybe you'll find the problem.

I found that the problem was that I was using RGB setup in photshop when I created the subtitle for the menu. When rotating the layer, instead of keeping the red, it transformed some of it to darker red, hence, scenarist won't use that colour to translate, only the part that was real red.
