This guide presents step-by-step explanations on how to design video clips to be
authored as a DVD chapter menu. The menu consists of three small thumbnail video
clips which highlights the chapters. In this guide, Adobe Premiere 6.5 is used to
produce the desired effect in the final video clip. This technique will work with
any Premiere version. If you are unfamiliar with Adobe Premiere, this guide shows
you as a potential DVD author an attractive low-cost and uncompromising avenue to
author commercial grade DVD chapter menus with motion video background.
The sample video clips are provided in the MPEG-4 AVI format to deliver the video
file in size as small as possible without sacrificing video quality. Since Premiere
supports a wide range of video formats, the technique explains in this guide will
work with popular video format such as digital video DV in either NTSC or PAL
video standard.
Since this guide concentrates on the production of DVD motion chapter menu, the
seamless aspect of motion menu is not discussed. Because all sample video clips
in this guide have very short duration, they are not seamless. For more information
on how to produce seamless video clip, visit Guide to
produce video for seamless DVD motion menu.
The following video clip without audio demonstrates the technique explained
in this guide.
