Menu Fade In

Postby Mr. Ken » Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:59 am

Hi All:

I'm running PSP, latest, and have created a project with 7 shows.

At the end of each show, I set the last slide to "return to menu". But after the last slide fades out, the menu appears, it is a sudden "jump" onto the screen.

There does not seem to be a way to get the menu to fade in.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Nope. Not missing a thing.

The way around it is to use a DVD authoring program. What PSP/PSG has for its menuing is rather limited and unsophisticated. It's aimed at being practical right now. I don't expect that'll change anytime in the near future (that is, don't hold your breath). You need something that's dedicated to that feature.

Creating an output video recognized by your DVD authoring program will allow you to create a much more sophisticated menuing option than otherwise possible.

Hi:

Oh well, I guess I can live with it. Not very smooth though.

Thanks for your response.

I plan to use PC.EXE for this show. Menu 'jump' seems to be the only drawback.

It will give our moderator/narrator some easy flexibility as to showtime timing.

I am unfamiliar with this setting, "return to menu" on the last slide. I've never encountered a problem, my shows always just default back to the menu.

Would you please tell me where this function is on the slide options?

Thanks!

Slide options / Slide tab / slide settings tab / Action at end of Slide / {drop-down list}

Thank you! I've never seen that. The only thing I've used that tab for was to reset a slide to remove a style.
