DVD Menu Studio 1 1 AiR

Aimed at professional DVD makers and studios the DVD Menu Studio

complements the professional DVD authoring packages used in the creation process

Currently most of the professional DVD authoring software rely on

Adobe PhotoShop for the menu creation. Because of the different needs

for DVD menu this is not a straight-forward process

In fact each authoring software requires different approach and in order

to have the menu correctly formatted there are often many different steps

the designer must do

In some cases creating DVD menu in Adobe PhotoShop or other image editing

application is near a rocket science involving anamorphic resizing

hiding layers, adding palette layer, combining layers etc

DVD Menu Studio is designed as a complete vector, 2D, 3D and bitmap design

and editing package which makes creating any kinds of DVD menus possible in far less time

It automatically takes care about all the technical issues of the exported format

it does the necessary resizing, layer merge/separation, sub-picture color mapping

switching antialiasing, letterbox overlay, and optional script creation

hotspot assigning, auto-routing etc. It tremendously speed up the menu creation process

Here are some key features of "DVD Menu Studio":

Consistent approach - you always design the menu the same way and simply

export to different authoring applications without change

What you design is what you get on TV screen. You design in 4:3 or 16:9

and the export takes care of the correct formatting for NTSC/PAL

This solves the most common problem: Circle designed in DVD MS will become

a circle on TV screen, not an ellipse

Everything is always editable

Adding automatic button hotspots and auto-routing if the target application

supports it (such as Impression DVD-Pro, ReelDVD, Scenarist)

Embedded NTSC Safe Color process

Ability to directly test the menu before exporting

Exports Adobe PSD format 4,5,6,7

Powerful effects such as 3D light system you can hardly find anywhere else

Based on Real-DRAW PRO versatility in 2D, 3D, Bitmap and effect editing it

offers huge advantage to other editors

You can do all in it, Painting, Airbrushing, Vector/Bitmap editing

photorealistic drawing, semi-3D scenes etc

Makes a creating DVD menus actually enjoyable
