Set menu display time and looping
The Properties panel contains several options that control the display time and looping of a menu. The options you
choose depend upon whether you created a still or motion menu, or in other words, whether or not video, audio, or
thumbnail buttons play while the menu displays.
1 In the Project panel, select the desired motion menu.
2 In the Properties panel, click the Motion tab, and then do one or more of the following:
To set the menu display time to a fixed amount, enter a value for Duration.
To have the menu loop a set number of times, select or type a value for Loop #.
To have a menu loop until the viewer activates a button, select Forever from the Loop # menu.
To disable the menu buttons for a set amount of time, type a timecode value for Loop Point.
3 If you set the menu to display for a set amount of time or to loop a limited number of times, click the Basic tab
and specify a destination for End Action so that it has a destination once it times out.
Menu templates
About menu templates
The Library panel can include either standard menus or menu templates. A menu is a Photoshop (PSD) file that
includes a background and buttons. A menu template is an EM file that includes a Photoshop file and additional
information, such as the menu name and description, duration and loop settings, and references to background
audio and video clips.
You can add menus and menu templates to the Library panel for easy reuse.
For video tutorials about using Photoshop and After Effects to create and animate menu assets, see
www.adobe.com/go/vid0241 and www.adobe.com/go/vid0258.
Create menu templates
Custom menu templates provide an easy way to create menus that you can use over and over again in your Encore
projects. Menu templates are particularly useful for creating motion menus because any assets, such as video and
audio files, used to create the menu are saved as references within the menu template file. When you open a menu
template in Encore, any referenced assets are also loaded into your project. Regular menus have a .psd file-name
extension, while menu templates have an .em file-name extension.
1 Open an existing menu, or use Photoshop to create a menu, and then import the Photoshop file as a menu.
2 Include any video or audio in the menu background that you want to use in the menu template.
3 Choose Menu > Save Menu As Template.
4 To make it easy to transfer the menu template to a different computer, select Self-Contained. (See “Using menu
templates on multiple computers” on page 93.)
5 Specify the file name and location of the menu template, and then click Save.
When you save a menu as a template, two files are created: the template (EM) file and a Photoshop (PSD) file that
contains the menu layer information. In addition, video and audio assets are created if the menu includes a motion
background. The menu template (EM) file automatically appears in the Library panel the next time you start Encore.
