Use the context-sensitive Drop Palettes to make otherwise tedious connections in one
step, dramatically reducing the work required to make a DVD. Automatically assign
functionality in one gesture – for example, make a new track and link it to a button or
create slideshows and submenus by dragging one or a group of photos over a menu.
You can even create movie scene indexes based on chapter markers in one step.
◆
Simulator lets you test most aspects of a project by playing the proj-
ect before it’s built. Also lets you test most connections, including
First Play, and provides the functions of a DVD player remote con-
trol.
◆
Full access to a powerful scripting language. Add sophisticated inter-
activity and control with scripts assigned to buttons or attached to
the start or end of any track, story, menu or marker. The Simulator
also provides a complete display of the contents of the SPRMs and
GPRMs, letting you verify the script behaviors you created.
◆
When you assign a video clip as a menu background, you can choose
to loop to a frame different from the starting frame. Audio assigned
to the menu automatically follows the video as it loops.
◆
Advanced overlay graphics let you choose up to four colors or shades
of gray so that multiple highlight colors appear when buttons are
selected or activated. You can configure a menu to support up to 16
different languages. In addition to importing movie files, DVD
Studio Pro 2 maintains original chapter markers from Final Cut Pro
and iMovie and imports iDVD 3 projects.
Want more control? Just switch to the Extended configuration and you can work
with a timeline-based Track Editor that provides a linear view of a track and its
video, audio and subtitle streams. Organize your assets in the Asset Manager and
view their properties at a glance. As you select different elements in your project,
you can use the Properties inspector to change attributes to really make your
DVD stand out from the rest. Import content, automatically transcode
QuickTime files, encode to MPEG-2 and Dolby audio, design menus, assemble
tracks and polish your project using the intuitive workflow of DVD Studio Pro 2.
◆
The timeline can assemble nine video angles, eight audio tracks and
32 subtitles into a single track. It adds trimming and merging options
and lets you place, modify and delete chapter markers. Convert
slideshows into a track, to add subtitles and audio tracks.
◆
Just as you assemble video assets in the Track Editor, you can assem-
ble still images in slideshows, with fixed or user-controlled duration,
with or without audio. Combine slideshows with video tracks on a
DVD to provide extra information about the subject, such as histori-
cal information, newspaper articles and cast biographies. You can also
create presentations with high-quality audio, and even put photo
albums and scrapbooks on DVDs. Slideshows uses images in TIFF,
JPEG, BMP, PICT and any other QuickTime-based image format.
◆
Connections tab determines how the viewer moves from one element
to another. You make links so the viewer jumps from a starting point,
or source, to a destination, or target. The Connections tab allows for
quick drag and drop changes or keyboard commands for power users.
◆
Stories allow you to play back content in a different sequence, just as
you might build a playlist in iTunes. Stories let you create a version of
a track that skips some objectionable content, or you may use a short
piece of a track as a preview. A story does not increase the amount of
disc space the track requires, since it simply plays track markers in a
different order. Choose which markers to include and in what order.
You can even choose to play a marker’s video more than once. Create
up to 98 stories to play back track segments in the order you choose.
The Advanced configuration is organized into four quadrants, each of which has
one or more tabs that contain the primary controls of the interface. You can select
a tab to make it active, move the tab to a different quadrant or tear off a tab to
make it available in its own window. Drag and drop tabs include Track, Preview,
Connections, Assets, Media, Outline, Log, Slideshow, Story and Scripts. You can
adjust each quadrant’s size by dragging its borders or adjust the size of all four
quadrants at once by dragging the point where they intersect. You can close a
quadrant by dragging its inside edge to the DVD Studio Pro interface edge.
Whether you have a large computer display and are able to spread out, or a
small display that limits your visible workspace, you can tailor DVD Studio Pro
to suit your workstyle. Working on more than one computer? You can save your
configurations and switch them with keyboard commands.
