    Menus in Encore

    terry lee martin Community Member

      Hi, I'm using Premiere Pro CS4. I used the dynamic link to send some video to Encore. I was planning to practice making menus. When I get to Encore the first thing I notice is that my screen doesn't look exactly like the one in the Tutorial videos. In the videos, the display of the encore screen shows three colored circles in the upper left corner of the screen. RED, YELLOW, AND GREEN. I noticed the apple symbol at the top far left. I'm using a PC. Are those colored circles something that appears only on Mac's.

       

      Also, when I go over to the lower right corner and click in the area titled Library, The yellow line encircles that area, and when I clic General, which shows next to the word "Set", it opens a window with the word "General" and a check mark next to it. It does not open up any list of premade menus. It doesn't do anything. If I go over to styles, the same thing happens. Nothing. Obviously there is a step that I'm missing. Can anyone tell me what that step is?

          You should ask Encore questions over in the Encore forum.  There's some knowledgeable folks over there.

            I agree with Jim. In your specific case, I'd post to the Menus & Buttons sub-forum.

             

            Now, to your last question:

             

            when I go over to the lower right corner and click in the area titled Library, The yellow line encircles that area, and when I clic General, which shows next to the word "Set", it opens a window with the word "General" and a check mark next to it. It does not open up any list of premade menus. It doesn't do anything. If I go over to styles, the same thing happens. Nothing. Obviously there is a step that I'm missing.

             

            Sounds like the Functional Content did not install properly. Did you install from a download, or from a DVD? There is a pretty big difference between those methods. If from a download, please see this FAQ from Encore.

             

            As for the orange line around the Library Panel, that shows that it has focus.

             

            See ya' in the Encore forum,

              It looks like Jeff Bellune has been busy, and efficient. Your post is now in the right place.

               

              Maybe someone else can weigh in on those colored circles. I am not familiar with them, but maybe just never noticed something right under my nose.

               

              Good luck,
