iDVD Addendum—Chapter 2

Using Motion

Menu items are designed to do more than

display a text title or static image. DVDs

typically convey video, so why not add some

motion to the menus as well?

iDVD uses two types of motion: motion

menus, which incorporate animated back-

grounds, and motion buttons, which play

movies or abbreviated photo slideshows in

place of a generic button icon or still image.

(Actually, there’s also a third type of motion,

audio, which is covered in the next chapter.)

Most of iDVD’s recent themes incorporate

motion because it brings life to menus and

makes them more than just pretty pictures.

In this section I cover motion buttons; see

“Changing the Background” in Chapter 3 for

details on using motion menus.

To activate motion:

u Click the Motion button, choose Motion

from the Advanced menu, or press

Com mand-J. The Motion button becomes

highlighted in blue (Figure 2.5), and any

animated elements within the theme,

such as the background, drop zone, or

submenu icons, start to play.

Perform any of the above actions to turn

motion off.

4 Tip

n Turn off Motion when you’re done editing

the motion properties of your menu to

improve performance while editing other

aspects of your project.

Figure 2.5 Click the Motion button to activate the

motion elements within the menu.

Using Motion

The Introductory Animation

Many themes include an introductory

animation before the menu elements

appear, indicated by a shaded section

of the Motion Playhead scrubber bar

(

Figure 2.6). When the total animation

ﬁnishes playing, it starts over where the

vertical bar bisects the scrubber bar. To

skip this ﬁrst animation, deselect the

checkbox to the left of the scrubber bar.

Some themes also have a concluding

animation, too.

Controls for these animations can also be

found on the Menu Info window, marked

Intro and Outro (Figure 2.7).

Figure 2.6 The ﬁrst section of the scrubber bar is

the introductory animation, and isn’t repeated.

Figure 2.7 The Menu Info inspector also contains

controls to enable the motion animations.
