Now you can continue to specify the DVD menu
layout as described in Chapter 3 of this manual
(frame color, title, etc.)
5. Practice Excercises for
Specifying the Background Menu
Using Supplementary Software
“DVD-Arabesk 2” offers you the possibility
of creating the DVD background menu with
other Casablanca programs. You can use all
the supplementary programs available for
Casablanca
Each of the following examples is an extension
of increased complexity over the previous
example. We therefore recommend that you
work through the examples in the order given.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the
basic operation of Casablanca, e.g. using the
text-entry menu, creating a scene, setting
effect duration, etc., and the operation of the
supplementary programs.
For these practice examples it is not necessary
to actually burn a DVD. The virtual DVD you
have created is on the hard disk and can be
played with the built-in player.
5.1 Animated DVD title text
In this example you will learn to create an
animated heading for the DVD menu without
having to use a supplementary program.
Create a xed image or a moving scene with a
nice motif from your video material representing
the contents of the lms on the DVD. This scene
should be 15 seconds long.
Alternatively, you can use a 15-second pattern
scene from the image pool.
Insert this scene into the storyboard and go to
the menu “Titling”.
Select “Horizontal Scroller”, insert this effect
into the storyboard and set the effect length to
15 seconds (function “complete scene”).
Then click on “Enter/edit text” to enter the text-
entry menu and delete the existing text panel.
For your DVD menu enter a heading
representing the lms on the DVD, e.g. “Trip to
Malta 2003” and specify the font (e.g. Manuel)
and the font size (80 in our example).
Position the new text panel to an appropriate
position with the help of the function “Move
box”. It should neither cover up video material
of the background picture nor be at a spot where
the stamp icons will later be placed.
