If you are refering to the 28th thread of this post about Movie night menu 2, I already stated that I never downloaded it. Try this:
1. Select a different frame and mask available in PD13 menu editor.
2. Select a different highlight available in PD13 menu editor.
3. Save the menu under a slightly different name so you know the original.
The above is for the thumbnail fix only. There may be other things that may need to be changed. Tony said "- poor button layout - chapter page didn't preview correctly ". Check that.
On the 21st thread about Book 578 that I did download it, Try this:
1. Remove the frame and mask around the thumbnail and then select a thumbnail highlight. The square thumbnail preview should work properly. Save it. If it don't work, then the do the same steps 1-3 for Movie night menu 2 above. It works okay in my preview.
As far as animation in the root menu above, I think it is okay. These work in the preview and I don't think you need to change it. Look at this post, 5th thread down:
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/42176.page for the wmv. That was created with animation using an earlier version of PD, maybe 11. I doubt it will work in PD13 without changes. I create or modify menus for my own use. Never tried to upload them to the DZ.
Why you can't upload your PD13 created menu that contains animation, I don't know. I uploaded Test Bit with video okay. There must be an flawed algorithm to detect video or animation on the DZ and reject it. Some get through and some don't.
Let us know if this helps or if you can get one of the menu working.
