Got a new one to add to my frustrations with the menu design piece of PD. I added an image to the menu I am creating and it has fade in/out enabled. If I uncheck it and save, or even save and entirely new menu, it stays enabled.

Here's a thought that just worked for me.

I clicked on the image and went to the PIP Designer.

I turned on the "fade-out" and the image did indeed fade out. But "fade-out" does its work by setting opacity keyframes.

So I went to the opacity keyframe properties under the image and right clicked on one of the two keyframes near the end of the timeline.

Then I used the "remove all keyframes" option.

The "fade-out" box was still checked, but the image no longer faded out.

Hope this helps.

The OP added an image to a menu. I find that when an image is placed say in the root menu page of Menu Designer then fades are the default. Simply click on the image and 6 options appears in the upper left. Uncheck the box for Fades and then it will not fade when the root menu music cycle again.

JimIowa – I did not try what you wrote yet. I am not sure that I can open PiP designer from clicking an image placed in Menu designer. I will try it when I get home later.

Oops. I missed the fact that he was in the menu designer. I thought it was just an image on a track.

As I mentioned unselecting the fade options and saving the menu did not resolve the issue. When I would go back in fade would still be checked. It turned out to be an issue with the object itself. I had to delete that object and readd it to be able to disable the fade.

Eventually I just got fed up with not being able to center align a text box (not the text in the box) and having to realign everything if I had to reapply the template. Instead I created the menu in TMPGEnc and burned the project there.
