In my DVD menu, I inserted an image that I want to appear in the background. When previewing the menu, the image appears fine; however, I noticed that the image fades-in rather than appears right away like the other objects in the menu. I have been unsuccessful in trying to change this.

There is a setting in the Menu Designer dialog called, "Fade-in object during menu opening"; however, I have this disabled; i.e., unchecked, so I would not expect the object to fade-in.

Any ideas?

It took me awhile, but I finally figured it out -- no thanks to online help!

In Menu Designer, when you click on an object, a slider control appears. The slider control is color coded orange and blue. As you move the slider button left to right, the object fades in, appears fully, then fades out. Where the color is orange is where the object fades in or fades out. Where the color is blue is where the object appears fully. When you hover over the control where orange and blue meet, the cursor changes to indicate that you can move the colors.

So, the trick is to make the color blue span the entire length of the control. First, drag the left side of the blue color all the way to the left. Second, drag the right side of the blue color all the way to the right. Now the control should be totally blue.

To test, drag the slider button the length of the control and verify that the object does not fade in or out. Save the template and apply it to your pages.

Sarcasm? The thread is from 2011 !

Do you have an issue with PD 10 that you want to discuss. Did this thread solve your problem?

No Sarcasm, I was trying to burn a project and did a search and this was the first thread I came upon. I knew it was an old post, but it was very useful for me at the moment I needed it.

I try to be courteous and thank people at all times. For all I know the original poster may still be an active member here, I did not search to find out. Easy enough to do but is not necessary.
