DVD Studio Pro question

[blando3]

What's the best way to create a background for a menu in DVD Studio Pro - in Photoshop, then importing or in DVD Studio Pro?

I want a split screen of an image on the left and a color background on the right...is the best thing to do to create it in Photoshop and then import it?

Thanks,
Andrew

You mean a still menu? I use Photoshop. Just make sure you understand your resolutions and your 16:9 vs. 4:3. (which is in the manual btw.)

PhotoShop is a great place to start. But if you want to add any compositing to it (video clips, moving text, etc.) I'd take the PS-generated background and pull it into Motion.
