How do I make my still images scrolling from South to North on left side of first menu. I would like to have scrolling on left menu and in middle menu page where the users can choose what menu they want to go. I want the still images scrolling look like film . So, 3 or pictures scrolling from south to north.
If this possible can this be done with movies istead of still images. Hopefully I explain my clear enough

you need software like, after effects and or ENcore. I take it your making a dvd menu. U cant do it in premiere.
 
OK,
I do have encore and after effects. I know this is not diffcult I just need howto. Yes I amtrying to make DVD menu.
Can you help?
 
Actually you can do this in Premiere Pro 2.0 since that version includes limited DVD authoring. I'm not sure how proficient you are with Premiere so these instructions are very broad. Feel free to ask if you need something clarified:

1. First step is to make a movie of your animation. Import the picture you want in Premiere and in the Motion menu keyframe the Scale and Position options to get the picture to scroll the way you want.
2. Export animation as a movie file.
3. Go to the Windows menu, select DVD Layout. Check Apply a Template for a DVD with Menu, then select any random predesigned menu. You'll replace it later.
4. Now go back out to your timeline and where the effects menu is you'll see a host of options to modify the menu you created. There's the background music, background, and a video background option.
5. Click on the video background option and select the animation that you created. Now just burn!

I don't have Premiere open in front of me right now so I might be wrong on what some of the buttons are called, but that's the general idea. See this tutorial for clarification:

Good luck!

First of all, how proficient are you with either of these programs, especially After Effect? My advice is to do it in Premiere.
 
just make the whole background of the menu a movie file, and make your images scrolling how you want them to in that movie file. since you can use AE it should be simple to make some images scroll, although PPRO could do it as well. then just precompose your composited motion into a short looping clip, and use it as a moving background template for your menu
 
I know it is me who doesn't explain it well
What I want to do is to make my clips scroling from south to the north on DVD Menu.
I can make my text scroling on PPRO but only horizontal and vertical but I don't know how to make it on graphics. I guess I can do it by using Motion menu but again what I want is to make the graphics scrolling not just one frame a time. I want the 5 different frames showing on one window and each frame has its movie going. It looks like a movie film tapes scrolling from south to north but each film shoing its own movies. Does this makes sense?
Thanks
 
You mean something similar to a film strip? It's the same principle, except you'll be working with 5 clips instead of one. Animate each clip and then put them all on top of each other in the timeline. Reduce the Scale of each clip so that they'll all fit into the screen at once and then simply moves them to where you want them to.
