DVD Studio Pro 4 or Beginning Linux Programming

DVD Studio Pro 4: Authoring Professional DVDs in Final Cut Studio 2 [Apple Pro Training Series]

Author: Martin Sitter

Learn to author professional, interactive DVDs with this best-selling guide by Martin Sitter and Bruce Nazarian. Completely revised, this Apple-certified book uses brand-new project files to build three complete DVDs, including the DVD for the Oscar-nominated Born into Brothels documentary. Each chapter presents a complete lesson in an aspect of DVD creation and finishing, with hands-on projects for you to complete as you go. After learning how to storyboard your DVD and plan its interactions, you’ll set chapter markers, build still and motion menus, and add subtitles. You’ll also learn to work with multiple audio tracks and camera angles, create smart buttons and custom transitions, encode audio and video files, and create useful scripts. Fully updated to take advantage of the software’s new transition styles and HD-to-MPEG-2 encoding, the book includes a companion DVD with media and project files.
