This layer usually consists of text which is displayed at all times, even when your buttons are not highlighted. This layer contains the image for the button that will be embedded into the background of your menu. Below this layer is the 'Shape' layer, the one which we will be modifying. The color(s) of this graphic is selected in DVDSP. This contains the graphic which is displayed when the button is highlighted and selected. The second layer is the 'Highlight' layer. The top layer is the 'Icon' layer, which is only used as a visual representation of your button in DVDSP (the image that is displayed in the custom shapes Palette). In this demonstration, I will be using '01_SD_Scene_Right_unrasterized.psd' from the Butterfly Bliss Pro Motion Menu Kit, however this tutorial can be used with any menu. When you open the unrasterized button shape in Photoshop, you will see how Custom Shapes are structured. If none of the files are unrasterized, you may skip to page 2 of this tutorial. If you see any files in that directory which have 'unrasterized' in the filename, then those files will have to be modified before being brought into DVDSP. To verify your menu requires this extra step, navigate to the 'DVDSP_Button_Shapes' directory, then open the directory that corresponds to the format of DVD you are creating (either HD, SD, or PAL). However, if you decided to customize the colors of your menu, there may be an extra step you will need to do in Photoshop before you import them into DVDSP. If you are using the default colors of the menu, you are ready to open up DVDSP and proceed to the next step. Included with your Pro Motion Menu Kit is a directory named 'DVDSP_Button_Shapes' which includes custom buttons for DVD Studio Pro, designed specifically for your menu.
