Apple Pro Training Series:DVD Studio Pro 4 from Peachpit Press

There’s no better way to learn to author professional, interactive DVDs than this self-paced, Apple-certified guide to DVD Studio Pro 4. This revision of the best-selling first edition is fully updated to take advantage of the software’s new transition styles, superb HD-to-MPEG-2 encoding, and brand-new graphical view.

Q. How can I learn DVD Studio Pro 4 fast?

A. Jump right into a few of the tutorials included with this book.

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 and Web links.

Q. Will this book show me how to make motion menus?

A. Yes! Not only that, it will show you how to create chapter markers and how to build the buttons to link to them with custom transitions.

You’ll also learn techniques for juggling multiple audio tracks and camera angles, creating smart buttons, and scripting. Finally, you’ll encode professional-quality audio and video and build, format, and burn the DVD.

By the end of the book, you’ll have created four full DVDs, each geared to a different audience and using different navigation schemes and effects.
