I have to assume a few things by looking at the screenshot, an inventory of it reveals...
1. A blue background, with an effect applied to make it darker toward the upper right.
2. A rather poorly done "effect" on the background, below the picture, you can see the square outline.
3. White text on the background with applied shadow effect. Text directs viewer to operate a remote control to access different parts of DVD.
4. "picture in a picture" video of those two fellas talkin, with shadow effect.
5. A black scrolling text box with a shadow effect.
6. A white text box with blue text bullets and layered over the picture.
My assumptions:
1. That picture is a moving video.
2. The white text on the left remains stationary on the background.
3. The big white text box appears at some point after the beginning, and that either the entire text box or just the text will change as the video plays.
Basically this can be created using a program like Adobe Premiere Pro for the scrolling text and the embedded or "composited" video and white text box(es).
The background with effects as well as the white text boxes can be created in Mediachance Real Draw Pro or some other graphics program.
Even though no on-screen buttons are referenced, I would imagine that using DVD-Lab to assign remote functions would be possible, so that is where the final assembly of your project would take place.
I think you could probably do better than this particular screen shot indicates... I find it rather cluttered and annoying. I don't care to have a scrolling text box, another text box below that, with more text on the left, then those two guys talking, as I'm assuming there is an audio track.
All you need now is some lightning bolts and stuff. (Premiere can make lightning too.)Just kidding.
I also see a bit of bleeding from the video onto the white text box. It should have been positioned a few pixels lower. That would also move it away from the scrolling text box shadow a bit.
The programs I would recommend are:
Mediachance Real Draw Pro 3 for graphics and backgrounds with effects.
Adobe Premiere Pro for capture, editing and compositing, creating scrolling text.
DVD Lab to assemble the various sections of the video so they can be accessed by a remote control or on-screen buttons.
There are lots of programs you can use, these happen to be the ones I'm using at the moment. All of this does take a bit of practice and familiarity with the programs. I do this for fun so I have no deadlines to meet with my projects. Practice makes perfect when it comes to editing so don't expect your first attempt to be perfect. Mastering one of these programs is difficult enough.
I usually break things down into simple steps...
Create and gather assets, i.e. your graphics, still pictures, audio and video need to be in a format acceptable to your editing program.
Edit and assemble your project assets. Trim your video clips, set the location and duration of still pictures on your project timeline, apply transition effects, text effects, audio, etc.
Author your project. This is where you create a menu or menus, add, assemble all the parts of your project and then convert the thing into DVD-Video compliant files, ready for burning.
Good Luck,
Frank
