Photoshop file to DVA naming conventions at DVinfo.net

Jim Montgomery · February 15th, 2006, 07:50 PM

Can anyone show me how to rename layers in a photoshop file so that they can be imported into DVD Architecture. I received my PopDrops Vol 1 & 2 and I really do not want to have to use Encore if I do not need to.

I have scoured the help files and manual, do as told and no luck.

As always much apppreciated

most dvd authoring applications will accept the standard photoshop .psd file for menu use... you are saying that each layer within the .psd has to be individually named?

I think to be able to work as a menu in Encore the layers have to be named something like (+) button 1, (%) video and so on. As far as I can tell DVD Architect needs different naming conventions, something like button-01-thumbnail, background-01....... At least thats what I can derive from the help. I just can't get it to work.
