Today was the deadline to submit all of our DVD menu work. I still had to finish my DVD menu but I left that until last and I did all the paperwork for the first 3 hours, printed it all out and put it all in a folder in the right order. I looked at the production schedule on Chi Online to see what order all the work needs to be in. I am also printing out this blog as a hard copy, but I’m not just going to my blog and click print pages. I copied and pasted it all into Microsoft Word to make it all look neat and it would also be in order of date, the dates of the entries I made in my blog were backwards. As in September posts being at the bottom and December posts being at the top.
When I got on to a computer that had Encore, I got my external hard drive and started to check everything was ok and ready. But before I did that, I decided to add an image of a smiley face and said “under construction” so I could use it for buttons that would not link to anything. I remember learning about this last Wednesday because Harry said “this is what professionals like to do”. When I linked the image to the menu buttons I then redirected the page to the last page it was on. I also had a problem with rollover effects, only 1 button would have a rollover effect but none of the other buttons would, however, Simon assured me it was ok because I have showed that I have learned how to use rollover effects.
The big problem I had was my project in Adobe Encore became corrupt because a file got corrupt and I couldn’t delete it. I asked Simon for help but he said I would have to start a new project in Encore and add all the images, menus, videos, layouts etc. in again and link them all up. After doing this. I updated my contingency plan and added this issue, updated and printed my blog for the last time. Overall, I’ve enjoyed this assignment.
