Thanks for the tutorial. by bTo 08/19/2009 Just giving you two thumbs up for your work. Simply impressive! by baller005 08/13/2009 Thanks YOUR THE MAN! by Keith 08/11/2009 Error: When i try to export to MPEG2-DVD, an error says: "Could not load any writer. Adobe Media Encoder will now exit."..and then it says: "After Effects error: Writer Initialization Error!".. I dunno what's wrong. pls. help! by W3r3W0lF 08/11/2009 Do you need AE cs4? or you can do it just with cs3? by Kyle 08/06/2009 I was just thinking that instead of highlights for the buttons since it can look messy (I understand it's for tutorial purposes) you could get the text tool and use the same font as the button and kind of do a highlight with that with bigger font slightly. Although if you did it this way it wouldn't be a drag and drop sort of thing, you would have to create a button for each selection you have. Other than that, this tutorial was the most helpful tutorial I have ever watched in my entire life. I've always wanted to do this kind of stuff. by mcv 08/05/2009 Thanks a ton Andrew, you do amazing work and you're a good teacher. by Lnkprk04 08/04/2009 Great job! Way to show me Encore, I have it and now I know how to use it. I usually was just using DVD Studio, but couldn't make 16x9 dvd menu's, but now I can, thanks. by LMW1 07/30/2009 Great tutorial! Only problem is when I went to view it on my TV (actually on 2 televisions) it looked a little distorted and fuzzy. Wonder why? by Jakob 07/29/2009 Again: A great Tutorial! I just want to ad: For those of you who have Dynamic Link (it only comes with the bundles), you don´t have to render the aae project! You easily can add it in Encore (or open a new one there). And: You can add buttons directly in aae!!! Chears, All the best! Greetings from Vienna! Jakob by Michael 07/22/2009 Ha ha, way to go Sam!! It's good to see him kicking butt! Thanks for the tutorial Andrew, =) by hazem 07/22/2009 i think its rude andrew kramer doesnt reply to all of us.....lol....jk by Jeshua 07/21/2009 Kramer you are a legend.

Can you start making tutorials with Adobe After Effects CS4??? Because i only have CS4 version, and any projects of 3d text you have in your tutorias doesn't work correct with my aee cs4. Thanks! And very nice tutorials! by Ro[N]eN 07/05/2009 thnks! by abclcreative 07/05/2009 great work cramer, i m so thankful 2 u becz i m learning so much things from u God Bless u. Ur way of presentation is great by MAICO WOOKON 07/05/2009 SO GOOD THX by Barry 07/03/2009 Hey Andrew. Great tutorial. One question though... What exactly is the point of starting out with NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel, if you're only going to convert it into NTSC DV Widescreen? Why not just start out in NTSC DV Widescreen and save any troubles you could run into? I'm asking this because I personally don't know much about conversions of aspect ratios. So maybe an explanation as to why you do it that one would help me out. Thanks. by rudyZero 07/03/2009 I just found your tutorials and let me say the're awesome¡¡¡ all the basics for after effects.. all in one :D thanks so much for this... and of course in some time i will go for the advanced :D ... in some time of course thanks from Peru ;) by John Fitch 07/03/2009 Hi, Great tutorial. Just wondering, is there any need to export as MPEG2 from Premiere CS4, when you Dynamic Link it directly into Encore? I assume the conversion would be the same? So you can let Encore do it without sacrificing anything? Cheers, keep up the great work! John by Benson 07/02/2009 Awesome tutorial! You explain things very clearly and make it very easy to follow! Thanks! by Spencer 07/02/2009 Man, i can't wait until the 100th tutorial... hopefully its good as always by Matt Hartzler 07/02/2009 hahah great ending, gotta love the "short circuit" reference by Rodrigo Sagrero 07/02/2009 wow!!
