This guide presents step-by-step explanations on how to design video clips for
seamless motion video background in a DVD menu using Adobe Premiere.
Seamless motion video provides the smooth transition from the end of a video
segment back to its beginning without any noticeable discontinuity of playback.
In this guide, Adobe Premiere 6.5 is used to produce the desired effect in the
final video clip. This technique will work with any Premiere version. If you are
unfamiliar with Adobe Premiere, this guide shows you as a potential DVD author an
attractive low-cost and uncompromising avenue to author seamless motion video for
producing commercial grade DVD motion menu.
The sample video is provided in the MPEG-4 AVI format to deliver the video file in
size as small as possible without sacrificing video quality. Since Premiere supports
a wide range of video formats, the technique explains in this guide will work with
popular video format such as digital video DV in either NTSC or PAL video standard.
Seamless motion video must be carefully designed so that the looping or going back
does not appear to pause or to show discontinuity momentarily with either the video
or audio playback. To make the human eye less sensitive to any noticeable transition,
the fade-in and fade-out effects of a title are applied to the first few seconds at
the beginning and at the end of the video clip. The following video clip without
audio demonstrates the technique explained in this guide.
