May be a topic for Vegas Video, but...

This may be a question I should ask in the Vegas Video forum, but in the end it will apply to DVDA.

I'm sitting there with Kill Bill Vol 1 in my DVD player while my wife is smoking a cigarette and I'm watching the menu over and over again, and I'm wondering exactly how they did some of the things they did. On the left hand side of the menu they have it split into three narrow "windows" with video playing in each. Sometimes they had it so each window played its own video, and sometimes they combined to make one big screen, like when you combine multiple TV's to make one big picture. On most of the right side of the screen is, if I remember correctly, splattered blood.

My question is, how would I go about doing something like that? For those of you who have seen it you'll have a better picture in your head. I've seen interesting menus before and wondered how they did it.

I guess I just need to get better at Vegas Video.

Haven't seen the DVD, but yeah, sounds like a Vegas question. It's just a motion / video background, which DVDA can use but can't create.

Check out the Vegas manual for "track motion" and "pan/crop." That should get you on the road to the video screen effects. No idea about the blood -- how far are you willing to go? <g>

Oh I know all about pan/crop, motion track and whatnot. And yeah, it probably is a Vegas question. Truthfully, if I took the time to mess around I'd probably figure something out. Honostly I shouldn't have even posted the question because by the time I got done typing it I knew what I had to do, I just had to spell it out for myself.
