The layer sets and buttons convert to nested compositions. 3 In After Effects, animate the menu elements as desired. Set keyframes for position, scale, rotation, or any effects at the times when you want the animation to start and stop. For example, you may want each of three buttons to rotate for 5 seconds at staggered intervals. Don't make the button subpicture layers visible in the composition because they must remain part of the menu in Encore. Convert text layers to editable text if desired. 4 Render the movie as a video file.
