Using motion menus

When Motion menu is selected, the movie will use the beginning part of the video at a fixed duration instead of the first video frame as button thumbnails. The duration of motion menus range from 6 to 30 seconds.

Using motion menus will increase the file size. Check the disc space usage indicator to make sure that the file size is still within the limit of the DVD. Refer to the Required menu space to make sure the space for the menu does not exceed the menu space limit of your selected output.

Use video backgrounds and buttons to enhance the appearance of your menus. Select a customized template first then choose a video for your buttons or background.

Customizing menu templates
