image, go to the main “Edit” menu and trim the scene or split it into two scenes and select the second half of the scene as your icon stamp selection.

The “Mode” button gives you the choice of

“Still” or “Animated”, so that you can specify a fixed or moving background scene. The duration of a moving background scene is limited to one minute. You can choose a scene that lasts longer than a minute, but the material will loop after the first minute.

The DVD menu is played in an infinite loop. (Please read the practice example 4.2 “Menu layout with PIP-Studio”).

If you have specified either “Color” or “Pattern” under “Type”, then of course only the setting “Still” is possible.

If on the other hand you have picked “Scene” under “Type” and “Animated” under “Mode”, then the audio of your scene can be heard during background display if you activate the “Audio” control.

•“Title”: You can use this function to give the background menu a proper title.

Clicking on the button “Text” causes the screen keyboard to be called up, with which you can enter a title after you have deleted the existing title.

You can enter a text consisting of several lines.

Now you can enter the words meant for the next line. The first such letter appears directly after the “n” entered together with the backslash. After you press “Ok”, you will see the text you have entered appear as a multi-line title.

If you have the Power Key-Option, then you can exit the screen keyboard with the Return key.

If you are using SMART EDIT version 3.1, then simply press (also with Power Key-Option) the key combination “Alt, Return” if you want to move to a new line. The “Return” character then appears directly after the previously entered letter. Now you can enter the words destined for the next line. These words are displayed directly after the “Return” character. Clicking on “Ok” (or pressing the “Return” key with the Power Key-Option) lets you see the text you have entered as a multi-line heading.

Clicking on “Font style/size” causes the usual font selection panel to be called up. You can use this to select the font and font size from every font in your Casablanca.

The button “Style” calls up the window “Text Style” in which you can set further attributes. You can use the button “Position” to position the heading exactly where you would like it, e.g. at the upper or lower screen edge. The text appears in a dashed-line frame that you can reposition with the trackball. You confirm the chosen position by clicking with the left trackball key.

•“Stamps”: With this function you can specify the type of beginning images that represent your films on the DVD. The first picture of this scene will later represent the film in the DVD menu.

Please note that only one beginning image can be selected for each film, i.e. you can specify a maximum of six beginning images on the DVD.
