Chapter 7: How Tos

7.10 Design Menus

Once you have added content to your DVD in the Create module, you can customize the look and feel of your menu.

Modification 1: Organizing Chapter Buttons

To organize the chapter buttons, click the Customize tab. In the Layout section, double-click the layout that you want. You can also click and drag the chapter buttons to customize the layout.

Modification 2: Animating Chapter Buttons

Chapter buttons, rather than being static, can actually play the videos they represent. From the Media tab, check the "Animated Thumbnails" box. Set the time (in seconds) that the video should play before it loops. Click "Preview Animation" to see how it looks. Note that there may be considerable processing time depending on your system and the length of the animated loop.

Modification 3: Updating Chapter Button Frames

Each chapter button can have its own unique frame. Click the Customize tab. Then, select the chapter button that you want to update and double-click the frame you want to use.

Modification 4: Adding Audio

Add music to your menu by clicking and dragging an audio file to the "Background Music" section beneath the preview area. You can add a different track to each menu page.
