You can create a submenu by clicking "Create Submenu" beneath the main preview area when you are in the Media tab.

You can also break a longer video clip into separate chapters, and have a submenu created automatically created for the video file, with new chapter buttons appearing for each chapter break you set. Here's how:

-Select the video clip you wish to break up into smaller segments.

-Click the Set Chapters tab.

-Use the playback controls/slider to go to the point where you would like to insert a chapter break.

-Click "Set Chapter." A chapter break is inserted.

-You can also trim the overall length of the video using the left and right bracket icons.
