After you have made these Background settings, go to the menu item “Title”. Here you can give a name to your background menu.

By clicking on the button “Text” you call up the screen keyboard (or with the Power Key-Option) with which you can enter a title of your choice, e.g. “Vacation 2000 to 2003”. In Chapter 3.1 you can read about how to enter multi-line text.

Finally, you specify the appearance and position of your text with the functions “Font style/size”, “Text Style” and “Position”.

The next option “Stamps” specifies the appearance of the start images of the stamp icons that represent the film projects in the DVD menu screen.

Click on one of the project icons so that a dashed-line frame appears around it.

For this example , click the “Type”button and select the option “Stamp f. scene”, so that the film is represented by the first image of the corresponding film project.

You will now notice that the “Select Scene” button is now active. It lets you call up the menu from which you select the desired project, so that the scene bin appears, from which you can select a scene that replaces the default start image.

Click on the “Size” button and specify the option “medium” and click on the“Position” button

and set the position of the icon.

After you have made these settings for the first image, you can do the same for the other images. You might wish to vary some of the settings, e.g. set another size.

Now enter the menu “Film Texts” in which you also activate a stamp icon. After clicking on the button “Text” the screen keyboard appears with which you can rename the marked film. This is useful when your projects e.g. were named “P1” previously, or were titled with an inappropriate name.(Text entry works according to the same principle as “Title” entry or modification.)

Using the button “Position” you specify the text’s position in relation to the icon. If you have entered a multi-line text, the text can appear only under the stamp icon.

After you have made the settings for the first stamp, you can do the same for the others.

Now go to the menu “Film Text-attributes”, in which you can change the appearance of the film title with the buttons “Select font” and “Select Style”. The changes you make in this menu are global, so all the titles of all of the film projects are affected.

Now go to the menu item “Borders” in order to specify the frame type of the films that will be inactive in the DVD menu, (i.e. have not been selected to be played).

Set the “Size” to the value 4 and select a nice green from “Color”.

After you have made these settings (that automatically affect all films) go to the menu “active Borders”. Here you can specify the appearance of the active stamp icon selected later in the DVD menu.

Use the button “Selection Color” (that defines the frame color in its active state) to select a deep yellow.
