116 LESSON 5
Assembling a DVD Quickly
As you've seen in previous lessons, you can create elegant navigation schemes for a DVD
using Adobe Encore DVD. For some projects, however, the speed with which you can
create the DVD is more important than the style of the DVD. In this lesson, you'll create
a DVD from rough clips, using productivity features in Adobe Encore DVD to accomplish
tasks quickly.
In the last lesson, you used menu templates from the Library palette. In this lesson, you
will use the Library palette more extensively, and create a DVD with a minimal number
of steps. In the process, you will learn how to do the following:
• Set the default menu in the Library palette.
• Set the default button in the Library palette.
• Import items directly into the Library palette.
• Simultaneously create buttons and timelines, and links between them.
• Arrange, resize, and position buttons in a menu.
• Add data files to a disc.
• Burn a CD using Adobe Encore DVD.
Getting started
In this lesson, you'll quickly assemble an Adobe Encore DVD project, using graphic and
video files included on the Adobe Encore DVD Classroom in a Book DVD. Make sure you

in a Book files" on page 2.
