A "submenu" is created for the video file, with new chapters appearing for each chapter break you
set. You can also create a submenu by clicking "Create Submenu" beneath the main preview area
(make sure you're under the "Media" tab). Submenus are useful if you have lots of different videos
under a broad subject. For example, your DVD can be titled "Vacation," with numerous submenus
for your various trips (spring, summer, winter, etc.).
CUSTOMIZING MENU TEXT
Double-click any text that appears on the menu to edit it. Click the "Text" tab to see the various
text options. You can modify the font, size, style, alignment, and color. You can even add a drop
shadow. To do so, check the "Shadow" box. You can reposition the shadow by clicking-and-
dragging the shadow in the small preview window. Two sliders are available; these let you modify
the characteristics of the shadow.
CREATING A SLIDESHOW
You can easily create a photo slideshow, which is added to your movie as a separate chapter. To
create a slideshow:
1. From the Media tab, click "Create Slideshow."
2. Choose the album or folder that contains the photos you wish to include in your slideshow.
3. Hold down the CTRL key and single-click the photos you wish to add.
4. Click "Add" (click "Add All" to add all of the photos in the current location).
5. Click and drag the photos you've added to place them in the desired order.
6. If a photo needs to be rotated, highlight the photo and click "Rotate."
7. The "Set Thumbnail" button uses the currently highlighted photo as the chapter button thumbnail
for the slideshow on the menu.
