To Choose A Dvd Menu Template; To Change A Dvd Menu Template - Adobe PREMIERE PRO 2 Manual

To choose a DVD menu template

After you set the DVD markers, you are ready to select the DVD menu template. When choosing a template, don't
worry if the menu doesn't have enough menu buttons to match each DVD marker in your movie. Adobe Premiere
Pro creates additional menus as needed. When you select a template, the button text on the menus changes to the
names you've given the DVD markers. If you added the markers automatically or haven't named the markers, you
can name them after you select the template, as well as change the title of the menu. Without marker names, the
buttons remain as named in the template.
You normally add DVD markers before you select a DVD template, but it isn't required. You can add, move, or delete
DVD markers after choosing a template. Adobe Premiere Pro dynamically adjusts the DVD menus to match the
markers, adding or deleting buttons as necessary.
Note: If the sequence does not contain any DVD markers, the first time you select a DVD menu template, Adobe
Premiere Pro asks you if you want to add DVD scene markers automatically.
Choose Window > DVD Layout, and then choose the sequence name you want to burn to DVD.

5 Scroll through the templates until you find the template that best matches the project.
Select the desired template, and Click OK. Adobe Premiere Pro links the buttons to the DVD markers in the
6
sequence and inserts the DVD marker names for the button text.
7 If the sequence contains no DVD markers, you see a dialog box asking if you want to add scene markers automat-
ically. (See "To automatically add scene markers to a sequence" on page 408.)
8 Click the small version of the menu in the bottom of the DVD Layout panel to view a menu. If necessary, use the
scroll bar to scroll to the menu you want to view, or resize the window to view more side-by-side.
After you choose a template in the DVD Layout panel, you can customize the menu, preview the DVD, or burn the
DVD.

lost.
