Adding submenus to a video project

Each project element (video file, still picture file, and
slideshow) that you add to the video project is
represented in the main project window.
Each menu displays six items before a new
menu is automatically created and linked to
the previous menu by a Next button.
You can manually add submenus to a project and
use them to organize topics associated with the
theme of your project. For example, if the project is
your child's soccer game, the video files of the game
could be the main menu elements, and you could
insert a submenu that contains interviews with your
son and his teammates.
To add a submenu to a video project:
1
Click File, Open, and then select a video
project that you created as described in
"Creating a Video Project" on page 94.
