Adding graphic objects to menus
To add graphic objects to a menu:
1. Double-click the menu in the Project window. The menu appears on the Menu tab of the
Preview window.
2. Click the Buttons or Frames tab in the Palette window:
Frames are button objects that include a thumbnail image of the linked material. When
you link a menu or title to the button, DVDit Pro HD generates the thumbnail
automatically. See
“Creating buttons and menus in Adobe Photoshop” on page 55 for
information on creating your own buttons and frames.
3. If you clicked the Buttons tab, select a button category from the Show pop-up menu:
- Show Button Images: Contains the same assets as the Images tab.
- Show Button Objects: Contains general button designs.
- Show Navigation Buttons: Contains buttons suitable for linking menus together.
- Show Button Video: Contains the same video assets as the Media tab.
4. Drag an asset onto the menu in the Preview window. The object appears on the menu.
If you use video assets from the Show Button Video category, you can choose which frame
appears on the menu object. See
“Setting menu button images” on page 136 .
If you use a large image or video asset to create a menu object, DVDit Pro HD scales the
menu object to a default size. You can change the default size in the Preferences dialog box.
See
“Changing DVDit Pro HD’s preferences” on page 159 .
To replace a graphic object:
t
Drag a new image or frame asset onto the existing object in the Preview window. The
object changes to the new design while retaining the original object’s size, position,
links, and other attributes.
