with background music. To use a video file, select

color mapping settings for the navigation buttons, scene 

selection buttons, text buttons, numbers, and frames

.

as a frame for the menu template.

Object class: Scene

Items:

Scene button

 Indicates that the selected object will be used as 

a scene placeholder. You can specify the scene button’s button 

number as well as the default color mapping settings.
If you have a placeholder that is rotated to a certain degree, 

use 

Rotation angle

 to correct the orientation of the video or 

image link to make it conform to the angle of the placeholder. 

Rotation angle

 does not rotate the placeholder.  

Note: 

Make sure that the background object does not contain any masks. 

DVD Menu Plug-in disregards any mask applied on the image. Also the 
background image size must be the same as the canvas size.

Note: 

Color mapping settings of template objects can still be changed in 

their respective object properties.
