LESSON 2
30
Creating Menus in Adobe Encore DVD
Menus can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be. You can create a menu
entirely in Adobe Encore DVD, as you will in this lesson, or you can design a menu in
Adobe Photoshop and import it into your DVD project. (You’ll use Photoshop to create
a menu in Lesson 3.)
Creating a new menu
You’ll create a menu in Adobe Encore DVD. First, you will open a new project, and then
you will add the menu.
1
Choose File > New Project. Click OK to accept NTSC as the television standard.
A new Project window appears. Now you’ll create a new menu.
2
Choose Menu > New Menu.
The Menu Editor window appears, displaying the default menu, which is named NTSC_4
x 3 Blank Menu. Notice that the menu is also listed in the Project window.
The Menu Editor window is the work area for creating and editing menus in Adobe
Encore DVD. You can place, move, resize, or delete buttons and subpictures in the Menu
Editor window, and you can also add and format text. Use the buttons at the bottom of
the Menu Editor window to change how the menu is displayed.
