Deleting DVD markers
You can delete individual DVD markers or clear all markers from the Timeline window at
once. If you have edited your movie since you first selected DVD menu templates, you may
find it is easier to delete all the markers at once, rather than drag them to new positions.
Note: If you have already selected a DVD template, deleting a DVD marker also deletes the
button associated with the marker from the main menu or scenes submenu.
To delete a DVD marker by using the menu command:
1
In the Timeline window, position the current-time indicator over the DVD marker that you
want to delete. You may need to zoom into the time ruler to better position the marker.
2
Choose Marker > Clear DVD Marker > DVD Marker At Current Time Indicator (CTI).
You can also delete a marker by double-clicking it in the Timeline window. Then in
the DVD Marker dialog box, click the Delete button, and click OK.
To clear the Timeline window of all DVD markers:
With the Timeline window active, choose Marker > Clear DVD Marker > All DVD Markers.
Creating menu-based DVDs
You create a menu-based DVD by using the predesigned menu templates included in
Adobe Premiere Elements. Each template includes a main menu and scene selection
submenu. The templates automatically link menu buttons with DVD markers in the
Timeline window.
In the templates, the main menus contain a minimum of two buttons: one to play the movie,
the other to display a scene-selection submenu. The main menus in some templates also
contain additional buttons designed to jump to other movies marked in the Timeline window.
The scene selection submenus generally contain buttons with both an identifying label and
a thumbnail image from the scene. (The thumbnail on the menu displays a still image from
the video, not the video itself.)
