1—2 SpruceUp User’s Guide
Welcome to SpruceUp!
Welcome to SpruceUp! We trust you will find SpruceUp an easy to use but powerful tool for
creating DVD titles.
Suggested places to go from here are:
• To learn how to get the best from SpruceUp's help, see the Using This Help topic.
• See the Introduction topic for general information about SpruceUp.
• See the Main Window topic for an overview of the GUI.
• For a quick run-through of SpruceUp, see the Quickstart topic.
• The Tutorial topic provides a detailed tour of SpruceUp, walking you through the
process of creating a title.
• The Creating Menus topic covers the details of building menus.
• The Assets topic covers the asset types that SpruceUp supports and how to import
them.
• If you are new to DVDs, then the What is a DVD Title and the Creating a DVD Title
Overview topics would be useful.
SpruceUp User Forum
It is also highly recommended you take the time to visit the SpruceUp User Forum at:
www.spruceuserforums.com/SpruceUp
You will need to register to get a password, but it is worth it (and it is free). You can post
suggestions and questions and look over other posts. There are also a lot of links there to
download additional SpruceUp assets and other goodies.
SpruceUp's ReadMe
We recommend you take some time and go through the ReadMe file included with this
release. It contains late-breaking information and issues relating to specific configurations.
Open the ReadMe from SpruceUp's folder on the Start menu (Start – Programs – Spruce
Technologies – SpruceUp – ReadMe).
About This Manual
This manual is based on the SpruceUp help file - they each contain virtually the same
content. Certain areas are organized a bit differently in an effort to make the manual flow a
bit better. You will also notice a lot of references to “topics” throughout this manual. These
equate to sections in this manual.
When possible, we strongly encourage you to use SpruceUp’s help. It is structured with links
to provide quick access to the information you are looking for. As a note, the help file
(SpruceUp.chm) can be run as a standalone file, without the SpruceUp application.
