Menu Gallery
The Menu Gallery displays a thumbnail for each menu you create. It indicates the currently
selected menu by placing a red line around it. Holding the cursor over a menu displays a
tool tip showing the menu's number. This can be useful with projects containing many
menus and you are trying to link buttons to them.
This area contains a single gray box with a crosshair when you start a new project. When
you select a background for the first menu, either by dragging it to the Work Area or
directly to the gray box, or by double-clicking on it, a thumbnail of that background gets
placed in that box, and a new gray box is created next to it. Create additional menus by
dragging backgrounds to the gray box, which is always to the right of the last menu
created.
Once you have created nine menus, a slider-bar appears along the bottom, allowing you to
access any of the menus. Note that you can have several thousand menus! The practical
limit is the memory and disc space required to hold them all.
Right-clicking on a menu provides two options: Delete Menu and Duplicate Menu.
• Delete Menu removes it from the Menu Gallery (its background remains in the Media
Gallery). All menus to the right of it shift over to fill its spot. The deleted menu's
number is not rippled to following menus however. The number assigned a menu
when it is created remains with that menu, and is "retired" if that menu is deleted.
• Duplicate Menu makes a copy of the menu and places it at the end of the current
menus. The duplicated menu is an exact copy, maintaining all buttons, text, and links
of the original.
Important: It is important to realize that the Menu Gallery is not a
timeline display of the title; it simply shows the menus in the order they
were created. Any menu can link to any other menu.
First Play
The first menu in the list is significant in that it is the "First Play" item - it is the first thing
that displays when the title is played. It is also what displays when you press the Title
Menu button on a DVD player. (A player's Root Menu button takes you to the last menu
you were at.)
The first menu is the only place that a movie can be dragged to directly, making it the first
play item. It is indicated by placing sprocket holes along its sides.
A first play movie is not a menu – you cannot place buttons or text on it. See the A Movie as
First Play topic for details.
