Find a menu or scene marker

In the Expert view timeline, do one of the following:

To find the first scene marker to the right or left of the current-time indicator, choose Markers > Go To Menu Marker > Next or Previous.

To find any marker in the Expert view timeline, click Markers > Menu Marker > Go To Menu Marker > Next Or Previous until you find the
marker you want.

To find a marker linked to a specific button, click the thumbnail of the menu at the bottom of the Disc Layout panel, right-click/ctrl-click
the button, and choose Reveal Marker In Timeline.

When you have found a marker in the Menu Marker dialog box, you may edit the details of the marker, or delete it by clicking the Delete

button.

Move or delete a menu or scene marker

Whether you placed a marker automatically or manually, you can move and delete markers easily.

You can delete individual markers or clear all markers from the Expert view timeline at once. If you have edited your movie since you first selected
menu templates. You may find it is easier to delete all the markers rather than drag them to new positions.

If you have already selected a template, deleting a marker also deletes the button associated with the marker from the main menu or

scenes menu.

Move a marker

In the Expert view timeline, drag the marker you want to move to the desired scene or movie.

Delete a marker

Do one of the following:

In the Expert view timeline, position the current-time indicator over the marker that you want to delete. (You may need to zoom in to the
time ruler to find the marker.) Choose Markers > Menu Marker > Clear Menu Marker.

To find and delete a marker, double-click any marker. In the marker dialog box, click the Previous and Next buttons to find the marker,
and then click the Delete button.

To delete all markers at once, choose Markers > Menu Marker > Clear All Menu Markers.

If you change your mind or make a mistake, you can undo recent deletions. Choose Edit > Undo. The marker reappears in the Expert view
timeline.

Edit menu or scene marker attributes

After you place a marker, you can change its name, type (scene, main menu, or stop), and the thumbnail image displayed in a thumbnail button on
a menu. The marker names become the button names in the main menu or scenes menu.

Some menu buttons include thumbnail images of the video to which they are linked. By default, the thumbnail displays the frame visible at the
marker. You can change the marker to better suit the content. For example, for a button representing a scene of a day at the beach, you might
want to change the button image to a close-up of the kids splashing in the water rather than the frame marked by the marker. Changing a
thumbnail for a button does not change the start point of the video to which the button is linked.
