USING ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 8 EDITOR
Creating disc menus
Last updated 8/12/2010
3 To edit buttons connected to markers, double-click the text or button, do any of the following in the Menu Marker
dialog box, and then click
OK:
•
To rename the marker (and the button in the menu), type a new name and click
OK. To use multiple lines, press
Ctrl+Enter for each new line. Keep the name short so that it fits in the menu and doesn’t overlap another button.
•
To select the image you want displayed in the button thumbnail in the menu, drag the Thumbnail Offset timecode,
and click
OK. (This thumbnail is for the menu display only. If you select the Motion Menu Button option, the video
linked to the button starts at the marker location.)
•
To delete a button, click Delete. The marker is deleted from the Timeline and the button from the menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click the button’s marker in the Timeline, and choose Clear Menu Marker.
