Step Nine: Organize Your Project in Map View

As your project becomes more complex, with menus and submenus, being able to see
an overview of your complete project would be a big help. You can do just that in map
view. You can also use map view to do batch editing and add an autoplay movie to
your DVD.

In this step, you will use map view to add an autoplay movie to your iDVD project and
view the organization of your DVD map.

To switch to map view:

Did You Know?—Creating Custom Themes

Once you design the background, music, text, and buttons on your menus the way
you like, you can save your customized menu as a custom theme. A custom theme
appears in the Themes pane, in the Favorites set of themes. You can select it to use
for future projects, just as you would with any theme.

For more information about customizing themes, see iDVD Help.
