Find matching audio when dragging: Select this checkbox to have DVD Studio Pro

automatically try to locate an audio file with the same name as the video file you have
dragged to an element, such as a menu or the Assets tab, of your project. DVD Studio Pro
only checks the folder the video file was dragged from. DVD Studio Pro does not try to
find matching audio if you drag a mixture of video and audio files. You can press the
Command key after you start dragging a video asset to temporarily override this setting.

Alignment Preferences

The Alignment preferences apply to the Menu and Subtitle Editors, allowing you to
customize the rulers, guides, and snapping actions.

Rulers: These settings allow you to customize the rulers that appear in the Menu Editor.

Note: Alignment guides can only be dragged onto the Menu Editor if the rulers are
visible.

Show: Select this to show the rulers in the Menu Editor.

Hide: Select this to hide the rulers in the Menu Editor.

Units: Choose the units for the rulers from the pop-up menu.

Pixels: The rulers show the number of pixels.

Centimeters: The rulers show the number of centimeters, based on 28.35 pixels per

centimeter.

Inches: The rulers show the number of inches, based on 72 pixels per inch.

Percentage: The rulers show the percentage of the frame.

Center ruler origin: Select this checkbox to have the rulers start at the center of the

frame. This places “0” at the center of the rulers, with the units counting up from there
in both directions. When this checkbox is not selected, the ruler’s origin is the frame’s
upper-left corner.
