Adding Quadrants to the Basic and Extended Configurations

There are two ways to add quadrants to the basic and extended configurations: Choose
a different configuration or drag their edges in toward the center.

The basic configuration is actually just the upper-right quadrant with its left and bottom
boundaries dragged to the edges of the interface. To add a quadrant to the left half of
the interface, drag the left edge toward the center. To add a quadrant to the bottom half,
drag the bottom edge toward the center.

The extended configuration has the lower-left quadrant hidden. To add it, drag the
lower-left edge toward the center.

Working with the Tabs

The quadrants hold the tabs that contain the primary controls of the DVD Studio Pro
interface. You can select a tab to make it active, move the tab to a different quadrant, or
“tear off” the tab to make it available in its own window.

Viewing a Tab’s Contents

When you have multiple tabs in a quadrant, only one is active and can be seen. There
are several methods you can use to make a tab active so that it appears in front of the
others.

To view a tab’s contents
Do one of the following:

µ

Click the tab you want to view.

µ

Choose Window > [name of tab].

µ

Use the tab’s keyboard shortcut. For a compete list of keyboard shortcuts, see

Keyboard Shortcuts

.

Note: If a tab is hidden, choosing it from the Window menu or using the keyboard shortcut
makes it appear as a separate window.

In many cases, selecting an element in the Outline or Graphical tab automatically activates
related tabs (if they are assigned to a quadrant). For example, if you double-click a menu
in the Outline tab, the Menu tab becomes active.

Rearranging Tabs Within a Quadrant

You can change the order in which tabs appear within a quadrant.

To change the order of tabs

µ

Drag a tab to a new position.
