Drop Palette
The Drop Palette appears in the Menu Editor when you drag an asset or project element
to it. Once you stop moving the pointer, the Drop Palette appears, allowing you to choose
how to use the asset within the menu. The contents of the Drop Palette vary, depending
on the asset or element type, how many assets you drag, and whether you have dragged
to an existing button.
See Options in the Drop Palette for Standard Menus and Options in the Drop Palette for
Layered Menus for a complete listing of the options in the Drop Palette.
Comparing the Outline and Graphical Project Views
DVD Studio Pro includes two tabs you can use to view and work with your project: the
Outline tab and the Graphical tab. Each tab has its own advantages, and you will most
likely find yourself using both as you create your project.
The Outline and Graphical tabs both:
• Show all project elements
• Allow you to select an element so that you can work on it
• Allow you to rename an element
• Allow you to add, delete, and duplicate elements
• Allow you to show the selected element in the Simulator
• Automatically create new elements when assets are dragged to the tabs, or modify
existing elements if assets are dragged to an existing element in the tabs
• Allow you to drag elements to the Menu Editor to establish connections
