Using the Outline Tab
The Outline tab provides a simple list view of your project’s elements. It contains two
displays: By Type and By VTS. You can click the Alternate View button to switch between
the two displays or drag the partition to show both displays at the same time.
The elements in the By VTS and By Type displays are very similar and can be used to do
many of the same things. For example, double-clicking an element in either display opens
it in its editor and inspector. (Selecting an element in one display also selects that same
element in the other.)
The primary difference is in how they are organized.
• By VTS: Lists the elements based on the VTS they belong to. A VTS can have only one
track (which can also have stories) or one slideshow, but it can have multiple menus
and scripts. The primary use of the By VTS display is to control how your project’s
elements are written to a DVD. See
for more information.
• By Type: Lists the elements based on their type (menus, tracks, slideshows, and scripts).
See
for more information on using the By Type display.
