Note: The Languages section in the By Type display does not represent actual elements—it
represents languages that can be used for the menus. It does not appear in the By VTS
display because it is not specific to a VTS.

Click each section’s
disclosure triangle to
view its contents.

Option-click the Tracks
disclosure triangle to also

Selecting Elements

The most common way to use the Outline tab is to select a project element so that you
can configure it. Selecting an element changes the Inspector and the element’s editor to
display settings for that particular element. Double-clicking an element brings the editor
to the front of the DVD Studio Pro interface, the same as if you clicked its tab.

You can select several elements at once by holding down the Command key while clicking
the elements, or select all elements by pressing Command-A. You can delete, duplicate,
and save descriptions of a group of elements.

If you hold the pointer over an element in the Outline tab, a tooltip appears that shows
additional information about the element, such as what type of menu it is or how many
streams it has.

Moving Elements in the By Type Display

You can move an element from one position to another within the same section.

Note: The order of the elements in the By Type display does not affect how the elements
are written to the DVD.
