Graphical Tab Introduction

The Graphical tab uses tiles to represent each element in your project. Similar to the
Outline tab, you can use the Graphical tab to select elements to work with and can rename
the elements. Each tile contains a thumbnail image that represents the element. You are
able to position the tiles as needed and can choose to view either large or small versions
of the tiles. You can also choose to view connection lines between the elements.

Graphical Tab Viewing Options

Depending on the size of your project, the Graphical tab can have a large number of tiles
and not be able to fit in the tab’s window. You can make the tab’s view larger so that
more tiles can be seen, zoom out to fit the tiles to the window, or use scrollers to view a
portion of the tile area.

To make the tab’s view larger
Do one of the following:

µ

With the Graphical tab selected, press Shift–Space bar.

The tab’s contents fill the DVD Studio Pro interface. Press Shift–Space bar again to restore
the tab to normal size. If you double-click a tile, the tab’s view reverts to normal size so
that you can see the editors.

Note: If you hold down Shift–Space bar, the large view becomes temporary and will revert
back to normal once you release the keys.

µ

Press Command–Option–Grave Accent (`, on the same key as the tilde).

µ

Drag an edge of its quadrant.
