Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key).
• Control-click in an empty area of the Outline or Graphical tab, then choose Delete from
the shortcut menu.
Important:
If you delete a track that has stories, the stories are also deleted. An alert
appears to warn you of this.
Duplicating Elements
You can duplicate elements within the Outline and Graphical tabs. You can build a chapter
index menu, for example, and quickly make duplicates of it that just need to have their
connections changed to become functional.
To duplicate an element
1
Select the element to duplicate.
You can also select multiple elements.

Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Duplicate (or press Command-D).
• If you have selected a single element, Control-click the element, then choose Duplicate
from the shortcut menu.
• If you have selected a group of elements, Control-click in an empty area of the tab,
then choose Duplicate from the shortcut menu.
The new element is named with its type (menu, track, and so on) followed by the next
number. For example, if you duplicate a menu when there are already five menus, the
new one becomes “Menu 6.” In the Outline tab, the new element appears last in the
section.
Assigning the First Play Element
In addition to using the Disc Inspector or the Connections tab, you can assign your
project’s First Play element directly in the Outline or Graphical tab. The First Play element
is the one that plays when a DVD player begins playing the project.
To assign the First Play element in the Outline tab
Do one of the following:
µ
Control-click the disc element, choose First Play from the shortcut menu, then choose
the First Play element from the submenu. This method allows you to select a specific
button (menu), slide (slideshow), or chapter marker (track or story) within an element to
play from.
