• Button Outlines button: You can turn on button outlines, which show each button’s

or shape assigned, turning off button outlines can make them disappear, which can
be confusing if you later forget they are there and add them again.
• Guides button: You can show or hide the menu guides created when you drag from
the rulers into the Menu Editor. This does not affect the dynamic guides that appear
when you drag items in the menu. See

for details on setting the menu guide preferences. You can also

• Motion button: Applies to standard menus only. Use this button to start or stop playback
of video and audio assets assigned to the menu. This is useful for motion menus and
still menus that include audio, providing a preview of how the motion elements appear.
You can also press the Space bar or Command-J to turn the motion on and off.
Note: The Motion button in DVD Studio Pro does not work the same way as the similar
button in iDVD. In DVD Studio Pro, the Motion button does not have to be active to
create a motion menu. It does not affect how the menu will appear when you finish
the project and build the title.
