The best way to learn what a template contains is to apply it to a menu and look for
button, drop zone, and text items. Any menu item that you can assign an image to has
a transparent arrowhead assigned by default.

These arrows indicate
menu items you can
assign images to.

Most of the templates contain motion backgrounds—be sure to have the menu play in
the Menu Editor to see how it is intended to look.

About the Template Intro Movies

The Final Cut Studio installation disc includes several video assets that are intended to
be used as menu intro files for specific supplied templates. These assets can be used to
provide a smooth transition when a menu is selected that uses the associated template.
See the “About Template Intro Movies” file, located in the Template Intro Movies folder
on the installation disc for more information. Also see
