BREAKING UP LONGER VIDEO CLIPS / CREATING SUBMENUS
Longer video clips can be broken into separate chapters. To do this:
1. Highlight the video clip you wish to break up
into smaller segments.
2. Click the "Set Chapters" tab.
3. Use the playback controls/slider to go to the
point where you'd like to insert a break.
4. Click "Set Chapter." A chapter break will be
inserted.
5. You can also trim the overall length of the
video. Navigate to the spot where you want
the video to start, and click the left bracket
icon. To change the ending point, navigate
to the spot you want, and then click the right
bracket icon.
A "submenu" is created for the video file, with new chapters appearing for each chapter break you set. You can
also create a submenu by clicking "Create Submenu" beneath the main preview area (make sure you're under the
"Media" tab). Submenus are useful if you have lots of different videos under a broad subject. For example, your
DVD can be titled "Vacation," with numerous submenus for your various trips (spring, summer, winter, etc.).
CUSTOMIZING MENU TEXT
Double-click any text that appears on the menu to edit it. Click the "Text" tab to see the various text options. You
can modify the font, size, style, alignment, and color. You can even add a drop shadow. To do so, check the
"Shadow" box. You can reposition the shadow by clicking-and-dragging the shadow in the small preview window.
Two sliders are available; these let you modify the characteristics of the shadow.
