Chapter 9: Disc menus 169
track, which materializes above the video track the first
time a menu is added to your movie (and vanishes
again if all menus are removed).
The menu itself is marked by a colored rectangle in the
menu track (M1 and M2 in the illustration above). Each
link to a chapter is shown by a “C” flag. Here is a
close-up of the first part of the Timescale, showing the
rectangle identifying the first menu, and the chapter
flags for three of the clips it links to.
The next part of the Timescale in the overview
illustration above includes the fourth chapter link from
M1, and a link (the left-pointing arrow) from the end of
the previous clip back to the menu. A result of setting
this link is that the C4 clip can only be reached from
the menu. The C4 clip is followed by menu M2, which
– along with the flags that belong to it – is
automatically drawn in a new color.
Availability: Discs with multiple menus are not supported in the SE
and QuickStart versions of Studio.
Editing on the menu track
Flags on the menu track can be moved by dragging
them with the mouse, thereby changing the location at
which the link takes effect in the movie. When a video
clip is moved, any flags attached to the clip are moved
along with it.
