About the Menu Editor
The Menu Editor is contained in the Menu tab. It displays the menu graphics in either a
4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio (depending on what is set in the Menu tab in the Menu
Inspector). There are also several buttons and pop-up menus that let you select what
appears in the editor and provide tools that help with the menu creation process.
The Menu Editor scales the menu to fit within its quadrant. As you make the quadrant
larger, the menu also increases up to the point that it reaches full size, when it stops
growing and the extra area around it is filled with gray. When working with the larger
HD resolutions, however, you may find it difficult to increase the quadrant’s size
enough to show the menu at full size. One option is to tear off the Menu tab into its
own window, which you can then resize without affecting the rest of the
DVD Studio Pro interface. See “Tearing Off a Tab Into Its Own Window” on page 146 for
more information.
