Insert Additional Link/Reset Link/Delete Link
The more Links you set in a menu, the more options you give the DVD user. Adding and deleting Links
serves to structure the contents of a DVD.
 Insert additional Link -
Click this button to add a blank Link to the list; this Link must then be assigned a target.
The Link is always inserted above the current (= selected) list position.
Existing Links are shifted downward and, if necessary, another menu page is added (each with
the full default number of Links, i.e. the number of Links is the same as the number of menu but-
tons).
 Reset Link -
This button deletes an assigned target (removes target timecode from the list and Markers from
the Timeline). However, the Link remains in the list and can be reassigned (Set target).
 Delete Link -
Removes the Link from the list and the DVD Marker from the Timeline. Subsequent Links are
shifted upward.
Yo u c a n u s e t h e Delete Page function to delete unassigned Links on other menu pages page by
page.
 Move Link up/down -
To re p os i t i o n Links within the list, click the Link in the list and then click one of the two buttons
shown (repeating as necessary) until the Link is in the correct position.
Naturally, the menu button picons move with the Links (unless you’re using buttons without
picons).
The DVD Markers on the Timeline are renumbered in the process.
Set/Reset Picon
Unless otherwise specified, the Picon for a menu button contains the frame from the target point (obvi-
ously, this applies only to buttons that can display a Picon, also called “thumbnails”). But this frame may
not be the best choice. To define another frame as a Picon for a menu option:
1 Scrub the Playline at the desired position (monitor the Timeline frame in the Master View).
2 Click Set Picon.
The target timecode remains the same.
 Reset Picon -
This button deletes the selected Picon but does not modify the Link.
