How Does DVD Authoring Work?
How Does DVD Authoring Work?
This section introduces the basic terminology and the basics of authoring using Avid Liquid. The inter-
activity of a DVD is the result of authoring. If you only want to export a film to DVD instead of to a DV or
VHS tape, use File > Burn to Disc > DVD in Avid Liquid.
Follow the usual procedure to assemble your material on the Timeline. Insert a DVD menu before the
start of the Sequence. This is the main menu that is the first to be displayed when the DVD is inserted in
the player. A separate Tr a c k (DVD Track) is reserved on the Timeline for this and other DVD menus:
Everything you need for DVD authoring: Timeline with clips and DVD menu,
DVD Editor (shown here with a couple of Links)
The actual authoring procedure takes place in the DVD Editor, which you can open as soon as at least one
DVD menu appears on the Timeline.
Authoring generally means designing the navigation structure of a DVD and, more specifically:
Linking the selection buttons in a menu to audio/video Sequences on the Timeline;
Designing menus and sometimes even linking them to each other;
Setting Return Markers in order to return to menus.
