Selecting Button Frame and Mask
Select the Button Layout option to set the frame and mask that displays when a
menu button is selected or is active. Select an icon from the list or click Import
Custom to import your own custom frame and mask icons.
Selecting Button Layout
Select the Button Layout option and then select the desired layout of the thumbnail
buttons on the selected page. The number of layouts available is dependent on the
template you are editing.
Enabling 3D Depth in Disc Menus
If you are creating a 3D video production and want your disc menu to be in 3D,
click the button and then select the Enable 3D depth* option.
Note: when using this feature, select the button to enable 3D mode for best
editing results. See Previewing in 3D Mode for more information on using this
mode. * Optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table on
our web site for detailed versioning information.
Once enabled, use the slider to set the amount of depth you want the disc menu
objects (text, buttons, etc.) to have in 3D. Dragging the slider left will make the 3D
disc menu objects seem nearer to the audience (in the foreground), while dragging
it right will make it appear farther away (in the background).
