Zoom Level Increases or decreases the magnification of the image in the Monitor panel by the specified percentage.
If Fit is selected, the video frame is scaled to match the size of the monitor panel’s boundaries.
Show Safe Area Displays the action safe zones and title safe zones. Keep subtitles within the boundaries of the
inner guides to avoid clipping on some monitors. (Television monitors reduce the visible area of footage and menus.
The actual amount that is clipped varies from monitor to monitor.)
Adding assets to timelines
To create timelines
❖ In the Project panel, do one of the following:
• Choose Timeline > New Timeline. A blank timeline is created, ready for you to add assets.
• Right-click the video, audio, or still image in the Project panel, and choose New > Timeline. Adobe Encore DVD
opens the Timeline Viewer and creates a new timeline with the asset already placed on the appropriate track.
To place assets together in the same timeline, select both a video and an audio file in the Project panel and click the
New Timeline button.

To add video clips to timelines
1 In the Project panel, do one of the following:
• Right-click the video in the Project panel, and choose New > Timeline. Adobe Encore DVD opens the Timeline
Viewer and creates a new timeline with the video already placed on the video track.
• Choose Timeline > New Timeline. Drag the desired video from the Project panel to the video track of the new
timeline. Adobe Encore DVD positions a video clip at the beginning of the timeline, regardless of where in the
timeline you release the mouse.
2 To add additional video clips to the timeline, drag the video from the Project panel or Adobe Bridge to the video
track.
Adobe Encore DVD positions each video adjacent to the next and automatically adds a chapter point to the
beginning of each video track. You can reposition a video track and its chapter point as needed.
