To change the default button in the Library panel
Adobe Encore DVD uses the default button when you drag an item such as a video, timeline, or menu from the
Project panel to a menu in the Menu Viewer. This shortcut lets you quickly place a button and automatically link it
to the dragged element. In this shortcut, Adobe Encore DVD places the default button on the menu. You can set the
default button to any button in the selected Library set. (A star appears in the icon next to the current default button.)
❖ In the Library panel, right-click the button that you want to be the default, and choose Set As Default Button.
Adding objects to menus
To add objects from the Project panel to a menu
1 Create or open a menu.
2 Drag the object (such as a video file, timeline, or menu) from the Project panel to the menu in the Menu Viewer.
If you drag an object such as a timeline or slide show to a blank area, Adobe Encore DVD creates a button (based on
the default button in the currently active set in the Library panel) and links it to the destination. If you drag a video
file, a timeline is created for it as well. If you drag such an object to an existing button, its contents and link are
replaced.
