Types of menus
A menu can include text, still images, motion footage, and audio. Depending on its composition, a menu is
considered either a still menu or a motion menu:
Still menu A menu composed of static images. It contains no moving footage or audio.
Motion menu A menu that includes moving footage or audio. A video can play in the background of the menu.
Menu buttons can include thumbnail versions of the movies to which they’re linked. You can even include audio,
such as music or narration, while the menu is displayed.
Buttons display thumbnail versions of linked video.
Button subpicture states
Button subpictures let you change the look of buttons in response to the remote control or mouse. Each button has
three possible states:
Normal Displayed when the button is not selected by the remote control or mouse.
Selected Triggered when the viewer navigates to the button with the remote control or mouse. When a menu opens,
one button is always preselected.
Activated Triggered when the viewer presses Enter on the remote control after navigating to the button or when the
viewer clicks the button with the mouse. Depending upon the player that the viewer is using, the display time of the
activated state can be very short, so designers often make the selected and activated state the same.
