ADOBE ENCORE DVD
Classroom in a Book
Working with multiple menus
This DVD project includes two menus and three video timelines. To begin the project,
you’ll define the end actions for the timelines, so that they play sequentially.
1 Choose File > New Project. Click OK to accept NTSC as the television standard.
The Project window opens. Next you’ll import the menus.
2 Right-click in the Project window, and choose Import as Menu. Navigate to the Lesson
06 folder. Select the Outtakes_main.psd and Outtakes_Indiv.psd files, and then click
Open. (To select multiple files, hold down the Ctrl key.)
These files were created in Adobe Photoshop, using layers that are named according to
Adobe Encore DVD naming conventions. Adobe Encore DVD automatically converts the
files to menus, and converts the layers to buttons and subpictures, as appropriate.
When you import a menu into the Project window, Adobe Encore DVD opens the Menu
Editor window and displays the menu. When you import two menus, both are open in
the Menu Editor window. Adobe Encore DVD displays a tab for each one. You can have
several menus open in the Menu Editor window at once.
3 Click the Outtakes_main tab in the Menu Editor window to view the main menu.
This menu has two buttons. One button, named “Play All Outtakes,” will play the three
timelines in sequence. The other button, named “Individual Outtakes,” will link to the
Outtakes_Indiv menu.
