Creating disc menus

Last updated 10/4/2016

Edit menu or scene marker attributes

After you place a marker, you can change its name, type (scene, main menu, or stop), and the thumbnail image

displayed in a thumbnail button on a menu. The marker names become the button names in the main menu or scenes

menu.

Some menu buttons include thumbnail images of the video to which they are linked. By default, the thumbnail displays

he frame visible at the marker. You can change the marker to better suit the content. For example, for a button

representing a scene of a day at the beach, you might want to change the button image to a close-up of the kids splashing

in the water rather than the frame marked by the marker. Changing a thumbnail for a button does not change the start

point of the video to which the button is linked.

1 In the Expert view timeline, double-click the marker you want to edit, or locate the marker using the Previous and

Next buttons.

2 In the Menu Marker dialog box, do any of the following, and then click OK:

• To rename the marker, type a name for the marker in the text box. Text in this box doesn’t wrap, so to place the

me on multiple lines, press Ctrl+Enter for each new line. Keep the name short so that it fits in the menu a

oesn’t overlap another button. (You can adjust the name later, after you select a template.)

• To change the marker type, select the type of marker you want to set in the Marker Type menu.

• To change the thumbnail for the button, drag the Thumbnail Offset timecode to select the image you want

displayed in the button thumbnail in the menu. If you choose a menu with thumbnail images, the image yo

lect displays in the menu when you create the disc. (This thumbnail is for the menu display only; the video

linked to the button starts at the marker location.)
