Creating disc menus

Note: Although an auto-play disc does not contain menus that link to the marker, existing menu and scene markers in the

project can be useful. The Next and Previous buttons on a DVD or Blu-ray player’s remote control skip ahead or back to

main menu markers and scene markers. Stop markers are ignored.

In the Adjust panel, click Auto-Play.

The men

us are removed from the Adjust panel and the markers are as chapter points in an auto-play disc.

Preview Disc panel overview

It’s always a good idea to preview a disc before you burn it. The Preview Disc panel contains controls that mimic those on

a DVD or Blu-ray player’s remote control. By using these controls, you can test each button on the menus and view

the video to which they link. You can preview a disc in a window or full-screen.

Preview a menu-based DVD or Blu-ray Disc

You can preview a menu-based disc at any point after dragging a template onto the Disc Layout panel.

1 Click Tools on the Action bar and choose Movie Menu from the Tools panel, if necessary, to open the Disc Layout

panel.

2 In the Movie Menu panel, click Preview.

Note: If you are notified that buttons overlap, see Change the placement and size of menu items.

3 In the Preview Disc window, use the navigation controls or your mouse to click each button and view each scene

video. If the menu or button thumbnails have video or audio, those clips play so that you can preview them before

burning a disc.

4 Click the Play Full Screen icon to preview the disc in full screen.

5 Move the mouse. This opens a Disc control panel you can use, while in full-screen mode, to emulate the remote

control for a disc player.
