To automatically add scene markers to a sequence
You get the best results when automatically adding scene markers if each scene in your movie is a separate clip, and
all the clips you want marked are on the Video 1 track. When your movie consists of multiple clips that overlay each
other, you may prefer to place scene markers manually or place them at set intervals.
Automatically placed scene markers do not have names, so the buttons on the Scene submenu remain as named in
the template. To customize the buttons, you can either name the markers after they are placed or rename the buttons
after you select the template.
1 Click the Timeline panel to make it active.
2 Choose Marker > Auto-Generate DVD Markers.
3 In the Automatically Set DVD Scene Markers dialog box, select how you want the markers placed, entering a value
if required:
At Each Scene Places a scene marker at each edit point (cut) between clips on the Video 1 track.
Every _ Minutes Places scene markers at the interval you specify. (This option is only available when the movie
contains several minutes of footage.)
Total Markers Places the number of markers you specify evenly spaced across the entire range of clips in the
Timeline panel.
4 If the sequence contains existing DVD markers that you no longer want, select Clear Existing DVD Markers.
5 Click OK.
If you do not like the placement of a DVD marker you can drag it in the time ruler to a different location. DVD
markers are not tied to the video. If you later edit the video, you may need to move the markers or regenerate them
so that they match the new edit points.
To move a DVD marker
❖ In the Timeline panel, drag the DVD marker you want to move to the desired location.
To edit a DVD marker name, type, or thumbnail
After you place a DVD marker, you can change its name, its type (scene, main menu, or stop), and the thumbnail
imagedisplayedinathumbnailbuttononamenu.Themarkernamesbecomethebuttonnamesinthemainmenu
or scenes submenu.
Note: After you select a template, you can also rename the buttons and change the thumbnails directly on the menu in
the DVD Layout panel.
1 In the Timeline panel, double-click the DVD marker you want to edit.
2 In the DVD Marker dialog box, change any of the options. For information on setting marker and button options,
see “To add a main menu marker or scene marker” on page 406.
