The Outline tab provides an or-
gainized list of all project elements. Each
element is grouped by type, such as Menus
or Tracks, in sections that function a bit
like folders. Next to each section name
is a triangle that expands or collapses the
folder.
Like in the graphical tab, the outline tab
allows you to rearrange the elements.
Simply drag and drop the elements of your
project into whatever order you wish. You
can also rename elements by selecting
the element and then either clicking on its
name or pressing Return. Then type in
the desired name and press Return to save
the changes. You can also delete elements
from this menu by selecting an element
and then pressing Delete. Finally, to
duplicate an element, select the element,
and then either right-click (ctrl-click) and
select Duplicate or use the shortcut ⌘D.

The Inspector is a window that
displays the properties of the elemtent
you are currently working with. In some
cases, it contains multiple tabs, with the
properties grouped by type and function.
The Inspector window is the
central hub of information for your DVD
project. While the arranging of the DVD
might be performed in the Menu editor,
the real work is completed within the
Inspector. This is where elements are con-
nected to other elements, menus are given
their background and motion duration
times, tracks are given their end jumps,
etc. Because of the vast nature of ele-
ments that can be manipulated in DVDSP,
it would be impossible to list all the differ-
entcongurationsoftheInspectorwin-
dow. So instead, its uses will be explained
as needed. For information on the more
advanced features of the Inspector, see the
DVDSP User Guide by selecting Help>
DVD Studio Pro User Guide
from the program menu.
