Templates
Below the preview monitor and the editing elements you will find templates for DVD menus
and layouts.
To the left you will find a tree structure that makes it easier to select the template type. Now
you can select using two buttons in the tree structure, whether you want to select
templates in the "16:9" or the "4:3" (default) format. Every menu template is high resolution.
Under "4:3" the following are available:
•
Animated DVD: These templates contain background and introductory videos as well as
music. The control elements are displayed in various states. The templates can only be
used for mini DVDs and DVDs. If you burn a VCD or SVCD, still pictures and control
elements will be shown, but music will not be audible.
•
Static (DVD, VCD, SVCD): Here you will find templates equally suitable for use with
DVDs and SVCDs. They consist of normal background pictures and tools
•
Unique: These templates adjust to your disc project, i.e. the videos and scenes you use
are integrated directly into the menu.
•
TV showtime DVD: With these templates your pictures will not be displayed in the movie
menu as small preview pictures, but rather as fullscreen preview pictures for every menu
page. With the “Skip” button on your remote control you can present the chapters with
the help of the preview pictures, like in a slideshow – with the option of being able to
start the movie at any time from the current preview picture. These templates are
intended for DVDs.
Note: For these menus the "Movie and chapter menu" mode in the menu design must
remain active.
• HD (DVD, WMV HD): These templates contain super-sharp, high-res background
images that are particularly noticeable on HD TV devices.
Under 16:9 additionally:
•
HD animated (DVD, WMV, HD, mini HD DVD): These templates contain super-sharp,
high-res background images that are particularly noticeable on HD TV devices and are
additionally animated.
If you selected a specific type of menu template, you can use the horizontal scroll bar to
view all the templates. There are lots of options when using the templates:
• If you wish to apply a template to all menu pages, click on "
Complete" in the template
bar and double-click on the template of your choice. The complete template will then be
applied.
