between chapter 1 and chapter 2. The second chapter now becomes chapter
3 and moves to the next menu page.
Normal text behavior: The second entry (now with preview image for the newly
inserted chapter) receives the new title "the trip". The next menu page features
chapter 3 as the first entry with the name "the trip".
Text after external menu editing: The second entry will feature the title "arrival"
(as a bitmap, as a component of the button), but the preview image will feature
the new chapter "the trip"! The next menu page now features the preview
image for chapter 3 (formerly chapter 2, "arrival"), this is now called "travel
preparations"! The name is a component of the button as a bitmap for the first
menu entry on the page, and this is "travel preparations" on the first menu
page. Completely out of order!
If the number of menu entries displayed is increased, this results from copying
the layer groups in the PSD (see below). Of course, the rendered text layers
are also copied into the layer groups, which results in incorrect text again.
The best way to proceed is to edit the text entries at the very end, since
changes normally will not follow at this point. If changes are required
nevertheless, then proceed as follows:
1. Restore the "correct" chapters or movie names by resetting the font size in
the dialog "Menu entry properties" to the default value. Two texts will be
displayed; the incorrect bitmap and the correct one.
Export the menu template as a PSD. 2.
3. Delete the incorrect bitmap object in t he corresponding layer and re-import
the PSD.
ourse, the Of c menu text may also be added from the start via an external
graphics editing program only (in order to take advantage of the additional
options provided in this case). Delete the corresponding bitmap objects in the
PSD immediately after export and replace these with your own text objects.
Structure of a PSD file
MAGIX Video Pro X4 produces a PSD file during export that contains a layer for
each object of the menu entry. This uses a naming scheme that enables
assignment of the objects in the file to their contents. Individual layers feature
mathematical signs that indicate their function. This naming scheme is similar
to that featured in Adobe Premiere and which is only expanded occasionally in
MAGIX Video Pro X4 to describe additional mechanisms.)
