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.
2. Export the menu template as a PSD.
3. Delete the incorrect bitmap object in the corresponding layer and re-import
the PSD.
Of course, the 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 X5 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 X5 to
describe additional mechanisms.)
This is how these mathematical characters are used:
Characters for layer groups
(+-) or (+) Play button/start film
(++) Chapter menu button
(+>) Next page
(+<) Previous page
(+^) Root menu button (jump back from chapter menu)
(+*) Menu title:
(^^) Layer group is ignored
