Edit disc menu 219
Edit your own menu entries
Note: This function is available only in the deluxe version.
There is another view in this dialog to edit menu entries you have created. Menu links
can be edited here. This makes it possible to link a menu entry with a certain action,
menu page, or a certain position in the movie.
No link: The menu element cannot be selected and has no function other than to
display menu text.
Link to page in current menu: Jumps to a menu page in the current movie or chapter
menu in the current film.
Link to another menu: Opens another movie or chapter menu.
Link to chapter in a movie: If this option is selected, enter a film and chapter marker
where playback should start.
Note: For DVDs, only chapters within the current movie may be jumped to.
Link to film start: The movie will play back from the start.
Edit DVD menus with Xara Designer Pro or
Photoshop
Besides the option of editing the menu template directly in the preview (view page
213), menu templates may also be exported as a Photoshop fil
e (*.psd) and edited in
an external graphics program. There you have complete control of menu appearance,
including complex text effects and highlighted state management.
Export menu
The transfer of the menu templates to the graphics program takes place in one of two
ways:
If a complex, longer edit is required or if you have created a menu without a
template, then use the PSD import/export (view page 213) function in the
menu ed
iting functions.
Next, open the PSD file in the graphics program of your choice.
