Menu templates
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an array of preset menu templates. A tree structure is located on
the left-hand side for you to choose the type of menu template.

Animated (DVD): These templates contain background and introductory videos as well as
music. The DVD menu tools are displayed in various modes (selected buttons, for example). The
templates can only be used for mini DVDs and DVDs. If you burn a VCD or SVCD, then still
pictures and normal tools will be shown. Music can also be used.

Static (DVD, VCD, SVCD): Here you will find templates suitable for use with DVDs, VCDs
and SVCDs. They consist of normal background pictures and tools

Unique: These templates adjust to your disc project; the photos you use are integrated directly
into the menu. Every menu is unique and matches the project in its own way.

TV ShowTime DVD: Use these templates (suitable for miniDVDs and WMV HD) to show
your pictures, not as small preview pictures in the slideshow menu, but rather as a full-size
preview photo on every menu page.

This way you can use the "Skip" keys of the remote control to present the photos like a
slideshow - with the option of being able to start the slideshow at any time from the current photo
onwards.
Note:
For these menus you have to leave the modes "slideshow and photo menus" activated!

HD DVD, WMV HD, miniHD-DVD: These templates contain super-sharp, high-resolution
background images that are particularly noticeable on HD TV devices.
Note:
This function is only available in MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe deluxe!
If you selected a specific type of menu template, you can use the horizontal scroll bar to view all the
templates. There are several possibilities 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.

You can also combine the various elements of the individual templates. If, for example, you wish
to combine the text format of a template with another background, select "Text" and double click
on the template with the desired text. The preview in the middle shows you the results
immediately.
You can load the template (or individual template elements) for the current menu (slideshow or photo) as
well as for all menus.
Click on this button to load the current
selection for the entire disc menu.
Clicking on the small arrow next to the button opens a menu containing additional options for applying the
current selection to the disc menu or current menu page.
