Chapter 7: The Title Editor 99
screen title or menu, or vice versa, just drag it onto the
other Timeline track. If you find yourself creating a
title when you wanted a disc menu, you can easily
switch over in the Title Editor.
THE TITLE EDITOR CONTROLS
The main Title Editor controls are laid out in groups
around the Edit Window (see the picture on page 97).
Title-type buttons
The four buttons in this group sit
on the left side of the screen above
the Title Editor’s Edit Window. Only one of them can
be selected at a time. Choose the first button if you are
creating a still title. The second creates a roll, in which
the title text and graphics travel upwards on the screen
as the title displays, like the credits at the end of a
move. The third creates a crawl, in which the title is
displayed a single line of text moving from right to left
across the screen like the bulletins on a TV news show.
The fourth button in the group is for creating disc
menus, which you can usefully think of as “titles with
buttons”. In fact, a menu is just like any other title
except for two attributes:
• A menu has at least one button. A title has none.
Adding a button to a title turns it into a menu, and
deleting the last button on a menu turns it into a title.
By the same token, if you click the Menu button
while editing a title, Studio automatically adds a
button to the title.
• A menu cannot have rolling or crawling text. The
Title Editor does not allow you to add menu buttons
to a rolled or crawled title.
