Chapter 7: The Title Editor 111
Normally, though, you’ll use a transparent background
for titles, and transparency is the default background
selection for a new title or menu.
The final option for backgrounds is picture – an image
file in any standard format. As with many of the
sections of Studio’s main Album, the backgrounds are
drawn from a source folder that may be changed using
the folder button. The image file you select with the
folder button becomes the new background, and the
image files in the folder are displayed as thumbnails on
the Album panel. If necessary, the Title Editor stretches
the background image until it fills the width or height
of screen but does not change its proportions.
The Pictures section
As with the background pictures just discussed,
the images in the Pictures section of the Title Editor
Album can be of any standard type. Instead of being
stretched to fill the Edit Window, however, these
pictures are added to the title as picture objects and
displayed at normal size with eight control points that
allow it to be repositioned and resized (though not
rotated or skewed).
Picture objects behave just like text objects and the two
types of graphic object with respect to grouping,
alignment and similar controls.
The Buttons section
Since buttons are the magic ingredient that turns
titles into interactive menus, this section of the Title
Editor Album is mainly of interest for DVD, VCD and
S-VCD authoring.
