Chapter 7: The Title Editor 113
As usual, a folder button lets you select the disk
directory from the displayed images are obtained.
To use a supplied button, simply drag it from the
Album into the Edit Window, where it becomes a
button object –essentially an identical twin of the
picture object.
The default action of the supplied
buttons is determined by their file
names, but a new action can be
assigned to the currently-selected
button object from the dropdown
list in the Buttons section of the Title Editor Album.
The first choice on this list, “Not a button”, removes
the action from the object – now it is merely a graphic.
The other choices correspond to the button types listed
above. Remember, it’s not what a button looks like that
determines its behaviour, but the button type that has
been assigned to it.
In fact, you can make a button of any non-group object
– whether text, rectangle, ellipse, picture or button –
just by selecting it in the Edit Window and choosing a
new button type from the dropdown list.
Would you like to make a button that says “Grandma”
and link it to the video of Grandma’s birthday party?
Just create a text object, make it as fancy as you like
with text stylings and the Looks Browser, and assign it
the normal button action. Back in the Clip properties
tool, link the new button to the chosen video clip and
the job is done.
