viii The Big Picture
• Support for digital linear tape (DLT). You can create master tapes for mass
replication of DVDs.
• Projects can have up to 99 menus.
Video Monitor
• Movies. A movie is a combination of a video clip or still image, an optional
audio clip, and instructions that tell the DVD player what to do when the
movie finishes or the viewer presses the remote control buttons.
• Chapter points. You can now add chapter points to a movie and link those
chapter points to menu buttons. Viewers can jump from chapter to chapter
using the remote control.
• Menu/movie list. Movies and menus are listed in the same area, down the right
side of the video monitor. Switch between the list of menus and the list of
movies in the current project with a simple button click.
• Button thumbnail control. When you create a button by dragging a movie,
chapter point, or video clip onto menu background, DVDit! creates the button
using a frame from the video. Now you can choose which frame is used.
• Timeline. This lets you play back movies, and add and edit chapter points.
• New first play. The first play is now an alias of a menu or movie, which means
you can delete or replace the first play without deleting the menu or movie it
references. The first play is also separate from the list of menus/movies, in its
own dock at the top right corner of the video monitor.
• Nudge control. Move selected menu items using the keyboard keys, for finer
control when laying out buttons and text.
• Save color, drop shadow and text settings, and reapply them to other menu
objects and other menus.
