Importing Files into Themes 27

Moving Files into DVDit!

To import real ﬁles into DVDit! instead of creating shortcuts, you must move ﬁles

into special folders within DVDit!

When you create a new theme, DVDit! creates a folder in Windows labeled with

the theme name. Within that folder, DVDit! creates three subfolders — labeled

Backgrounds, Buttons, and Media — where it stores the shortcut links to ﬁles. The

diagram below shows the folder structure as it appears in Windows Explorer:

So, when you open the Default theme and click the

Backgrounds button in the

Palette window, DVDit! looks in the folder labeled Default, opens the

Backgrounds subfolder, and displays thumbnails for all the ﬁles in that folder.

To import a real ﬁle into DVDit!, move the ﬁle into one of the subfolders in a

particular theme. Put video, audio and stills in the Media folder, button graphics

in the Buttons folder, and menu background images in the Backgrounds folder.

This folder contains the
