Creating a Project
This chapter guides you through creating a new project with DVDit!, including:
• What is a project?
• Creating the First Play
• Working with movies — creating movies, adding sound, adding chapter points,
and playing the movie
• Working with menus — creating menus, adding sound and buttons, linking
movies and menus to buttons, changing colors, and other effects
• Previewing the DVD Video presentation
• Working with widescreen (16:9 anamorphic) projects (PE only)
Before you begin a project, it helps to think about how you want the final output
to look and feel — what you want the viewers to see when they put the DVD disc
into the player, how you want them to navigate through the presentation, and so
on. This planning is useful when it comes to designing and creating buttons and
menus.
