The Playlist window
The Playlist window displays a tree view outline of the video layout of your Blu-ray Disc™.
The Playlist tree defines the structure of the audio/video assets on your disc, as well as several setup items.
The Playlist tree is a series of nested trees. Click the small arrows to the left of the icons to expand a node to
see the nested elements. Right-click elements in the tree to add or remove items. To select an item to edit its
properties, click the item in the Playlist tree to display the item's editable properties in the Control Panel.
The audio/video assets are contained in the Audio Video Segments, Playlists, and Blu-ray Disc Titles nodes.
When you start a new project, the Playlist tree contains one empty 2D audio/video segment and the
DoStudio BD-J Menu title.
The Disc Information node contains setup information for your disc. For more information, see "Disc
Information" on page 33.
The Menu Elements window
The Menu Elements window displays the menu blocks, sets, and buttons in your project. You can expand or
collapse each element, or click the Expand All and Collapse All buttons.
DoStudio Authoring is optimized for importing your menu elements from a layered PSD file. You can
add, edit, and delete individual menu items using the Menu Elements window in DoStudio Authoring,
but you will usually find that it is most efficient to create and edit your menu elements in a program
such as Adobe Photoshop and then import the PSD file into DoStudio Authoring. For more
information, see "Importing menu graphics in Mosaic" on page 77.
