you can expand your project by adding

00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:09,109
additional menus and other features.
5
00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:11,077
Adding extra menus is easy
6
00:00:11,077 --> 00:00:14,414
just make sure your main project
menu is open in the viewer
7
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:18,551
and choose "Add Submenu"
from the add (+) pop-up menu.
8
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:21,221
A new button is created with the default name
9
00:00:21,221 --> 00:00:22,856
"My Submenu".
10
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,391
Click the button to rename it
11
00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:28,194
and adjust the text formatting as desired.

Double-click the button and a new
menu is opened in the viewer.
13

choose the menu that best
matches your purpose.
15
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:47,981
You can then add movies
and slideshows to your menu
16
00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:50,650
just as you would to the main menu.
17
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:53,820
When you're done return to the main menu
18
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,989
by clicking the return button.
19
00:00:57,857 --> 00:01:00,994
In iDVD you can replace the basic text buttons
20
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:03,329
with images and animation.
21
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:06,266
Select the button that's a link
to a movie or slideshow
22
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:08,768
then open the "Buttons" pane,
23
00:01:08,768 --> 00:01:10,537
from the pop-up menu at the top
24
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:16,109
choose from "Frames", "Artistic"
"Rectangle" or "Rounded"
25
00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:19,779
than make a selection in the pain below.
26
00:01:20,947 --> 00:01:22,816
Click the start/stop motion button
27
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:25,351
and the video or slideshows
that the button is linked to
28
00:01:25,351 --> 00:01:29,289
will now play inside the button frame.
29
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:33,660
For slideshows, click on the
selected button to edit it.
30
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:35,929
Then drag the thumbnail slider to choose
31
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:38,164
the specific photo from a slideshow
32
00:01:38,164 --> 00:01:39,799
that you want to appear on the button.
33
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:43,269
For movies you can drag the movie slider
34
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:46,840
to choose where you want the button's
movie to begin playing.
35
00:01:46,873 --> 00:01:51,311
To freeze that frame, select "Still Image".
36
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:53,480
Now when you start the motion preview
37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,381
you'll see a single image representing
38
00:01:55,381 --> 00:01:58,151
the movie linked from that button.
