Main Window
A DVD menu: This is where you see the DVD menu you are creating as you build it. Drag movies,
pictures, and audio files into this area to create buttons that play your movies and slideshows, or
change the look and sound of the background.
B Drop zone: Some themes include special areas called drop zones where you can place still
pictures or a short movie that plays as part of the DVD menu background. Placing images in the
drop zone gives visual interest to the menu. Double-click the drop zone to open the drop zone
editor, where you can set the order of images and short movies that play in the drop zone.
C Customize: Click this button to open the Customize drawer. The Customize drawer contains all of
the tools you need to customize your DVD menu. See “Customize Drawer” on page 9 for details.
D Folder: Click to create a submenu button on the current DVD menu. A submenu is an additional
menu where you can put more slideshows and movies on the same DVD.
E Scrubber bar and motion playhead: Drag the playhead along the scrubber bar to move slowly
through a motion menu. For themes with dynamic drop zones (drop zones that move), the
playhead allows you to stop their motion so you can drag movies or photos into them.
F Slideshow: Click to add a slideshow button to your menu. Double-click the slideshow button to
add and arrange photos in your slideshow.
G Motion: Click to turn the motion and sound on or off while you work. This makes it easier to
work on motion menus.

easily through your iDVD project and is shown in more detail on page 16.
