Note: If dotted lines appear on the menu when you drag your movie to it, move the
pointer until the dotted lines disappear, and then drop the movie. Dotted lines indicate
a drop zone, an area of a menu to which you can add video clips and photos. Video
clips added to a drop zone become part of the menu background rather than featured
movies on the DVD.
If you haven’t saved changes to your project, you can delete a movie you’ve added by
choosing Edit > Undo Add Movie. If you’ve already saved your project, click the button
that links to the movie you want to remove, and then choose Edit > Cut.
It’s possible within iDVD to create a scene selection menu, like commercial DVDs have,
that allows viewers to access specific scenes in your movie. You must first create
chapter markers for your movie, which automatically generates a scene selection menu.
To learn more, search for “chapter markers” in iDVD Help.
Editing the Menu Title
When you create a new project in iDVD, the main menu of your project has a default
title that matches the name of the menu theme. It’s easy to change the title of your
iDVD project.
To change the title text:
1 Double-click the title, which highlights the text. An in-place editor, shown below,
appears below the title.
2 Type “Vacations” in its place.
3 If you want, use the controls in the in-place editor to change the typeface, style, and
size of the title text.
You’ll learn more about modifying onscreen text in “Step 7: Add Menu Text and
Change Its Appearance” on page 20.
