View the Autoplay Movie

Click Map to open the map view. Your current location is selected on the map.

If the entire map doesn't fit in the window, use the vertical scrollers to move through the map, or
press and hold the background of the map. The pointer turns into a hand, and you can drag it to
see other parts of the map. If you have a complex project, you might need to scroll to see all the
elements in your project.

The Kids Theater theme you selected earlier includes an autoplay movie that’s set to play when
the DVD is inserted, before the main menu appears. The autoplay movie is indicated by the
Autoplay icon on the project icon (the first icon on the left).

When you create your own DVD project, you can add your own autoplay movie or slideshow by
dragging a movie or photo album to the project icon.
