Edit menu text and buttons
After you select the template, you can change menu text or the appearance of any of the main menu or scene buttons. You can also delete any
button. Because the buttons are linked to the markers, deleting a button deletes the marker that generated it.
1. At the bottom of the Disc Layout panel, click the thumbnail of the menu you want to change.
2. To edit text or buttons not connected to markers, double-click the menu title or button and edit the text in the Change Text dialog box. To
use multiple lines, press Ctrl+Enter for each new line. Click OK.
3. To edit buttons connected to markers, double-click the text or button, do any of the following in the Menu Marker dialog box, and then
click OK:
To rename the marker (and the button in the menu), type a new name and click OK. To use multiple lines, press Ctrl+Enter for each
new line. Keep the name short so that it fits in the menu and doesn’t overlap another button.
To select the image you want displayed in the button thumbnail in the menu, drag the Thumbnail Offset timecode, and click OK. (This
thumbnail is for the menu display only. If you select the Motion Menu Button option, the video linked to the button starts at the marker
location.)
To delete a button, click Delete. The marker is deleted from the Expert view timeline and the button from the menu. Alternatively, you
can right-click/ctrl-click the button’s marker in the Timeline, and choose Clear Menu Marker.
Specify text settings
You can change text properties for menu titles and buttons, including font, size, style, and color.
1. At the bottom of the Disc Layout panel, click the thumbnail of the menu you want to change.
2. Select a menu title or button text.
3. Do any of the following in the Properties panel:
Choose a font from the Change Text Font menu. (You may have to select the triangle next to Text to see the text attribute options.)
Choose a text style from the Change Font Style menu, or click the Bold, Italic, or Underline icons. You can click more than one icon.
Choose a text size from the Change Text Size menu.
Click the Change Text Color icon next to the Change Text Size menu and choose a color from the Adobe Color Picker.
