Creating disc menus

Scene markers map directly to buttons on scenes menu.
Stop markers
Stop markers designate the end of a movie. When the disc player reaches a stop marker, it returns to the main menu.
If you add a stop marker to the Timeline, a disc player doesn’t play the movie from start to finish. Therefore, you
generally add stop markers only if you’ve divided your video into separate movies, and don’t need to play the clips in
the Timeline from beginning to end.
You add stop markers manually. Use stop markers to indicate the end of each movie that you want listed on the main
menu of your disc. Whenever a stop marker is reached, the movie stops and returns to the main menu.
Add scene markers automatically
The Generate Menu Markers command places scene markers for you. Sometimes you can save time if you let
Adobe Premiere Elements initially place scene markers, which you can clean up later as necessary. You get the best
results when each scene in your movie is a separate clip, and all the clips you want marked are on the Video 1 track. If
your movie consists of multiple clips that overlay each other, you might prefer to place scene markers manually or
place them at set intervals.
Automatically placed scene markers do not have names, so the buttons on the scene menu remain as named in the
template. To customize the buttons, you can either name the markers after they are placed or rename the buttons after
you select the template.
