Creating a menu using still assets from the project
You can include still images in a menu, either as part of the background or as a button. Adobe Encore DVD lets you convert an object to a button.
To create a menu using an asset: - Choose Menu > New Menu or click the New Menu button
at the bottom of the Project tab. Adobe Encore DVD creates a new menu based on the default menu specified in the Library palette (initially set to a blank menu). It displays the new menu in the Menu Editor window and names it using the name of the default menu. - Click the Project tab to activate it (or choose Window > Project).
- In the Project tab, drag the desired image to the Menu Editor window.
Note: You can also drag an image from Microsoft Windows Explorer directly to the menu. - Position and size the image as necessary. (See Manipulating menu objects.)
To convert an object to a button: - Open the menu you want to modify.
- In the Menu Editor window, select the object or objects you want to convert to a button.
- Choose Object > Convert to Button (or click the Button column next to the image layer in the Layers palette). Adobe Encore DVD creates a layer set with the prefix denoting a button set (+) attached to the name. It places the object into the layer set. (To create a subpicture for the button, see Creating subpictures and color sets.)
