The Tool Bar

When ReelDVD is first launched, the main Tool Bar is found just below the menu bar and above the Storyboard area. Click and drag on the tab at the left of the bar to detach it, making it a floating window.

Tool Bar

The buttons on the Tool Bar (described left to right) provide quick access to a number of often-used functions:

New Project  Creates a new, blank project. (Prompts to save current project if necessary.)

Open Project  Brings up the Open dialog, allowing you to find and open an existing ReelDVD project.

Save Project  Saves the current project. If the project has not previously been saved, the Save As dialog will appear, allowing you to save the current project under a new file name. The default file type is Storyboard (.stb), which creates a new file that becomes the active project in ReelDVD.

Print  Brings up the Print dialog, allowing you to print the Storyboard view of the current project. Parameters include printer, print range and number of copies.

Clear  Clears the currently selected objects.

Show Previous Link  Toggles on and off the display of the red arrows indicating Previous links in the Storyboard area.

Show Next Link  Toggles on and off the display of the blue arrows indicating Next links in the Storyboard area.

Show Return Link  Toggles on and off the display of the green arrows indicating Return links in the Storyboard area.

Show Button Link  Toggles on and off the display of the yellow arrows indicating Button links in the Storyboard area.

Zoom In/Out  Toggles between a large and small view of the Storyboard area.

Explorer Window  Toggles on and off the display of the Explorer window.

Track Window  Toggles on and off the display of the Track window.

Preview Window  Toggles on and off the display of the Preview window.

Make Disc  Brings up the Make Disc dialog, allowing you to set up and execute the writing of a disc image for the current project, and to record that image to tape or disc. See Make Disc Dialog for more information.

The functions of the New, Open, Save, Print, Clear, Zoom In/Out, Explorer window, Track window, Preview window, and Make Disc buttons on the Tool Bar can also be accessed via ReelDVD’s menus (see Menus and Dialogs).
