Adding disc menus (legacy Author tab)
The disc menus section of the Library contains a collection of menus for a variety of occasions
and in a spectrum of visual styles. Each menu comprises a background picture, a text title,
and a set of navigation buttons appropriate to the menu’s purpose.
To add a disc menu to your production, in the Library, choose the Disc Menus category, and
drag a menu to the Menu List. To edit the actions assigned to the menu’s buttons, you can
use the authoring tools provided on the timeline in conjunction with the Player, or get some
automated help from the Chapter Wizard. To modify the appearance of a menu (or create
one from scratch) you will use the Menu Editor.
Menu types
Each menu design in the Library has two variations: main and multipage.
Main menu: In most productions, the first menu seen by the viewer is of this type. Main
menus usually contain buttons with the default captions Play Movie and Scene Selection; you
can change these if you like. Although the buttons’ link targets are also up to you, it helps
your audience if you stick to convention. For instance, the Play Movie button is normally
configured to start playing back your movie from the beginning, and Scene Selection
typically switches to a subsidiary menu, one with links to the ‘chapters’ of your movie.
Multipage menu: A scene selection menu often needs to provide more of these chapter
buttons than will fit on a single screen. To solve this problem, Pinnacle Studio supports
multipage menus, which have additional buttons just for navigation between menus. The
behavior of these buttons is built in. A pair of next and previous buttons lets the view move
between pages within the same menu; while a home button causes a transfer to the project’s
first menu.
Tip: To display the main menus side-by-side with their matching multi-page menus in
the Library, right-click in the gray area next to a menu and choose Sort by > Name.
Menu buttons
The number of chapter buttons per page varies from one menu design to another, so one
criterion for selecting a menu is the number of clips you want it to handle. But if you want a
different number of buttons on a particular menu, you can add or delete buttons in the Menu
Editor, which is launched by clicking the Edit button on the Player. See “The Menu Editor
(legacy Author tab)” on page 205 for details.
Menus with fewer buttons usually have more space for captions; those with many buttons
will have to settle for abbreviated captions or none at all. Whether you need captions, and if
