Using menu templates to create menus

The fastest way to create menus is to use the templates that are provided with DVDit Pro. A menu template is a complete menu design, including background, buttons, text blocks, and optional audio track. It also includes attributes such as drop shadow settings.

To create a menu using a template:

  • Click the Templates tab in the Palette window.

  • Drag a template onto the “Drag media here to create menu” icon in the Project window’s Menus group.

DVDit Pro builds the menu on the Preview window’s Menu tab. Every element in this menu can be edited as described in Using individual elements to create menus.

To replace an existing menu with a template:

  • Click the Templates tab in the Palette window.

  • Do one of the following:
  • Drag a template onto the menu’s icon in the Project window.

  • Drag a template onto the menu displayed on the Preview window’s Menu tab.

Replacing a menu with a template completely erases the original menu, including any button links to other content.
