Using the Template Editor

If you use the DVD wizard to add a menu to your Timeline, you probably want to alter the text on the background and around the buttons. You may also want to replace the buttons themselves and the background. All of this is possible using the Template Editor.

If you experimented with Title Deko in Chapter 10, you'll recognize that the Template Editor works in a similar fashion but with a slightly different, perhaps cleaner interface. The basics of highlighting text to change its font or point size are the same, and the way you use color and shadow follows a similar principle.

  • To use the Template Editor you must have a DVD menu on the Timeline.
