ENCORE CS3 41 User Guide You can save a step by importing content directly to a timeline, slide show, or menu. The content must be of the appropriate type to use these shortcuts. While you can import any supported file type as a timeline, you can import only still images as a slide show and only PSD files as a menu. For a list of supported file types, see "Supported file formats for import" on page 38. Import as an asset 1 Make sure that the Project panel is active, and choose File > Import As > Asset. 2 Navigate to the file or files that you want to import, select them, and click Open. You can also drag an asset from Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder into the Project panel. Import as a timeline When you import an asset as a timeline, Encore places both the asset and its timeline in the Project panel. The timeline also appears in the Timeline panel.

You can select multiple, discontiguous files by holding down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and clicking them. Import a PSD file as a menu Menus are an essential element in your project content because they provide the viewer with access to the content contained on the disc. You can customize the templates included with Encore, build menus within the program using your imported assets, or assemble your menus in Photoshop and import them into Encore. Encore interacts closely with Photoshop. If you follow a specific layer-naming convention for the menus you create in Photoshop, Encore recognizes those layers as specific menu elements, such as buttons and subpictures. (See "Layer name prefixes for menus" on page 98.) Also, because Encore creates all menus as PSD (Photoshop) files, you update your menus in Photoshop, directly from Encore. Photoshop files imported as menus appear both in the Project panel and in the Menus panel and, upon import, automatically open in the Menu Editor. 1 Choose File > Import As > Menu. 2 Navigate to the PSD file or files you want to import, select them, and click Open. When dragging the file from Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder to the Project tab, Encore imports a PSD file as a menu. However, when holding down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag the file, a PSD file is imported as a still image, and not as a menu.

User Guide

You can save a step by importing content directly to a timeline, slide show, or menu. The content must be of the
appropriate type to use these shortcuts. While you can import any supported file type as a timeline, you can import
only still images as a slide show and only PSD files as a menu.
For a list of supported file types, see “Supported file formats for import” on page 38.
Import as an asset
1
Make sure that the Project panel is active, and choose File > Import As > Asset.
2
Navigate to the file or files that you want to import, select them, and click Open.
You can also drag an asset from Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder into the Project panel.
Import as a timeline
When you import an asset as a timeline, Encore places both the asset and its timeline in the Project panel. The
timeline also appears in the Timeline panel. For more information, see “About timelines” on page 115.
1
Choose File > Import As > Timeline.
2
Navigate to the file you want to import, select it, and then click Open.
Import still images as a slide show
When you import image files as a slide show, Encore places both the images and the slide show in the Project panel.
The slide show also appears in the Slideshow panel, where you do a majority of slide show authoring. For more infor-
mation, see “About slide shows” on page 126.
1
Choose File > Import As > Slideshow.
2
Navigate to the image files you want to import, select them, and then click Open. You can select multiple, discon-
tiguous files by holding down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and clicking them.
Import a PSD file as a menu
Menus are an essential element in your project content because they provide the viewer with access to the content
contained on the disc. You can customize the templates included with Encore, build menus within the program using
your imported assets, or assemble your menus in Photoshop and import them into Encore.
Encore interacts closely with Photoshop. If you follow a specific layer-naming convention for the menus you create
in Photoshop, Encore recognizes those layers as specific menu elements, such as buttons and subpictures. (See “Layer
name prefixes for menus” on page 98.) Also, because Encore creates all menus as PSD (Photoshop) files, you update
your menus in Photoshop, directly from Encore. Photoshop files imported as menus appear both in the Project panel
and in the Menus panel and, upon import, automatically open in the Menu Editor.
1
Choose File > Import As > Menu.
2
Navigate to the PSD file or files you want to import, select them, and click Open.
When dragging the file from Windows Explorer or the Mac OS Finder to the Project tab, Encore imports a PSD file
as a menu. However, when holding down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag the file, a PSD file is
imported as a still image, and not as a menu.
