ENCORE CS3 60 User Guide The Adobe predesigned menus and buttons include subpictures. You can let Encore create subpictures for you by using the Create Subpicture command or the Convert To Button command. You can design your own subpictures in Adobe Photoshop. (See "About creating menus in Photoshop" on page 97.) See also "About button subpictures" on page 102 Menu Viewer overview The Menu Viewer provides a canvas for creating and modifying a menu. You can place, move, resize, flip, rotate, or delete buttons, and you can add text. When creating and editing a menu in the Menu Viewer, you frequently use other panels. For example, you can use the Project panel to drag and drop video clips, audio clips, and images onto a menu. You can use the Library panel to add content, including predesigned templates and buttons, to your menu. You use the Layers panel to view, navigate, and edit the layer structure of a menu. Use the Properties panel to change motion and navigation options for either menus or menu buttons. You can display the Menu Viewer on an attached DV device (IEEE 1394). In the Audio/Video Out panel of the Preferences dialog box, select the Show Menu Editor On DV Hardware option. A B C Menu Viewer A. Selected object B. Show Safe Area C. Subpicture display buttons The Menu Viewer contains the following controls: Zoom Level Controls the magnification of the menu. Choose a preset zoom level, or type a value from 25% to 1600% and press Enter. You can also choose Fit to view the entire menu, even if you resize the Menu Viewer. Note: You can also press the + (plus) key to zoom in and the - (minus) key to zoom out. For more keyboard shortcuts, see"Using keyboard shortcuts" on page 181 . Correct Menu Pixels For TV Display Toggles between displaying the menu as it will appear on a television monitor (default setting) and displaying the menu's true dimensions and uncorrected pixel aspect ratio (if different from the project frame size). Show Safe Area Displays guides that mark the action safe areas and title safe areas. Television monitors reduce the visible area of footage and menus. You should keep important visual elements within the outer guide, and keep text and buttons within the inner guide. (The actual amount that is clipped varies from monitor to monitor.)
