Video thumbnail button and corresponding button layers in Layers panel
Customize predesigned video thumbnail buttons
The easiest way to create a video thumbnail button is to drag a button from the Library panel into your menu and
then edit the button. (Many menus in the Library panel already include video thumbnail buttons.) These prede-
signed buttons are sized appropriately, contain a placeholder image with the appropriate layer name prefix (%), and
include predesigned button subpictures, which change the appearance of the button when selected and activated by
the viewer.
1
Open the menu to which you want to add video thumbnail buttons.
2
In the Library panel, click the Toggle Display Of Buttons icon
to display the predesigned buttons. Video
thumbnail buttons have the word “video” in their names.
3
Drag the desired video thumbnail button from the Library panel to the Menu Viewer. Repeat until you have placed
all the buttons you need.
4
To resize the video thumbnail buttons, select the button layer sets in the Layers panel (Shift-select to select more
than one). Then, using the Selection tool
, Shift-drag a corner selection handle of one of the buttons until they are
the desired size. (Using the Shift key while dragging resizes the buttons proportionally so that they maintain their
aspect ratio.)
5
Link each button to the appropriate item, such as a timeline or slide show. To rename the buttons with the names
of the linked items but leave the text in the buttons alone, deselect Sync Button Text And Name in the Properties
panel and select Set Name From Link. You can also use the Text tool to select and edit button text.
Create video thumbnail buttons in Photoshop

1

2
Choose Edit > Edit Menu In Photoshop, or click the Edit Menu In Photoshop tool
in the Tools panel.
Photoshop starts, displaying the selected menu.
3

layer group
) and add
(+)
to the beginning of its name. Include the parentheses.
4
Create a placeholder for the video thumbnail within this layer set. You can draw the placeholder or place a still
image.
