New is the Button section on top, and the Button settings on the right.

If you want to know how to use these, watch the related video in this guide. The way to edit a Menu is identical as seen with the Title clips, with the Text, Look, Background and Stereoscopic settings. To fully edit a Menu, simply double-click on it. If you want to add another group of chapters, you have to create the buttons for Prev and Next, not available by default. Remember that you can delete the links done right-clicking on them. You can adjust the position of the chapter links anytime, in case they are not placed good, checking the Menus shown in the Preview. Notice also that the return links are created auto and placed at the end of a clip connected to the related menu. Chapter links that work in Menu 2 assume the same color of such menu, and so on.
Notice how the color of the chapter links is different. You can do the same with the other button. Once you do it, the chapter link will be called C1, as referred in Menu 2. Select the button interested then select the dialog box icon that is placed correctly and finally click on the third icon below the Preview. Then we can go on connecting the buttons with the chapters. You can drag it to place it in the correct instant of time.
In this case create chapter links, double-clicking on the row used for the links. So you can't use the fast list as before. In this case, we should link these not with a Menu, but with a starting point in the video project. By default, this template has two buttons only, counting the red icons. In this way you can add links to a determined menu, in our case Menu 2. Next to the red icon, click on the grey arrow. At the Scene Selection button we should link Menu 2, that lists the first group of chapters.

The Play Movie button is already set, since the C1 link is placed exactly at the beginning of the video project. A new window appears, making you realize if all all the chapter and menu links set are working correctly. If the Menu mode is on, you will be able to see all the functions and the buttons inside, unless the C1 button below is unchecked. In this mode, the Preview has the Menu mode. To see how this works, you need to play and interact with your Menus. This means that, if you overcome the position of such M1 icon, the player will come back showing Menu 1. The other Menu link M1 is a reversed arrow, used to come back to Menu 1, that gives the name to the button. So if Menu 1 has C1 on a button, and if you click on that button you will play the project from the instant indicated by the C1 dialog box, in this case the beginning of the project. The dialog box icons, like C1, are chapter links, which connect a menu's button to an instant of the video project below to play it from. A red icon may appear in a corner, indicating that the menus are linked with none, so they are not reachable or usable. Drag all of them in the bigger track on top. So, let's suppose to create an introduction Menu, and two other menus. The links are represented as small icons between the Menu track and the A/V Tracks more at the bottom. Your project works with these menus, fully customizable, that admit buttons that lets you jump to different parts of your project, which is described through the A/V Tracks more at the bottom. To add them, simply click and drag them on the bigger track on top. Each menu has two clips: one used as introduction, and the other one to select what to see. Pinnacle Studio gives you different Menu templates. So that, if you click on them, you can move through the menus and choose to see what you like most. Disc Menus are clips on their own, that can accept inside interactive objects called buttons. You can add them going to Navigation and then to Disc Menus, under Content. A bigger track appears on top of the other standard tracks, accepting just DVD Menus. To make things easier, keep on the third button on the left, fixed on DVDMenu. You can add different menus and chapters. With the Author mode, you can build a DVD interactive menu, that acts depending on what you click on the screen. Or, if you already have a project ready, you can switch from the Edit mode to the Author mode to import all. You can create a project there in the same way as seen with the Edit mode, adding new tracks and working on your clips. The workspace is more or less the same, with the Navigation panel on the left, the Preview on the right, and the same kind of timeline with its tracks. The Author mode is used to create CDs and DVDs with your project, instead of exporting it as a video file in your computer. Leave us feedbacks to correct and improve us! To follow this tutorial you may need to know how to edit Text and Titles. Hi! Let's discover how to use the Author mode in Pinnacle Studio 17.
