If youвЂ™ve customized the DVDвЂ™s main menu and want to apply its design to submenus in the same project, choose Advanced: Apply Theme To Submenus. Use the Menu pane to customize the textвЂ™s formatting. Double-click on the new submenu button to access the screen, and then add your text. To create an entire screen of text-for example, to offer some background on the places you visited-choose Project: Add Submenu. Later, if you find a typo, double-click on the text box and use your arrow keys to navigate the text passage. For long passages of text, youвЂ™ll need to press the return key at the end of each line-iDVD wonвЂ™t wrap text automatically. For example, you might create a tagline, such as вЂњSights and Sounds of Paris,вЂќ to go with your vacation movie.

From here, you can select a new button shape, such as a stamp, a frame, or a filmstrip change the buttonвЂ™s size or adjust the font and color of the buttonвЂ™s label. To perform the same makeover magic on your DVD, open the Buttons pane. In the pop-up menu that appears, choose Replace Background And Drop Zones.ДЄs any clothes lover will tell you, an easy way to perk up a shirt is to replace its buttons. If the menu includes drop zones (the animated areas that display photos or movies), you can remove those as well, by holding down the Command key while dragging your photo onto the background. To replace a background, simply drag a photo or movie from the Media Browser into the menu area. You can use your own photo or movie as the background of a menu screen. But there are some easy ways to add a little personal flair to your DVDs: IDVD comes with a stock of slick and visually impressive menu designs. Since the text will also be used as a menu button, limit the new name to just a few words. To rename your chapter markers, switch to the Chapters pane in iMovie and then double-click on a chapterвЂ™s name to select it (see вЂњFrom Markers to MenuвЂќ). Later, when you create your disc, iDVD will use these marker names to create menu buttons for each chapter. To give viewers a better sense of what theyвЂ™ll find at that marker, give it a more useful name, such as Arrival in Paris or Cutting the Cake. That means youвЂ™ll end up with a lot of meaningless chapter names, such as Clip 02. IMovie names each chapter marker after the clip it appears in. You can also create chapters while watching the movie: simply press Command-shift-M whenever playback reaches a point where youвЂ™d like a marker. A yellow diamond will appear in the timeline. Position the playhead at the point where you want the next chapter to begin and then select Markers: Add Chapter Marker. Open your video in iMovie HD and switch to the Timeline Viewer.
