The “ right” button is set to 2, which means that whenever you click the navigation button on your remote control to the right it will go to thumbnail #2. We have 4 buttons arranged in circular order, those buttons are arranged in the same positions the navigation buttons on a remote control. As you can see, the “ top” and “ left” buttons are set to the default setting “ auto“, since you cannot jump to anything from button #1 on those directions. Next, take a look at the section below named focus. The properties in the picture down below are the properties for thumbnail #1 if you notice it is set to jump to chapter one when clicked. Right-click on each thumbnail and click “Properties”. Stretch the background image to cover everything, but try to place all menu items inside, not touching the white frame.ġ) Click on Menu 2 to display it on the screen.Ģ) You will see that the first thumbnail (Chapter#1) is already populated, and if you already configured the times where your chapters start, the others should be populated as well.ģ) If you have more chapters than thumbnail frames on the screen, you can create additional ones by right-clicking on one of the existing ones and copying and pasting it on the same screen, then right-click on your new thumbnail frame, click on it’s “properties” and set it to jump to the correct chapter. You are not supposed to place any items in that area since TVs may or may not display it. If you notice, all menus have a light transparent white frame around them. Then in the same screen choose font size, color, etc. However, if your prefer to add your own, all you have to do is drag it and drop it on the DVDStyler screen, and then grab the picture by the corners to resize it so that it fits correctly.ġ) To add text: Right click on the screen -> Select “Add” -> Click on “Text”.Ģ) To modify the text: Right Click on the text -> Click on Properties -> Click on Font. To determine these times, you can open your video in any video editor (like Avidemux), fast forward and write down the time where each chapter starts, then, enter them in DVDStyler, each separated by a comma with no spaces.Ĭustomizing Text, Links And Menu BackgroundĭVDStyler already comes with preset background images. You can leave “Audio Format” with its default setting.ģ) Drag your video (or videos) to the bottom of the main screen (where menu 1 and menu 2 are).Ĥ) Right click on the video you just dropped, click on “Properties” and set the time where your all chapters start. Under aspect ratio choose whether your home video was shot in Widescreen (16:9) or the old standard (4:3). NTSC is for the United States, South America, Japan and PAL is for Europe and pretty much the rest of the world. Make sure you choose the correct “Video Format” and “Aspect Ratio”.
