Using the Menu Tab in iDVD

Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. If you want to come down and click on the menu tab at the bottom right, it's going to bring up your menu dialogue. Over here you'll see in the middle, it says use drop zones to personalize your menu. This is just another way that you can customize the drop zones. You can just drag your photos over here just like we did before in a couple different ways. Up here at the top right, it's going to say loop duration. Right now, it's set to 28 seconds. That's the length of my movie over here. If you drag and drop your own custom music, that's going to change the maximum length. What iDVD is going to do is it's just going to continue to loop the same animation over and over if it goes beyond the default. Right now, mine is set to 28, which is at the default. What you can do is you can also drag the slider to the left. I'll set it to 14, so my animation is not going to be as long. You can see the further left your drag it, the shorter your animation is going to be. If you want to hear the entire song that you've selected, just drag it all the way over to the right. You've also got your menu volume so you can change the audio, the volume of the audio, which shouldn't be confused here at the bottom. This is just what you're going to hear in your headphones. If you've got music that's too loud playing in your animation, you can adjust accordingly here. In most cases, the default is going to be acceptable.
