I only have one clip and the menu shows the thumbnail for it.
I can right click the thumbnail and select Hide Object.
This is perfect except when the menu is played the user can still get the semi-transparent coloured overlay for the removed thumbnail to highlight using the cursor direction keys. This take the focus off the play button but more importantly looks horrid.
Can I remove it somehow without having to create a whole new template ?
Thanks very much.
How do I delete a menu thumbnail ?

Burn the DVD to a hard drive folder and then use MenuEdit.

Think of it all like this:
When you create a DVD menu what you are in fact creating is a short video. That video is an image of the menu you have just created complete with the moving thumbnail images. When you get to the end of the video it loops back to the start and starts playing again.
Superimposed upon the top of that video are 'hotspots' - these are where you have placed images of buttons and links. when you press the up/down/left/right buttons on your DVD remote control you move from one hotspot to another. When you have selected a hotspot, it displays something - this can be a subtle change in a transparency level or even a highlight image.
Press the OK button on the DVD remote and that hotspot is now activated and you are taken to either a video/chapter or another menu screen.
When you hide an object on the DVD menu, it is still there - so in other words that hotspot still exists, you can navigate to it and activate it.
What MenuEdit will do is remove that hotpot altogether so that it can now longer be selected and activated.
What MenuEdit will not do is remove the image of a button or other object.
That 'button' or link is a part of the video that you created - the video that represents your DVD Menu.
