menus and chapters in MovieFactory6

Post by sh_educator »

Hi,
I'm trying to make the final version DVD of a movie I made with my special ed students. I made some chapters, but when I go to edit the menu only one chapter is shown. Shouldn't all chapters automatically show up so I can edit (name) them? My menu page is not one of MovieFactory's templates. I am using an imported jpeg as a backgound. The "favorites" template that this created shows 4 numbered chapters, but when I go to edit, there is only one. I purchased MovieFactory 6 after playing around with the trial version and I need to get this done. Thanks for your help.

Maybe you're just confusing the main menu with the chapter menu of a clip. Chapter menus are only created if this option is chosen.

I have no doubt that I am confused. Under advanced settings, I have "add title menu", "create chapter menu", and "show thumbnail number" all checked. I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Ok. I figured out that there is a difference between a title menu and a chapter menu. Since I just wanted one simple menu, I am using my chapter menu as my title menu. I also blundered upon "choose layout" on the dropdown menu under "customize" and found a layout that let me put 6 chapters on a the menu without adding a page 2 to the menu. Is there any way to get more than 6 spots for chapters and keep it all on one page? Thanks

You'll find a menu template with 12 'spots', created by Steve Jones, on this page (scroll down to Steve's post of Jan 06, 2007) - along with a variety of other member-shared templates.
