MovieFactory 6 - How do I add a text/object box to a menu?

Post by bluephrog »

My apologies for such a simple question. I've tried to find anything in the knowledge base, and the other posts are so plentiful I didn't check them all. In other software (label makers, etc) I would right click, then drag the cursor to create a text or object box. That doesn't work, and playing around hasn't shown me how. I'm also totally new to the forums and expected behavior, so... again, sorry fopr the simple question.

The Procedures for creating DVD Menus in MovieFactory and VideoStudio are almost identical.
Please view:
Authoring a DVD

If you want to do what it is I think you want to do - put something onto a menu that doesn't already exist (text box etc.) then you would need to use PhotoImpact and either create a purpose built menu from scratch or else Modify an existing one.
