Selection Menus

[wkadams]

I am getting ready to burn my project to dvd. I am at the create menu step. Is there a way to add more menu items. Most of the templates will just allow 4 menu selections per page. My video needs 5 selections. I would rather have them all on one page rather than have two pages of menus. I have hunted for a way to add the extra item but can't find a solution. Any ideas? BTW I am using VS Pro X2 on windows XP. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Go to the Edit tab, then click on the Customize button. In the customize window, click on the drop-down menu located below the Menu-Out. There should be one option for Layout. That should provide you with various Layouts up to and including 8 titles.

Thanks Ron for the answer. I followed your instructions. When I selected the drop down on the customize page there is the choice of navigation button and text only layout. I chose the text only layout. This gave me only one option for a menu with 2 titles. I was expecting to be able to choose from many different layouts. Only had the one. Same thing for navigation buttons. Only had one option. Anything else I should be doing? Thanks again for your help. It is very much appreciated.

What template are you using? I think the Smart Scene menus are very limited, most Text and Thumbnail menus have the most latitude for customizing.

Do you still have your original VS X2 installation files? I ask because it seems clear you have not installed all the templates. I have just looked at my X2 installation, and it has 24 Smartscene templates, 29 text templates, and 42 thumbnail templates...

There are also a number of additional free ones provided by forum users that you can access here :-

including one with 12 selections.

Thanks again Ron for your response. I had tried several different templates with the same results. However, on further investigation, I found that I didn't have the bonus content packages loaded on my computer. I loaded that and got many more options. So I think I am set for the selection menus. Thanks so much for your help. Happy Thanksgiving.
