Copying or moving buttons to other menus

You can copy or move buttons from one menu to another within an iDVD project. This is helpful, for example, when your project becomes complex. You may decide to create a submenu to better organize your project. In this case, you can move buttons you’ve already made from one menu to another, which saves time.

To move or copy buttons between menus:

Step 1

Open the menu whose buttons you want to copy or move.

Step 2

Select a button.

To select more than one button, press the Shift key as you click buttons. To select all buttons, select one button and then choose Edit > Select All Buttons.

Step 3

Choose Edit > Cut, which deletes the buttons from the current menu, or choose Edit > Copy to copy them.

Step 4

Open the menu where you want to move the buttons (click the button for it on the current menu), and choose Edit > Paste.

The style of the buttons is preserved, as are their links. For example, if you move a button that links to a slideshow, it still links to that same slideshow from the new menu.

When you paste the buttons, they either snap into place according to the invisible button grid or the menu automatically changes to “Free positioning” mode because the menu now has more buttons than the theme accommodates. In either case, you may need to reposition or reformat the new buttons to make them look good on the menu.

You can also create a submenu of existing buttons from another menu. For more information, see Related Topics below.
