Creating a Custom Menu

Custom menus build on what you’ve already created by adding some extra
options. Here’s an overview of what you can do with a custom menu:
• Create multiple pages within the menu

• Add layers and captions to menu pages

• Add music to the whole menu, or per page
• Use caption and layer interactivity to allow the menu to be
navigated

To Create a Custom Menu

• Click on Customize Menu button found in the Menu Layout area
under the Menus tab.

You’ll notice right away that the Customize Menu window has similar
options when compared to the Slide Options window. Use the tabs at the
top to navigate through all of the options that are available for arranging
the menu.

Let’s go through each of the tabs to see how they can be used to customize
your menu:
• Settings: From here you'll set up the basic page options,
including: page title, background, simple navigation and your
soundtrack.
• Thumbnails: The Thumbnails tab allows you to control what
shows appear on each page of your menu. You can also control
the location of the show thumbnail and thumbnail behaviors.
• Layers: Working with menu layers is just like working with Layers
in Slide Options. Here you can add layers to your menu page,
configure the location of the layer, perform edits and adjustments
to the layer and add any interactivity you want that layer to have.
