618 23. Creating Show Menus

• Captions: All of the captions that appear on your menu page can
be configured here. In addition to the standard options such as
location, font, and color, you can configure interactivity for each
caption.

For the most part, making a custom menu is a lot like making a slide.
Combine layers, captions, and music together to create a composition that
will impress your audience. When approaching a menu page, it’s best to
think about it in the same way you think about your slides. You want your
menu to be similar to the show you’re making it for, so the same approach
you used for the show is the best way to work.
Let’s start by making pages, since those are the canvas you use for the rest
of the elements.

Creating Additional Pages

When working on a menu in ProShow, you’re always working with a specific
page. Your show is probably only going to have one page when you get
started.
You can create a new page regardless of the tab you're in, but it's usually
best to make new pages using the Settings tab. That way you can get the
basics out of the way first, before customizing.
To the left of the Menu Preview, you'll see the Pages
List. This is where you add, move, or delete any pages
you’re using in your menu.
You can think of the Pages List as a bit of a
combination of your Slide List and a Layers List. The
pages are like slides because they contain the layers
and captions you’re using. At the same time, the pages
are like layers because they’re contained within the
overall menu.
