23. Creating Show Menus

First Impressions

You can create your own full menu system for most of the output selections
you make in ProShow. These menus can be simple and effective or more
fully featured like those you see in movie DVDs.

The process to create them is very similar to making slides and you’ll find
much of the same flexibility there. In fact, the process to create a custom
menu is so similar to making a slide that all of the tools work in essentially
the same way. If you know how to construct and edit a slide you have all
the skills you need to create your own menu.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get going with a menu is to make one using any of the
pre-made themes that come with ProShow. Let’s start with the
configuration of a simple menu and then move on to creating your own
custom menu.

There are a variety of different output formats that support menus. These
include: DVD, Blu-ray, Flash, Executable, Autorun Disc, Presenter Shows
and shows uploaded to the ProShow Gallery.

When you make a custom menu for any format you choose, you can save
that menu, and use it for every other publishing format that supports
menus.
