706 23. Creating Show Menus

Selecting a Menu Layout
The way your menu is arranged can have a big impact on how well it’s
received. The first thing to consider is the Aspect Ratio of your menu.
It’s always wise to make sure that your menu’s Aspect Ratio matches the
aspect ratio for your shows. If you’re including a 16:9 show, make sure the
menu is set to 16:9.
The Layout refers directly to the number of thumbnails and their
arrangement on the page. You can display up to 8 thumbnails as graphics
or as a text list on your page. Keep in mind that your thumbnails will come
into play when you add more than one show to your menu.

You'll also find your Customize Menu button here. This is where you go
when you're ready to further customize all of the aspects of how your menu
will look. We'll cover customizing a menu in detail shortly.

Menus and Multiple Shows

When you have multiple shows, you can opt to include those additional
shows as thumbnails on your menu.

That’s where the Layout comes in. You can use the Layout dropdown list
to select how many thumbnails you want to display and how you want
them to appear on your menu.
