Adding extra clips to scene selection menu

OldTimer wrote on 8/28/2003, 8:42 PM

When you start a scene selection menu you are asked how many scenes do you want on a page suppose that you have a total of 16 for your project so that you are going to get 2 pages of 8 each, or 4 pages of 4 each etc. If at a later stage you decide that you would prefer either to increase the number of scenes to 17 can you add the extra scene without starting all over again. Could the extra thumbnail be added to either the first or second screen? Could you have converted your entire project from say 16 clips on 2 pages to say 18 clips on 3 pages without redoing everything, assuming that the extra 2 clips aren't required on the last page?

Sure. Just cut and paste the thumbnails to whatever page you want to move them to.

How do I get the extra thumbnails?

I'm referring to the thumbnails generated from the scene selection menu function.

Does this mean that I can't add an extra one some other way when it's needed?

You can add a new menu option on any menu that points to any chapter point. If you add a new chapter point and want it on the third menu, go to the third menu, drag the movie there (which will create the link), double-click it, and set the IN point to the new chapter location. While there, also set the icon picture to use.
