The menu panel contains left/right arrows. They
are used to navigate fast to the next and last
chapter menu page, without having to change
the `Current page´ via `Context´. These buttons
are not usable unless there actually is a next or
previous page.
7.2 Context
You can create further buttons, just like in the
Title menu, with this function. For these buttons,
you must assign activities using the ´Button´
functions. For example, from the chapter menu,
you could go to the film directly or back to the
main title menu.
`New button´: You can create and edit a new
button. Please note that this is about adding
totally new buttons. Buttons for the selection of
predefined chapters or navigation arrows for a
page change are automatically created and do
not need to be created anew.
`Remove button´: This deletes a button you have
added. Automatically created buttons can not be
deleted this way.
7. Background
`Adjust wide´: If you chose a scene for the
background and selected it from the scene
bin of a project, you can correct the display in
terms of brightness, contrast and colour.
Note: You can only have a button with a
moving sequence if you indeed select a
moving scene in this menu. The maximum
duration of the sequence depends on
the background scene you selected here.
Again, the maximum length is 60 seconds.
If you selected an individual page design,
containing only one page with a moving
image, it will affect all other pages, even
if the background is only a pattern (not
moving). This is required especially when you
want to have scene sequences for all chapter
button across multiple pages. They would not
move if the background was defined as a still
image.
7.4 Texts
This menu was previously called `Title´ in
Arabesk 3. in Arabesk 4, you can add further text
boxes to the main title.
`New´: It is now possible to position multiple
texts/titles in one menu. Click onto `New´ and
your current text will be duplicated. This new
text field can be edited as you wish.
`Remove´: Deletes the current text field. A text
field must always exist, it is therefore not
possible to delete the last one. If you do not
wish to have any text in your menu, simply
delete the text content itself.
7.5 Buttons
This menu was previously called `Stamps´ in
Arabesk 3. You can now also use symbols, thus
the menu‘s name has been changed.
`Type´: There are two new settings now. Apart
from `Stamp from scene´ and `Stamp from
background´, it is also possible to select a `Scene
sequence´ and a `Colour/Pattern´. Once you have
selected a type, and if it is not of the `Image from
background´ type, you can select the type using
the `Selection´ button.
`Scene sequence + Select´: You will receive a
choice of project and thereafter the respective
scene bin. Select the scene and enter the trim
menu to define a sequence from this scene. This
will be the sequence representing your button.
Note that a sequence can only be use if the
background was set as `Scene´. The scene
