    I am creating custom menus in DVD Architect with several sub-menu/chapter selection pages. Is there a way to set my scene preview buttons project size and x,y location wide? Can I set one menu page and have the other pages automatically set based on one menu page’s attributes? Thank you.

    Ctrl-C on the desired button, open the next menu page, Ctrl-V.

    I like to save my menu pages as templates. Then you can just apply that template at the start and all of your pages will be in the format that you want.

    That’s probably the better method. I didn’t think of it because I’ve never used templates in DVDA. (I make all my DVD menus in Photoshop, and no two are alike).

    Glad that worked for you. I always make templates for projects that I know will use again.

    Now that I can create templates the only issue I am having is that when I use my saved templates all of my thumbnails on my scene selection menus have the text from the original project I created the template with. So I always have to go back and type each scene title in manually.

    Is there a way to save a template so that all of my thumbnails sizes and locations stay in place but will uses each new projects marker titles?
