Premiere 6.5 Fundamentals

DVDit manages its project assets in the Palette window, as shown in Figure A.4. Each project's assets are grouped in various themes. These themes are further broken down into different types of assets:

• Backgrounds

• Buttons

• Text

• Media

One theme can be used to contain assets for each of these different groups. Within the Palette window, you can create new themes or open existing themes to help organize the various assets. You must always open the theme you want to associate your assets with before importing them into DVDit.

note

The Text window remains the same under each theme you create, because it lists the fonts installed on your PC. If you want to add new fonts to DVDit, simply install new fonts on your PC, and they will appear the next time you launch DVDit.

To create a new theme, do the following:

1. Select Theme > New Theme from the Palette window.

2. Type in a name for the new theme.

3. Click OK.

To import media files, do the following:

1. Open DVDit (if it isn't already open).

2. After you're inside a project (new or existing), open the desired theme or create a new one.

3. Select the appropriate button on the bottom of the Palette window where you want to store the graphics (either in the Backgrounds, Buttons, or Media category).

4. Select Theme > Add File To Theme from the Palette window, or right-click inside the Palette window and select Add File To Theme.

5. Browse to locate the file(s) you want to import.

6. Click Open. The file should appear in the selected Palette window.
