4 Tips
n Consider waiting until you’ve added more
content to your project before using the
autofill feature, so that iDVD will have
plenty of media to choose from.
n The drag-and-drop approach can be
problematic if your aim is poor: a few
pixels off and you could find yourself
replacing the menu’s background image
(see “Changing the Background” in
Chap ter 3). To ensure that you’re per-
forming the action you want, press the
Command or Option key when dragging
to view a contextual menu with options
for placing the media (Figure 2.17).
n You can opt to turn off the “Drop Zone”
text in iDVD’s General preferences by
disabling the Show drop zone labels
checkbox. If you turn it off, the words
reappear when you drag media onto the
menu area.
Using Drop Zones

you drop a media file to direct how it will be added.
