Subpictures are a very important part of the DVD experience and even though it has a strange name, it's something that you need to give you visual stimuli, visual feedback so that you know you actually have your mouse over something. Same this is when you're surfing the web, sometimes when you put your mouse over a menu, the menu turns into a different color or it highlights or it glows. Well, a Subpicture in Encore does the same thing. When you hover your mouse over your remote control icon, over a button, you get a little visual stimuli, a little glow, a little image that appears or disappears. And that is a Subpicture. Also it could be the upcoming name of a Stephen King novel. Stephen King's Subpicture. But anyway, as you see here I have this menu and currently when I click on it, you don't see the Subpicture. But there is a picture here that will actually let us know that I've actually highlighted a button. I can see it by clicking this guy right here in the Menu Menu or view port or monitor. I can click here and I can see the highlight and it lets me know that it's there. And I'm going to jump over to Photoshop real fast and show you that they're here as well. These are simply drawings that live on their own layer and they could be anything. You could draw a star there, you can draw a rectangle. They have to be pretty simply, so don't get crazy and add people's faces and highlights and glows and all kinds of stuff. They're pretty basic and they're simply something that activates to let you know that something is highlighted and you can have several different states for these guys, by the way. You can have it where you have a different set of feedback when you put your mouse over the button, when you click and that kind of stuff. So we'll talk more about that later on in the project we're going to work on. But I just wanted to show you that in all of your button sets here you have a Subpicture layer that you create and I'll talk about how to create those later on in the section where we create an actual menu in buttons. But for now, I just wanted to let you know what a Subpicture is and what its purpose is and the reason that it's actually inside of a menu. I'll go ahead and click here to preview this and just give you another idea. When I hover my mouse, it simply activates and lets me know that this is where I am in the navigation so I don't get lost. Now, you imagine if there was no Subpicture. How would you know that you actually had the right button selected? So you want to watch the special features? Well, if you don't put your mouse over it, you'll have no idea if you're actually ready to click the button to press it to activate the special features. So once again, these guys are pretty basic but they're extremely important in the DVD viewing experience.
