We have our Main Menu all programmed and ready to go. But don't forget we have a Scenes Button here that we need to program with a Sub-Menu. We also have this Special Features button I'm going to leave for you guys to play around with and some slides or whatever you like, we're not actually going to do this one together. You can actually delete this if you like or as I said before gives you some of the earlier lessons to create a Slideshow so you can have some Special Features there. We're going to go to Scenes now and create a Sub-Menu. I'm going to go to the Entertainment Category and I'm going to choose the Projector Sub-Menu to add this to our project by double clicking on it and I'll move this down a little bit. Now that we have our Main Menu which has the first play on it and it also says First Play which is exactly what we want and we have to link our movies now to the Sub-Menu. You can also feel free to change this background the way we did with the Main Menu, you can put a still image there or you could put a movie there from the Movies Folder. Let's go ahead and modify this now so it suits ours needs. You'll notice that we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 movies but four buttons. Hmm. We're going to do a little copying and pasting now. So first I'm going to grab the Direct Selection Tool and get rid of this Main Title Button, I don't want that there. You have to go. Then I'm going to go back to the regular old black arrow and select these guys by holding down the Shift Key and I'm going to move them up. And to help me make sure I actually have an in, the right position, I'm going to turn on our Safe Areas and it looks fine so far. I'm going to also click on these last two buttons and copy them and paste them and I'll move these down. And I bet you didn't know you could do that, you could copy and paste buttons inside of Encore. So what I'm going to do at this point is make them look a little bit more like they belong in a horror movie. So let's go ahead and just rearrange them so their not quite right, a little off. Some are going to be really close to each other and some will have a lot of space. You can also resize these buttons if you like as well. Don't forget just click on the corner and squeeze one down to make room and it also helps to go with the Main Menu that has a little bit of a disoriented feel to it. So don't worry about these being straight. Now let's grab our content and put it into each of these buttons. So I'm going to grab the Crash Timeline and just drag it right on to Chapter 1, raking up goes to Chapter 2 and you get the idea. You could also rename these chapters if you like as well, just use your Type Tool and highlight these so you can rename them. But I'm going to leave them as Chapters for now. Now that we have our Sub-Menu in position I think I actually am going to just copy the same Motion Menu Background as we had in the Main Menu. So I'm going to go to my Movies, grab the Crash Movie, hold down the Alt or Option Key and just replace this Motion Menu so that they kind of match up a little bit more clearly. All we have to do at this point is program the Main Menu so that it links to this Menu and we're going to do that by, first of all, let me move this a little bit. We're going to go to our Main Menu, so I'm going to double click on it and on the Scenes Button I'm going to link it to the actual Sub-Menu. So click on Scenes, grab the link Pickwhip and drag it over to the Projector. So now when we click on Scenes we'll go over to the projector which I opened by double clicking on it here in the Project Panel and when people click on these little buttons they will go to the appropriate scene. But we have a little bit more work on these guys, so we'll talk about that in the next part.
