Menu Labels- Premiere 4.0

Question

I created a new menu template which has up to 16 scene marker icons. When I apply the template, all the marked scenes appear as expected, but I can only "rename" five per page. I created the additional scene icons by duplicating the orignals, so they have all the same components (text, background, boarder, etc). I just can't edit the titles for scenes above number five. Is there some limit to active scene markers?

Steve,
Since I do not use PE for DVD creation, I could be way off base here, but doesn't PE create the necessary number of "scene selection" Menus, that are needed for the number of Chapter Markers? If that is the case, Alan could modify a Scene Selection Menu to hold, say 7 Links, and Save_As a new name, with the appropriate Main Menu to accommodate these (seem to recall that PE wants to see both, and then automatically handles generation of additional Menus, as needed), per the link that you offer.
Maybe my thinking is all wrong on how PE handles the Scene Selection Menus.
Alan,
Beyond about 8-9 Buttons, users get very confused, even though you can fit up to 16 Buttons. The artistic layout also get compromised. Instead, I find that having multiple Scene Selecton Menus is a better route, with additional navigational Buttons to "Previous," and "Next," where necessary. I just did a Project with 35 "Chapters," and used 6 Scene Selection Menus. The last one also Linked to a Slideshow, while the "Play All" Button was on the Main Menu, along with the Link to Scene Selection 01. This Menu had a "Main Menu" Button, plus a "Next" Button. Scene Selection 02 had a "Main Menu" Button, plus a "Next" Button and a "Previous" Button. Same for most of the rest, until Scene Selection 06. It had only a "Main Menu" Button, plus a "Previous" Button. Otherwise, all Scene Selection Menus were the same. Now, I did use thumbnails for each "Chapter/Scene." The "Next," "Main," and "Previous" Buttons were just text.
Good luck,
Hunt
