Anyone know the maximum # of buttons in Maestro?

I get an error in the 16:9 mode when I try to use >18 buttons, and another thread said that a max of 25 are allowed in 4:3.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to get Maestro to tell me this error until it has run a full compile on the project.... Anyone know the maximum # off hand?

There are 36 buttons. All of them may be used if you have only one display mode for your menu. But, if your menu can be viewed in 2 or 3 different ways, then the buttons get divided up. To use all the buttons, use only one aspect ratio, and, if its 16:9, disable auto-pan/scan and auto-letterbox.

The same applies to buttons used during the movie (like the white rabbit).

Thanks! Very helpful. Sure enough, had some auto-stuff turned on.
