Adding slideshows to a video project

You can create a slideshow (a series of still images
displayed automatically) by adding existing still
photos to your project or by capturing them with a
connected digital video source.
To add a slideshow to a video project:
1
Click File, Open Project, and then select a
video project that you created as described in
"Creating a Video Project" on page 82.
2
Click New Slideshow to open the Create
Slideshow window.
3
Do one or more of the following:
Click Add Files to add existing picture
■
files to the slideshow.
Click Capture Pictures to capture still
■
images from your camera.

Adding submenus to a video project

Each project element (video file, still picture file, and
slideshow) that you add to the video project is
represented in the main project window.
Each menu displays six items before a new
menu is automatically created and linked to
the previous menu by a Next button.
You can manually add submenus to a project and
use them to organize topics associated with the
theme of your project. For example, if the project is
your child's soccer game, the video files of the
game could be the main menu elements, and you
could insert a submenu that contains interviews with
your son and his teammates.
To add a submenu to a video project:
1
Click File, Open Project, and then select a
video project that you created as described in
"Creating a Video Project" on page 82.
4
Click Options to set the slide duration, or to
add a background audio track. Online help is
available for these features by clicking the
Help icon in the MyDVD window.
5
Click OK to add the slideshow to the video
project.
2
Click New Sub-Menu. A submenu called
Untitled Menu 1 is added to the first menu that
has less than six project elements.
3
Click the submenu name Untitled Menu 1,
and type an appropriate name for the menu
(for example, Interviews, using the previous
example).
4
Double-click the new submenu, and do one or
more of the following:
Add existing picture files as described in
■
"Adding files to a video project" on
page 83.
Capture still images as described in
