Adding Slideshows To A Video Project; Adding Submenus To A Video Project - HP z558 Software Manual

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, and then select a video project
that you created as described in "Creating a video
project" on page 104.
2
Do one or more of the following:
Add existing picture files as described in
■
"Adding files to a video project" on page 105.
Capture still images as described in "Capturing
■
video to a video project" on page 105.

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.
