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.
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.

Adding submenus to a video project

Each project element (video file, still picture file, and slideshow) that you add to a
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.
2 Click New Sub-Menu. A submenu called Untitled Menu 0 is added to the
first menu that has less than six project elements.
3 Click the submenu name (Untitled Menu 0), and type an appropriate name
for the menu.
