PHOTO SLIDESHOWS ON CD OR DVD

You can create custom backgrounds and
menus allowing you to put multiple
slideshows on a single disk. You can even
add music to your slideshows to create a
multimedia experience.
DVD Picture Show is totally wizard driven so
it is very easy to use, simply choose VCD
2.0 or DVD format, select the still images for
your slideshow, add background music,
select a menu background and record to CD
or DVD disk. Then you can play your slide
show in most any DVD player so the entire
family can enjoy the show!
Images can be captured in .jpg or .bmp format from
within the Video Studio 6 application.
A still image can be captured in the Storyboard Step
by selecting a specific frame in the Timeline and
saving it as an image file. In this manner, possible
distortions are avoided since the image is not acquired
from a running video.
To capture still images in Video Studio:
1. Select a clip in your project.
2. Drag the Preview Bar to the frame you want to
capture.
3. Switch to an image folder in the Library. The folder
can be the default Image folder, or the one created by
yourself.
4. Click Save Still Image in the Options Panel. The
new image file is saved to the hard disk and is
represented as a thumbnail in the image folder you
assigned.

or DVD recorder attached to your PC at the
beginning of this procedure and a new blank
disk inserted. Follow the steps and you will
be brought to a video capture dialog screen.

record to the disk
Select how often you want chapters to be
automatically created in minutes or seconds;
i.e. set chapter every 5 minutes.
Select video quality (for DVD only) to Good,
Better or Best. VCD is a set quality
standard.
Click Play on your video device. You will see
video playing in the preview window, then
Click the “RED” record button below the video
preview area to start recording.
Video will temporarily be stored on your hard
drive. At the end of the capture sequence,
the video will automatically be sequenced
into chapters and burned to the disk.
The finished disk is automatically ejected
when sequence is complete.
