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:
1Click File, Open Project, and then select a video project that you created as described in “Creating a Video Project” on page 82.
2Click New Slideshow to open the Create Slideshow window.
3Do 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.
4Click 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.

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:
1Click File, Open Project, and then select a video project that you created as described in “Creating a Video Project” on page 82.
2Click New
3Click the submenu name (Untitled Menu 0), and type an appropriate name for the menu.
