3 Drag the still images to the Menu Editor, positioning them at the location where you
want the new button to be created. You can also drag them to an existing button if you
want to link that button to the slideshow.
4 When you hold the pointer still, the Drop Palette appears. Choose an option that creates
a slideshow.
A slideshow is created and linked to a button on the menu.
You can modify the slideshow just like any other slideshow, adding additional stills and
audio as desired. Use the Slideshow Inspector to set the slideshow’s name, jumps, and
remote control settings.
Working with Slides in a Slideshow
Once you’ve created a slideshow, you can start adding still images to it. You can add still
images one at a time or as a group, and rearrange their order. Before you begin adding
slides, you should set their default duration.
Setting the Default Slide Duration
The General pane in DVD Studio Pro Preferences contains a default duration setting that
determines each slide’s length when first imported. It’s a good idea to set the default
slide duration before adding slides to the slideshow. While this setting applies to all slides
when first imported, you can change the duration of individual slides later.
See General Preferences for more information on this setting.
You shouldn’t spend too much time fine-tuning each slide’s duration until you have
added and arranged all slides, and have added any audio.
