Ulead DVD PictureShow User Guide

Tip: When creating your own menu backgrounds, the

recommended dimensions to use is either 640x480

pixels or 768x576 pixels. The background image will be

stretched to fill the entire TV screen. For image

dimensions other than the recommended size, to avoid

distortion, the ratio of the width and height need to be

4:3, same as a TV screen. Please also note that about

15% of edges (7.5% each side) will be outside the TV

screen and therefore not viewable.

Select Menu Template

In this step, you can create the selection menu to allow the viewer to instantly access the various

slideshows. DVD PictureShow provides several preset template layouts to set the theme of your

menus.

If you have multiple slideshows in your project, several menu pages may be created, depending on

the selected menu template. Click the navigation buttons inside the Preview window to go forward

or backward through the menu pages and customize them.

1. Select a preset template layout theme from the

drop-down menu.

2. Apply the desired preset template layout by

double-clicking the thumbnail from the list.

3. Click "My Title" on each menu page to give a

different descriptive title for each page.

4. Click the text near the slideshow holders in the

Preview window to enter a longer slideshow

description.

5. Use your own custom backgrounds for the layout

templates. Click Background image

to open

a dialog box where you can set your background.

Slideshow text changes are retained when

changing backgrounds.

6. Add music to your menus by clicking Background

music

. This opens a menu where you can

select the music file you want to add to the

slideshow selection menu. This background music

is different from the background music of your

slideshows.

7. Click Next.

Preview Slideshow

The Preview Slideshow step automatically displays a preview of the photo slideshow you are

working on. Click Play/Pause to resume/pause the preview, or click Stop to end the preview.

The Show slideshow number option is only available when
