Adding productions to your MyDVD project
A production is a combination of photos or video clips that you assemble.
When the production is played back, the items in it appear as one
continuous sequence.
Movies and slideshows are two types of productions. A movie is a collection
of video clips and photos that play one after the other. Movies can include
transitions and other effects. Slideshows are similar to movies, but contain
only still images and optional background audio. Images generally look
better in a slideshow than they do when used in a movie.
DVD-Video and VCD projects can contain up to 98 productions (movies
and slideshows), whereas DVD+VR projects can contain up to 48
productions.
You can add several production buttons to each menu, and then arrange
and resize the buttons as desired. For more information, see
Working with
buttons
on page 98.
In the productions themselves, you can add, remove, edit, and rearrange the
video clips and photos, add transitions, and much more.
Note
You cannot add slideshows to 3D projects.

1
On the Menus tab in the Project View area, click the menu where you
