Operation Manual

148 Pinnacle Studio 9
is placed on this track. For optimum results, you may
need to prepare the image in an image-editing
application beforehand.
Note: Studio Plus users have an additional option, the
overlay track, for adding their images to the Timeline.
See Chapter 6: Two-track editing with Studio Plus, for
details.
The Album has separate sections for titles, bitmapped
images and disc menus. All these resources are stored
as separate files on your hard drive. You can also create
titles and disc menus of your own in Studio’s Title
Editor and add them directly to your movie without
first saving them as separate files (see Chapter 10: The
Title Editor). Similarly, still video frames can be added
directly from the Frame grabber tool (see “The Frame
Grabber” on page 158).
Full-screen images
A full-screen image is one that is placed on the video
track. It fills the entire screen, replacing the video.
When the preceding video clip ends, Studio plays the
still image clip. The visual effect is that the video ends,
and is replaced by the graphic until the next clip begins.
Overlay images
An overlay image is one that is placed on the title track.
It is superimposed on the current video clip, without
replacing the video.
