Changing a motion button to a still image

A motion button is a button that plays a video clip. You can turn a motion button into a button that shows a still image instead.

To remove the motion effect from a button:

Step 1

Click the thumbnail portion of the button (not the button label) twice, slowly, to select it.

Step 2

In the Movie pane that appears (shown below), select the Still Image checkbox.

This stops the motion on the button.

Step 3

To change the frame of the movie that shows on the button, drag the Movie slider until you see the image you want.

Step 4

Click somewhere on the menu outside the button to close the Movie pane.

You can also drag a still image from the Photos pane or elsewhere on your computer onto the button. This replaces the video clip with the still image. To access the Photos pane, click the Media button in the lower right of the iDVD window, and then click the Photos button at the top of the pane.
