Adding your own logo or jpg to the front of an iDVD movie

Hi all

Does anyone know how I can add my own logo to the front screen of an iDVD movie?

I have imported a few self running Keynote presentations into iDVD, but want to place either my own logo or a jpeg on the front menu selection screen. Every time drag in a jpeg it sets itsef as a background for the whole screen vs just a logo/picture frame of a certain size


Thanks a stack... Rob

Here's at least a few ways of doing this off the top of my head - don't have idvd in front of me. At least a few of them should work.

1. Edit the template background using photoshop to incorporate your logo.

2. Add a menu item button that leads to a jpg with an expansive blurb on your company. drop your logo jpg into the button. Use freeform button placement to put the button where you want on the screen.

3. Replace the apple logo watermark with your own logo watermark. I'm pretty sure this can be done, but can't remember details off the top of my head - you'll have to google to find out how.

4. Just add a text item with your company name.

I'm sure there are more elegant ways.

cheers.

Thanks for the ideas. I managed by creating a slide in Keynote with an appropriate background, dropped the logo into the slide and then used Grab to create a jpeg. Dropped this jpeg as a background for the DVD opening screen with the menus in the foreground......... looks good
