SUBTITLE SCREEN has it`s own separate TEXT file. When
you send us your Files they must be first Saved as a Rich Text Format

in Microsoft Word, but the steps are virtually the same for other word
processor programs.

Here
are the instructions for creating an Image for YOUR ENTRY AND/OR MAIN
SCREEN. These are the steps that should be followed using PHOTOSHOP, but
almost every Image-editing software uses the same simple procedure.The
Image that you create for YOUR MAIN SCREEN will stay as your background
in your MAIN SCREEN as well as in the SUBTITLE SCREENS.
The simple way to make YOUR ENTRY SCREEN AND /OR MAIN SCREEN is to use
Your Own Picture from your files as your background. [Instructions to
Save your Picture File follow.] Or you could choose a picture from OUR
GALLERY.
Alternatively, if you are familiar with Image-editing software, then you
can create your own ENTRY/MAIN SCREEN by yourself.
Remember, you can also add your LOGO to the screen and you will have the
opportunity to listen to and select some music to accompany your Programme.
You will need to have QuickTime
installed on your computer to be able to listen to and select some music.
CREATING
AN IMAGE FOR YOUR ENTRY SCREEN AND/OR MAIN SCREEN.
- Go to
the File option on the menu bar and Choose New:
A window
will open similar to the above one with the information about your new
image file. To create a full screen image [means an image that will
completely fill your screen] write exactly what is in the example, that
is 640 by 480; otherwise, if you want to create a picture that uses
only part of your screen use a smaller size. If the box next to Resolution
says anything other than 72, change it as well. Click OK.
- Create
your picture using the tools offered by your image editing software
- When
your picture is complete Choose Save As
- Name
the File and add the jpg extension or pct extension accordingly to the
file format. (see nexr step)

a File Format, JPEG or PICT file. Click OK.
