DVD custom disc menu

How can I use a photo for a full screen disc menu background. JusT MY SELECTED PICTURE WITH NO OTHER DISC MENU THEME. THANKS

It's not clear what you're asking.

You can certainly use your photo as the background of a DVD menu. If you are trying to use it with no other graphic elements in the picture, try using the Slideshow Pan and Zoom Movie Menu template which has only text and a gray box that can be resized and shaped to make it virtually invisible.

There are 4 tabs " PROJECT, EDIT, DISC MENUS, & SHARE"

When I click on DISC MENUS, I receive a screen that says "to add menu drag template here". I only see templates with certain themes such as (fun, grid, retro, comicboo..) I do not see Slideshow Pan Zoom Movie template for a DVD disc menu. Please help.

Customize a menu background

You can personalize your menu background with video clips, video clips with audio, an audio clip, still images, or still images with audio. Some menus have special drop zones where you can place videos or still images. Templates with drop zones contain a black drop area and an “Add Your Media Here” message. You can place videos and still images even if the menu does not have a drop zone. In this scenario, the media replaces the entire background. Some menus without drop zones have additional art that remains in front of your video. 1 In the Disc Menu panel, click the thumbnail of the menu

Use a template and see page 212 here:

This does not help. It will only allow me to drag and drop a disc menu theme. I simply want to use a photo as the disc menu with a simple "play" button.

Please help

Use a template.

Replace the background with your background.

Delete all else but the play button.
