A scenarist Questio about importing any slide file

[Sherlock_2]

Hi guys
I searched the forum but I couldn't find my answer.
When a slide imported , scenarist asks that is a Still show , slide show , still menu. What is difference between these three things ?
Thanks in advance

Scenarist doesn't actually KNOW that your still image is intended to be a slide until you tell it that - that's why it asks you if it's meant for a menu or a slideshow.

A slideshow would have the stills placed sequentially in a 'video track', with playback playing them sequentially without user input.

A still menu is simply a standard menu with buttons but no 'animated' video background.

ok , but what does "Still show" do ?

It's just a still image with a certain duration

@ Sherlock_2 :
In case you're still wondering, here's what it says in Scenarist help:

"A slide show track consists of a series of still images, each of which have their own display duration. Slide shows can have audio and subpicture streams. A still show track consists of a series of still images, each of which remains on-screen until the viewer presses a key on the remote control. Still shows cannot have audio or subpicture streams.

"Still menu tracks consist of a still image background, a superimposed subpicture, and button highlights. Still menu tracks cannot contain audio streams. If you want a menu track to contain an audio stream, you must create it as a slide show track."
