► HOW DO I ADD A LOGO?
You can create and install your own logo, or have our trained staff do it for you.
Do-it-yourself - You will need to create a logo in PNG format with dimensions of 150 pixels wide by 100 pixels high. Use a 72 dpi resolution and a transparent background. Name this file “logo.png”. Next, copy this logo file into your C:\Program Files\timelesstributes Creator\skins\TributeLogo directory – replacing the logo.png file that is already there.
Let us help - Email us a copy of your logo and we will edit and touch up your logo for you. Or, if you do not have a logo we will create a text logo for you. We will then email you a link to a logo installer created just for you. The cost of this service is only $50. Email info@timeless-tributes.com for more information.

► HOW DO I CREATE A TEXT ONLY SLIDE?
Use the Blank Photo. It is located in the C:\VideoTributes\Photos directory. The file name is “Blank_Photo.png”. This is a transparent photo that enables you to show the background while presenting meaningful text on a slide. You can insert the blank photo as many times as you like to create multiple text slides.
*NOTE: Make sure that you have chosen a Background through the Tools>Custom button, or your caption will not appear.
► HOW DO I USE VIDEO INTERLUDES?
Video Interludes are short video clips that you strategically place throughout your show. Use Interludes to create elegant caption-screens or create an aesthetic respite. If you haven't watched the Video Interludes sample video, take a few minutes and view it now. You can find the sample video here http://www.timeless-tributes.com/us/interludes.html
• To insert a video interlude, click on the Photo button (lower left hand corner), and you will find them under c:/VideoTributes/Video_Interludes. To view the Interludes, you'll need to change the "Files of type" to .swf (flash file) Click on the video interlude you wish to use and then click on Open.
• Treat the video interlude like any other picture. Move them to the location you want them to appear in your show. If you want to repeat the same video interlude in your show, COPY & PASTE it like any other picture.
• You can then add a caption to the video interlude the same way you add a caption to a photo.
*TIP: Use a video interlude such as the "Sunray" as the introduction slide and add the caption "In Memory of..." It makes for a very professional introduction.
