Inserting the Images

Create a picture object by clicking the  icon on the overlay toolbar. Clicking on the object will select it. You can also select the object by clicking on the background and holding the mouse left button down and dragging a selection window around the object.

 

Use the mouse cursor to place and resize all the image placeholder on top of the demarcated area on the Weather Overlay background image.

 

 

Right click on the placeholder object and choose ‘Select File’.

 

 

Select all the files labelled ‘Weather’ by clicking on ‘Weather1.jpg’ and Shift Clicking ‘Weather6.jpg’.

 

 

Click ‘Open’. You will notice that Mediacaster Overlay designer will automatically create a slide show of the images chosen. With the Picture object selected, go to the property grid and change the ‘Duration’ to 5 seconds.

 

 

This will increase the time each image is shown in the slideshow to 5 seconds.
