DVDA Studio 2 - show video clip before main menu?

I'm working on a video project in DVD Architect Studio 2.0 and would like to show a little video clip that plays after the DVD starts but before the main menu comes up. Lots of Hollywood DVDs have these, sometimes in the form of previews of other films or just a small introduction clip.

I can't figure out how to do anything other than the main menu when the DVD starts up. Can anyone offer some help?

It'd be nice to have a manual for this software, but I guess us downloaders don't have that option :(

Click on the project properties button in the toolbar (by memory, I think it looks like and index card with a hand).

The option to add an intro clip is there. If your inro clip has sound and the sound is encoded on the MPEG2 file, you must add the MPEG2 file to both the video and audio box.

As far as the manual - It came on the free CD they sent me when I purchased the download. If you did not get the option to recieve a CD when you downloaded your software, call Sony and they might be able to send you one. It incudes some stock content (Sony Vision Series backdrops) that were not on the version 3 CD, which is nice.

If you need the manual right away - post your e-mail address and I can send it to you (1.7 MB PDF).
