Is it possible without specialized authoring software, to show a small image when you hover or active a menu button as in DVD / BD professionals ? Normally not in Pinnacle/AVID Studio ! However it can be done with Pinnacle Studio associated with Gimp (and also with AVID Studio with some tricks)...

A little trick revealed by Tiwa, to mimic this feature called "highlight", was actually put into practice in this tutorial, as a complement to the tutorial "An introduction leading to the menu"

To see the tutorial : "Making professional menu with highlight buttons"
