I am using PE 14.1 with Windows 7. I added the Family Memories movie menu to a project. This menu includes a drop zone on the Main Menu Page. I am trying to add a still image to the drop zone. It is my understanding when you click on the drop zone a dialogue box should open that will prompt you to browse and select the image.for the drop zone. When I click on the drop zone no dialogue box appears. Am I incorrect on the steps to place an image in the drop zone? What am I missing? Joe
I don't understand these steps:
Why are you left-clicking and dragging the image to the Adjustments panel? After you select the option to Browse to replace the background (Drop Zone) media, you simply select the media file and click the Open button. You don't drag it from the browse screen.

As I show you in my book, when you select the Drop Zone, the option to Replace the video and/or audio appears in the Adjustments panel.

Steve,
I should have said this in my original post. When I single-click the drop zone the bounding box appears. When I double-click the drop zone the "Change Text" dialogue box appears to edit the "Add Your Media Here" text. An option never appears to insert a still image into the drop zone. Expanding the adjustment panel opens the dialogue to replace the entire main menu background/audio, not the drop zone contents. Is the menu not functioning properly? Should the option to insert media into the drop zone appear after a single click? Thanks Joe

I should also add that the adjustment to replace the main menu background is not working either. Displaying the Main Menu page, then opening the adjustment panel for the main menu background, then in the Video or Still section browsing to a jpg image, selecting it and attempting to drag it to the "Drag Media Here" box is blocked by the operation not permitted symbol (circle with slash through it). Do drop zone images have certain size/resolution requirements?

The option to replace the background of a menu template is actually an option to replace the Drop Zone. Try it and you'll see.

I did try to replace the background. When attempting to drag the media to the "Drag Media Here" box the operation is blocked, a circle with slash through it icon is displayed. I also tried the same operation on a different project, with a different menu template, with the same result. What am I missing? Joe

I'm not sure, Joe. But it does work if you do it right.

I can't agree more, it should work if you do it right. My frustration is that as far as I can tell I'm doing everything right, but it still doesn't work.
The steps I'm following;
Isn't this the right process? If not, what am I doing wrong? What does it mean when the circle/slash icon appears?
Thanks Joe

Well duuuhhh. Works like a charm. I was left-clicking and dragging because that's what the box in the adjustments panel says, "Drag Media Here". To me opening is not the same as dragging. But it will be from now on!
Thanks Joe
