594 22. Creating Output for the PC

The Info URL and Link Text fields are where you can enter your contact
information. Once the Executable expires by date, runs, or if the viewer
doesn’t have a password, they will see this information to contact you
about how to keep viewing the show.

Now that you know how to configure and adjust your Executable for the
best possible results let’s move on to the Branding options.

Branding

The options found in the Branding tab allow you to create your own
custom loading screen and information for the executable. When creating
DVD, Blu-ray, or Video CD discs, you can only adjust the branding options if
you have enabled an executable on your disc.

Show Startup Screen

Checking this option box will show the startup screen. This is the small
window that appears while your EXE is loading and prepares to display a
show. Depending on the size of your show and the speed of the computer
being used, this screen may be visible for only a few moments, or it may be
visible for some time.

The startup screen consists of a background image that controls the size
and general look of the screen, a progress bar that shows the status as the
show loads, and some text to tell the user that the show is being loaded.

Once you have turned on the startup screen, you can click the Source
button to choose your own image background to use. If the image is too
large, ProShow will automatically resize it to fit. Logos or other business
branding images work well here. If you are creating an image to use as the
startup screen, be sure to leave room for the progress bar.
