DVDA – how to rotate an image? – possible?
Posted by Gilles Gagnon on January 21, 2014 at 1:44 pmHi gang,
I’m creating a menu for a DVD. I inserted an image but now want to rotate it a bit, that is, put it on an slight angle.When I select the image, I see the handles for resizing and the surrounding box for repositioning but alas, I can’t seem to find a way to rotate it.
Is this possible?

January 21, 2014 at 2:17 pmThanks Graham,
My editor comes up as Paint and I can only rotate by 90 degrees.
Any ideas?Gilles

January 21, 2014 at 2:19 pmGet yourself a Graphics package that will allow you to do a bit more than Paint – yes? I just did this in PSP3 – dead easy.

I saw the association to any graphic editor in prefs-Video.I was really hoping for an in-DVDA solution, like grabbing a corner handle and rotating, like rotating a video in Vegas’ crop tool.
Using an external graphic editor is OK but for fine tuning the angle, takes a few steps. I know, I know, I’m being particular 😉

Change the default in DVDA to that.
This is found under Options – Preferences -Video -

January 21, 2014 at 2:24 pmYes I do Mike… doing that right now.
See my previous post though re: wishing for more direct approach. 🙂But… What Graham suggested will have to do.
Thanks!Gilles

Silly software 🙂 -

January 21, 2014 at 2:46 pmThanks guys, that’s what I’ve done. Perhaps the next version of DVDA will offer built-in image/text rotation.
Hmmmmm….Gilles
