I'm a new user of PowerDirector and I'm making my first disc. I had expected that the chapter thumbnails I set while editing my video would be used as thumbnails on the menu buttons for each of the chapters. Instead, a video is displaying on the button. That video appears to begin with the frame I chose as my chapter thumbnail. This causes several different problems. In somce cases scrolling text from the video clip appears on the button. In other cases, the button image fades into another scence because my thumbnail was near the end of a clip.

Is there a way to prevent the thumbnail button from displaying a video and just have it display the single frame that I selected as the chapter thumbnail image?

Not directly.

What you can do is cover the thumbnails with your own images, and those images can be snapshots captured from your video at the chapter markers.

Since the text doesn't glow, and you're hiding the thumbnails, you won't get that glowing effect unless you meticulously size your images to cover the thumbnail but not the glow.
