Thumbnail choice when burning multiple projects in one create disk

I started a new project, went straight to the Create Disk and added five PowerDirector project files that I want to make up my disk. After adding them, the program seems to pick a random image from the first 10 seconds of each as the thumbnail preview for the disk menu. Each of the projects themselves are short and have single chapters with nominated thumbnails but PD10 seems to ignore the chapter thumbnail images when importing these videos.

Can anyone please help me understand how I change these thumbnails? I have attached a screenshot with my cursor over the thumbnail I want to change and the chapter thumbnail expanded below that I want it to be.

Many thanks,
Rob

Hi,
Not sure if this is what you are after and if I can remember the exact steps. go to 'content tab' and from the set of imported videos expand the chapter menu I think from there you can assign the image you wish to show as 'chapter image', you can also rename the chapters from there.

Jim, indeed, I have set the chapter thumbnails but they are ignored when the chapters of the disk are actually different PD projects. It seems there are no options to set the project thumbnail... Have I found something else to moan about the menu creator lol? AMD Phenom II X6 1100XT
