You can add a color panel anywhere in your video production to add a menu or a break. You can choose any color and add text, a special effect, or an overlay to it, just as if it were a photo. The color panel is set at the duration you have set for your still images. Key Term Color panel A still frame in a video production or slideshow that is created by choosing a solid color for the background. It can be used to break up portions of the production or as a menu. A color panel has all the attributes of a still shot. It's also called a blank slide.
Tip At the very least, you should add a color panel to the beginning and end of your production; this creates the lead time needed to give the production a finished look.
