That is a little bit difficult, depends on if you have Photoshop and how comfortable you are with it.
It is best to start with a template that only has text buttons and make changes to that.

Steve will probably have some tips on editing the template, he's been doing them for years now.

Thanks, Robert. That's probably the easiest solution!

Otherwise, yes, you can open the DVD template in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements and enter the layer set folders on the Layers palette and manually delete the thumbnails.

I go into more detail on working with these layer sets in my Steve's tips article and in my Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements 7 book.

Check out "Customizing a DVD Template, Step by Step" in the Muvipix store:
