One way to do this is to create a flat rectangle object and apply your jpg as an image texture to the object.

Hope that helps.

it does paste the pic as texture on the object, but in a tiled manner with instead of a single pic...any suggestions? Also, any idea how to pause an animation in 3.5? I don't see how to add keyframes after the end of the timeline to pad it and allow one to have a freezed title for a few seconds.

With Cool3d 3.5 you would need to use the mapping icons at the bottom to resize the texture so that it is no longer tiled. These icons show up when you select object style/texture in the EasyPalette.

Padding a project with additional frames at the end or beginning is a feature that only exists in the Cool3D production studio version I'm afraid. About the ony thing you can do in the 3.5 version is note the position of all of your keyframes, increase the total number of frames in your project by the desired amount then move all of your keyframes back to their original position (a real pain I know).

Hope that helps.
