iDVD Tutorial

Note: If you have not imported photos into iPhoto, you will not see photos in this list.
You can open iPhoto now and import some photos (to see the images in the Photos
pane, switch to another view of the Media pane view and then switch back to Photos)
or you can drag photos directly from other locations on your hard disk to the slideshow
editor.

6

Drag photos one at a time or in groups from the images list to the slideshow editor.
You can even drag a whole album to the slideshow editor.

7

Arrange the images in the order you want them to appear.

Drag the images in the slideshow editor to arrange them. To delete images, select the
ones you want to remove and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

8

Add a transition so the images in your slideshow flow smoothly from one to the next.
Click the Transition pop-up menu and experiment with the transitions in the menu
until you find one you want to use.

9

Click Settings, shown above, and make any other creative decisions you like using the
other settings in the slideshow editor.

 To make the slideshow repeat continuously, select “Loop slideshow.”
 To show navigation arrows on the slideshow, select “Display navigation arrows.”
 To add copies of the original slides to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc, select “Add

image files to DVD-ROM.”

 To hide the title and comments text below the images, deselect “Show titles and

comments.” It’s OK to leave these on even if you don’t add titles or comments below
your images. Only what you type will be visible in your slideshow.

10

Click the Audio button at the top of the Media pane to add a soundtrack for your
slideshow.

The contents of your iTunes library and any music you composed in GarageBand are
shown in the audio list. If you don’t see any music in the audio list, make sure you have
imported music into iTunes.

Tip: You can type the name of a song in the search box to quickly locate a particular
song. Click the Play button at the bottom of the Media pane to listen to a song before
you add it to your DVD.
