4 iDVD Tutorial
Add a Movie With Chapter Markers
After you have chosen your theme, you can add movies to your iDVD project.The movie you’ll
add to this project contains
chapter markers , which identify the start of each scene in the movie.
(You add chapter markers in the video-editing software you use to create your movie.) When you
drop a movie with chapter markers onto the menu, iDVD recognizes the chapter markers and
automatically creates scene selection menus with buttons that link to each of the chapters.
To add a movie with chapter markers:
1 Drag the movie Our First Snowman.mov from the Movies folder in the iDVD Tutorial folder to the
menu. Be sure to drag the movie to an area outside of the drop zone. The title of the menu
changes to the name of the movie. iDVD automatically creates two buttons on the menu: a Play
Movie button [A], so the viewer can play the entire movie, and a Scene Selection button [B] that
links to the scene selection menu.
2 Double-click the Scene Selection button to open the scene menu. You see a button for each
chapter in the movie. The button names match the names assigned to the different chapters.
3 Click the theme named Kids Theater 2 in the Themes pane of the Customize drawer to select it as
the theme of the scene menu. This theme was designed to be used as a submenu with the Kids
Theater theme. The buttons now have images on them that match the thumbnails set in the
video-editing software.
4 In the Customize drawer, click Settings.
5 Drag the audio file “Cat Briar Road 0’32.m4a” from the Audio folder in the iDVD Tutorial folder to
the Audio well in the Settings pane to set the background audio for the scene menu.
