Create a Slideshow
You can use iDVD to create a slideshow from a group of pictures and add a soundtrack to it. You
can even let viewers copy the pictures in the slideshow from the DVD using the DVD-ROM
contents feature.
To add a slideshow:
1
With the Extras menu visible, click the Slideshow button at the bottom of the iDVD window. A
button named “My Slideshow” appears on the menu.
2
Select the text on the button and type “Snow Day Pictures.”
3
In the Customize drawer, click Settings.
4
Choose the oval button shape from the Style pop-up menu [A] in the Button section of the
Settings pane to change from a text to an image button.
5
Select Free Position [B], then drag the button where you want it, within the TV safe area.
6
Choose Bottom from the Position pop-up menu [C] and White from the Color pop-up menu [D].
Adjust the button position, if necessary.
7
Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.
8
Select and drag all the pictures from the Pictures folder in the iDVD Tutorial folder to the
slideshow editor.
Note:
If you want to create a slideshow using photos in your iPhoto library, you can drag a photo
album or a group of pictures from the Photos pane (in the Media pane of the Customize drawer)
to the slideshow editor. For more information about this, see “Creating an iDVD slideshow” in
iDVD Help.
9
Choose Droplet from the Transition pop-up menu [A].
10
Drag the file “Prevailing Winds 2’09.m4a” from the Audio folder in the iDVD Tutorial folder to the
Audio well [B] in the slideshow editor. Notice that the slideshow duration changes, depending on
how long the music is. Hold the pointer over the Audio well to see how long the music is. The
Slide Duration pop-up menu is automatically set to “Fit to Audio.”
Note:
If you want to add music from your iTunes library to the slideshow, you can drag a playlist
or a group of songs from the Audio pane (in the Media pane of the Customize drawer) to the
Audio well to add it to your slideshow. For more information about this, see “Adding audio to a
slideshow” in iDVD Help.
