iDVD Tutorial

You can edit submenus just as you can the main menu. For example, you may want to
change the text on the button labels to make it fit better. You change button label text
just like you changed the text in the main menu title. Later in this tutorial you’ll learn
how to change the shape of buttons and the images on them.

Step Five: Add a Slideshow

A slideshow is a great way to show your photographs. You can use a slideshow you
created in iPhoto, or you can use iDVD to create a slideshow from a group of pictures.
In this step, you’ll create a slideshow of photographs in iDVD and add a soundtrack.

To create a slideshow in iDVD:

1

If the main menu is not showing, click the Back button (the arrow on the menu) to
return to the main menu.

2

Click the Add button at the bottom of the iDVD window and choose Add Slideshow
from the pop-up menu. A button named “My Slideshow” appears on the menu.

Did You Know?—Manually Adding a New Submenu

A menu can only hold up to 12 buttons, so if your DVD requires more than 12 buttons,
you can create submenus to hold them. You can also use submenus to organize your
DVD into sections. For example, if you want viewers to be able to view scenes, extras,
and additional movies or slideshows, you can create submenus to hold buttons that
link to them.

To add a submenu:

m

Make sure the menu where you want to add a submenu is showing, then click the
Add button (shown below) and choose Add Submenu from the pop-up menu.

A button labeled “My Submenu” appears. The new submenu will have the same
theme as the menu it links from. You can keep the theme, customize it, or choose
another theme.
