A button for your slideshow appears in the Main Menu rename the button if you wish. The Media pane opens.Ĭlick the Photos button at the top of the Media pane.ĭrag your iPhoto album from the Media pane to the Main Menu. Why do we do this? More complex themes can become competing slideshows in themselves they seem better suited for movies.Ĭlick the Media button in the lower right-hand corner of the iDVD window. We would pick a simple one, like Main from the 5.0 Themes. Pick the theme you want for the main menu page.Click the Themes button in the lower right-hand corner of the iDVD window.Why do this? Because we will give instructions to make your slideshow’s duration match your song’s duration, and songs have their own fadeouts. Leave the checkbox for “Fade volume out at end of slideshow” unchecked.(Note: Slideshows created in iPhoto do not have this option another reason to create slideshows in iDVD.) Why do this? When friends say they would love to have a copy of a photo in the slideshow, they can put the DVD into their computer, navigate to the DVD-ROM Contents folder, and copy those photos onto their computer. Check the “Always add original photos to DVD-ROM contents” checkbox.We prefer to remove that border (uncheck), even if the photos get cropped a little.

Uncheck the “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.” Why do this? The TV safe area adds a large black border to all the photos in your slideshow.

Open iDVD preferences and click the Slideshow icon. Set iDVD Preferences: Scale Slides and Add Original Photos The new iDVD project shows the Main Menu on the left, and a pane for Themes, Menu, Buttons, and Media on the right. Name the project, and store it where you wish. Open iDVD and click the “Create a New Project” button. (For longer slideshows, you are more likely to create the playlist after you create the slideshow we mention this in the “Select the audio” instructions.) List the songs in the order you want them played.

If you want to have more than one song in your slideshow, open iTunes and create a playlist containing the songs.

If the song you want for the slideshow is not in iTunes, add it.Make sure they’re in the order you want them to display in the slideshow. Open iPhoto and create an album containing all the photos you want in your slideshow.Put Your Photos and Music into iPhoto and iTunes And here’s another reason to use iDVD: We can include our original photos on the DVD for easy sharing. The slideshow wouldn’t export if it had more than 30 photos in it - our Macs just froze. Why do we use iDVD instead of iPhoto to do this? We tried creating slideshows using iPhoto with our 800MHz G4 iBook (1 GB of RAM and a SuperDrive), and with a 1.5 GHz G4 desktop.
