Making a Magic iDVD

2
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:07,741
A Hollywood style DVD

3
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:11,144
is a great way to share your memories
with friends and family

4
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:15,815
and Magic iDVD makes it easy
to create your very own DVD.

5
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:19,319
When you first open iDVD

6
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:21,621
click the "Magic iDVD" button

7
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:24,624
and your DVD is started.

8
00:00:24,624 --> 00:00:26,526
The first thing to do is to type in a title

9
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:30,030
that you want to appear
on the main menu screen,

10
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,866
then choose one of the many beautiful themes

11
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:37,037
to set the overall look of your DVDs menus.

12
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:39,139
Don't worry though you can change the theme

13
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:42,542
at any time you're building your Magic iDVD.

14
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:46,446
The next step is to add movies
and photos to your DVD.

15
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:50,016
On the right of the Magic iDVD window
is the media browser

16
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:52,152
we can find your music,

17
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:53,720
your photos

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,355
and your movies.

19
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:59,025
To preview a movie, just select it

20
00:00:59,025 --> 00:01:03,530
and then click the play button.

21
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:06,900
Click play again to stop a preview.

22
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,302
To add a movie to your Magic iDVD

23
00:01:09,302 --> 00:01:12,672
just drag it from the media browser
to the movies drop well.

24
00:01:12,672 --> 00:01:14,741

25
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,943
click "Photos".

You can drag and single photos at a time

27
00:01:18,978 --> 00:01:20,447
to create a slideshow

28
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:23,450
or you can even drag in an entire event.

29
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,352
As a finishing touch you can add
music to your slideshow

30
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:29,689
by clicking "Audio" and drag music
to the photos well

31
00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:32,692
where you've dropped your photos.

32
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:34,461
The speaker icon in the photo well

33
00:01:34,461 --> 00:01:36,463
tells you that music has been added.

34
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,432
Once you've added your movies and photos

35
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:40,867
click the "Preview" button

36
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:42,702
and iDVD will show you exactly

37
00:01:42,702 --> 00:01:46,039
how your final DVD will look.

38
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:48,475
The movies and photos that you added
appears as menu

39
00:01:48,475 --> 00:01:50,610
choices on the main menu screen

40
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:55,148
and you can play them to see exactly
what they look like.

41
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:59,819
When you're done previewing just click the "exit"
button on the iDVD remote control

42
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:04,457
and you're taken back to your
Magic iDVD project.

When you're happy with your Magic iDVD

44
00:02:06,926 --> 00:02:08,528
click the "Burn" button

45
00:02:08,528 --> 00:02:11,498
and insert a blank disc into your Mac.

When the burn is complete

47
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:14,834
