How do i get a project from iMovie 11 to idvd

I made an iMovie using 10.0.4.  How do I get it to iDVD so I can burn dvds with that movie on them? 
What do I do?  Share to File (whatever that is.)?
Thanks,
Hal

For iMovie 10 select 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  Do not move the movie file once it's been imported into the iDVD project.  Therefore place it where you plan on keeping it full time.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Can't get a project from iMovie to iDVD to burn

    I did this once before when I was making a test DVD and it worked very simply.  I shot about 50 min of video with my camera, downloaded it into iMovie and burned it to a CD-R from iDVD.  It played back perfectly on my DVD player.  Now that I'm trying to do it with a 2 hour video I shot, I cannot figure out how to get the (3 part) movie from iMovie to iDVD to burn?  It all seemed obvious the first time and now nothing is working. I have the almost 2 hour video saved in both my Event Library and Project Library but cannot figure out where to go from here.  Help!

    Share to Media Browser (large) then import into an iDVD project?

  • How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc

    How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc?

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    Hey SwimmingInSaline,
    Great question. The following resource outlines how to share a movie to iMovie Theater. If you have an iCloud account, movies you send to the Theater automatically appear on all your other devices, so you can easily watch your movies on your other computers, your iOS devices, and your Apple TV.

  • How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd?

    How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd to be able to play it on a dvd-player? Tried exporting it but when I burnt it, it doesn't work on the dvdplayer. There is no idvd on my new macbook pro and I'm new to both mac and iMovie.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD

  • Problems sharing project from iMovie to iDVD

    I understand that in order to share my project from iMovie to iDVD, I must go to Share > iDVD. I did this, then began adding a main menu and other details to my project in iDVD. Then I went to view the project. I discovered some errors I had made while editing the project in iMovie, so I quit iDVD and went back to iMovie to make the corrections.
    After I fixed my project, I went back to Share > iDVD to discover that iDVD had been grayed out. I have already tried:
    1. Restarting the computer
    2. Duplicating the project
    I have the latest versions of all the software (just bought my MacBook over the holidays). Help, please.

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem with imovie - did you ever resolve this problem?
    Thanks

  • How do i burn a project from imovie to a dvd

    i just finished editing my video project via imovie. i tried to burn it to a dvd as i would in a pc but i failed terribly, does anyone here know how to go about doing. i just want to burn the movie that i have made to a dvd so i can send it to the rightful ownner. please help.

    i just bought the new imac 2012 late release model
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.
    I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 on a Mac Pro with 2 DVD drives.

  • How do I get a movie from iMovie Library to Projects and Theatre for sharing? Please help?!

    I created a new movie with video clips, photos, sounds, etc. that is four minutes long. It shows within the iMovie Library, not All Projects or the Theatre, which I think is the problem. When I share just a short clip within the movie shares. Do I need to publish or export?

  • How to burn DVD with project from iMovie ?

    Last year I had made several iMovie projects on a macbook pro. I was unable to burn them to a dvd so I ended up transfering them to a Windows computer and using ImgBurn and I successfully made playable DVDs.
    I know have a Mac with Yosemite and I just finished a iMovie project. I need to burn it to a playable DVD. I've spent hours researching and trying to find a way. I have Video_TS and Audio_TS files, an iso file, and a mpg file. Surely, if you are able to create a "movie" there must be an easy way to burn it to a DVD?
    If a Superdrive is able to burn DVD's shouldn't there be an option somewhere?
    I have iMovie 10.0.6
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    I do not have iDVD

    I solved my own problem. After two full days of trying and having multiple videos files (iso, mp4, mpg,video_ts, audio_ts,etc) I was finally able to burn a playable DVD! I ended up using miDVD to burn it. I first exported my iMovie project as a file and opened up the Movies file and dropped it in there. From there it showed up in the miDVD program and it was super simple to get it burned to a dvd that works in dvd players and on my mac.

  • Trying to transfer project from imovie to idvd but keep getting error message - imovie quit unexpectedly

    I have created a dvd slideshow using iMovie.  Project is completed with music and now I want to be able to share using a dvd.  I can't transfer to idvd, imovie keeps shutting down when I try to transfer.  Any thoughts of how to handle?

  • How do I create a DVD from iMovie when iDVD is no longer included in iLife (Lion).

    I've been doing video editing for many years on PC using the Pinacle software. I have for years wanted to switch to a Mac that is known to be far better for this purpose than PC. A few days ago I bought an IMAC 27 inch, 3.1 MHz and was impressed with the Imovie program until I was going to burn the project onto a DVD as I had read about and explained in all Apple stores I've visited.
    I realize to my great surprise that in the Lion version is no longer possible to burn a DVD using IDVD as mentioned in the help menu and in the Appel documentation online. I have tried with various other applications as well with no success. It is completely incomprehensible that Appel actually has removed this option from Ilife (IDVD) and I feel cheated.
    I have now spoken with three different people from the support and none of them can give me a good explanation of how to burn an Imovie project onto DVD with this new operating system (which actually is a basic need). All documentation I find on internet and in the help section refers to iDVD, which is not included in Lion, and it does not even appear that I can buy the program separately. The new operating system is marketed as an improvement and this I find misleading advertising when such a basic need as creating a DVD is no longer possible (or extremely complicated). I do not experience that I have received the product I have been informed about in several stores and on Apple's website and considering of course to raise the entire purchase.
    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD? I want to create both a DVD frontpage and chapters as I have been doing on my pc for years.

    Does anybody know how to do this without iDVD?
    You can't.  You MUST buy iDVD.
    Tell Apple how you feel.  They do read these comments, and often react.  Be nice.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    (On the above link, you will notice under Mac apps they do indeed show, iDVD!)
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $29. You WILL get iDVD.
    or if you like downloads, go to the Apple Store via the Store button at the top, (not the App Store) and look for iLife 11 it will list iWeb and iDVD.  It IS available online.

  • Import project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9

    How can I import a project from iMovie 10.0.1 in the Final Cat Pro X 10.0.9?
    If the file before the project was in the ' Movies ' folder, now there is no such file. There's only ' Library iMove ', but no file that can be moved in the Final Cat Pro.

    Thanks for your confirmation!  It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
    I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips.  I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
    BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project.  There is no way to send the clip without associated to project.  Anyone can confirm it?

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

    First, you need to send the project to iTunes:
