How to export completed project to DVD?

I've recently returned to the Mac world based on jobs and have compiled a birthday video for my father in law.  We are supposed to give him this video as a gift tomorrow night but I did the recent update to my iMovie and now am having trouble using the program.
Can anyone help me figure out how to burn my completed project to DVD?  Under my Share command, the options listed are Theater, Email, iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN iReport and File.  Any suggestions?  I tried saving it under the "File" option and then importing it to iDVD but it looks like the file saves as an mp4, which doesn't want to import to iDVD.
Would love any help that can be provided!

First enter the DVD into the computer. Then go into "Share", click "Export Movie", and then find the DVD on the desktop or wherever it is on your computer and it'll export.
BUT
As I see it - there are two KIND's of DVDs
_ Data-DVD - to store files - Can not be played in any Standard DVD-player - and this is done on desktop/finder
_ Video-DVD - for movies to be played on standard DVD-Players - and to structure and en-code this one NEED a DVD-authoring program as iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Roxio Toast™, Burn etc.
So What kind of DVD do You need ?
And if iMovie'13 (ver. 10.0.x) has NOT changed this. The Share to DVD will result in a Data-DVD (I do not have last version of iMovie to test - hench why I make this remark) but this goes for all iMovie till iMovie'11 (ver. 9.0.x).

  • In simple steps. How to go from project to DVD

    Ok I have 4 books and live rural... and its all greek... Once I have the project done... how do I get it to DVD in the best quality with the built in systems.
    Just the facts please and thanks

    I don't know what Mac you have. But I assume you have a Superdrive to burn DVDs...
    Then when the FCE HD project is completed:
    - make sure you render all (opt-R) and mixdown the audio (opt-cmd-R)
    - if you want to see chapters in the DVD: set markers in the timeline where you want chapters: open the dialog of each marker (m), write the chapter name and click on botton Add chapter marker.
    - File/Export/QuickTime Movie: select Include: Audio and Video, Markers: Chapter Markers, deselect Make Movie Self-Contained (if selected it takes longer, it uses more disk space, but it makes the movie independent)
    - use iDVD that comes with your Mac (if with Superdrive...) to make the DVD
    - make sure the basic preferences are OK (PAL/NTSC, use Best Quality, etc.)
    - select a Theme you like
    - Import the movie exported from FCE
    - now, it all depends on your willingness to personalize menus and the theme you selected: you can leave the standard menus or you can personalize them.
    - when ready, burn the DVD directly, or better make a Disk Image first: you can check the results on your Mac before real burning (then you must use DiskUtility to burn the image).
    These are the basic and minimal steps: they might seem many but in facts the longest time is the time iDVD takes to prepare the Image itself.
    Obviously there are other options: using other DVD authoring programs, burning on external devices, if you don't have Superdrive, etc.
    But these are the ... facts.

  • How to export AE Projects to Adobe Premiere?

    I want to color correct my videos. How can I transport my color corrected videos to Premiere? What do I export it as? I tried both AE project and Adobe Premiere Project and they both don't work. Thanks!

    Here's a page that outlines the various ways to exchange data between After Effects and Premiere Pro.
    When you export a project or use copy and paste, aspects of an After Effects project have to be converted into Premiere Pro project features, or vice versa. This conversion is far from complete, and it's not intended for perfect fidelity. This page has tables to show what is converted and how.
    If you want perfect fidelity, you need to either use Dynamic Link or render and export an intermediate movie.

  • How to Export Catalog to Multiple DVD

    Question.
    My main catalog has a shoot of about 1500 photos from a swim meet we covered.  I would like to move these photos off the harddrive and onto DVDs and free up some space.  I would really like to export these photos as a catalog because we did some edits on them and sorted them into different groups.
    My problem is that everytime I try to do this it results in a catalog of over 12-15GB of information and do to its size it will not fit on a single DVD and I do not know how to make the catalog span over multiple DVDs.  If anyone has a suggestion please let me know
    Thanks
    Bil M

    When you Export a number of images to CD/DVD Lightroom will automatically let you now how many discs are needed.
    Your particular case seems to be, how to get the catalog on the discs aswell.
    Try this.
    Export all files to DVD via the usual export dialog. Now that you have a number of discs create a new catalog.
    Catalog the discs and then burn that catlog to cd.
    The result is a master cd with catalog and previews (very quick for one to flip through) and a selection of DVDs to which the catalog refers.

  • How to export my movie to DVD?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am ready to export my first ever movie to DVD but I have some doubts. Can I use a simple portable dvd writer connected to my laptop and export the final movie through CS6 or do I need a dvd program or software to filter the project through on my laptop and then export the project. I don't want to cut any corners especially if it is going to compromise the quality of the movie. Can anyone help?
    Mike Diaz

    Export MPEG2-DVD from PPro, and then use the bundled Encore CS6 to author your DVD... you import TWO files (audio and video) from your export
    The PPro/Encore tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 may also help, with more help in message #5

  • How to export HD-project to .avi including HD-quality and timecodes

    Hi,
    I have an iMovie HD 6 project that I have imported from my Sony HDR-HC3 HD video camera. The project is a HD-1080i-25 project. I want to export this project to an AVI keeping the HD quality (same quality as the DV-tape). What settings should I use to make this happen? I don’t want to export it as a QuickTime .mov file but as an .AVI file that I am able to play in a media player that supports HD. I also want to keep the 16:9 format and timecodes. One other purpose with this file is as a backup (if the DV-tape should be damaged) so it must be possible to import it into iMovie again if that should be necessary.
    Is all this possible?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jarle

    Your best option is to export to .dv using the Full Quality DV preset. It will preserve all quality including the timecode.
    On the other hand the Expert export settinngs of iMovie 5 and 6 are buggy because exporting via the expert settings as a DV stream or .avi deinterlaces video and loses the timestamp!!
    Workarounds: Export .dv via the Full Quality preset (this is more convenient anyway). Exporting as .dv (or DV-encoded .avi) via QuickTime Player Pro also preserves interlacing and timecode.
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#expertsettings
    If you export via QuickTime Player Pro, then use the following settings:
    Export: Movie to DV Stream
    DV Format: DV
    Video format: PAL (I am European)
    Scan: Interlaced (notice that this option only sets the corresponding flag -- it does not do ANYTHING else to the video!)
    Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (this options also sets the corresponding flag so other apps can properly treat the file)
    Audio Format Rate: 48.000 kHz (I believe there is not much difference between locked vs unlocked audio -- unlocked seems to be the default)

  • How do i export a project to DVD

    I've got a project of a photo shoot of a family.  I would like to export to a DVD from my iMac...to my MacBook Pro which actually has a drive.  I cannot find a simply "export to DVD" option.  What am I missing?

    You're not missing anything, there is no export to DVD option.
    What is it you are trying to do, just burn images to a DVD or make a video DVD of a slide show?
    If it is the first, just burn a DVD with images from Aperture you will export the images from Aperture as you normally do and place them in a folder, then using Finder burn the folder to the DVD.
    If you are looking to make a video DVD post back as it is more involved.

  • How to export subtitles create in DVD Studio Pro into a Quicktime file?

    Hi,
    My film was edited in Final Cut, then exported to DVD Studio Pro to make dvds. Subtitles were added in DVD Studio Pro.
    I need now to make a Quicktime file of the film for web streaming and the file still needs to include the subtitles (or the option to make them appear)
    but how can I export the subtitles (dvd studio pro type of files) to my Quicktime file, for streaming?
    I read that this is possible but how?
    Please help!!
    Thanks!
    Paula

    A DVD uses VOBSUB aka. idx/sub format subtitles which are bitmap images. QuickTime itself does not support this format but Perian can sort of allow them to work. However firstly Perian is Mac only, and secondly I would not expect this work in a web-browser. In fact I don't think there is anyway to control subtitles in a web-browser.
    If you have the subtitles in a text format, preferably .SRT format, then you may have more options but again I would think you would still have problem in a web-browser.
    In general terms, the best utility for adding text subtitles to a QuickTime compatible file is iSubtitle details are available here http://www.bitfield.se/isubtitle/index.html
    What would be possible would be to 'burn' permenantly the image of the subtitles in to the video. This means they would always be visisble even in a web-browser but could not be turned off. You would also be limited to a single language. There are several tools that could do this including Handbrake (to convert directly from the DVD), and SubMerge also from Bitfield.
    There are some tools for Windows that use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert the bitmap subtitles in to text ones.

  • How can export on CD or DVD only edited photo in iPhoto

    How can I export on disk (CD or DVD) only edited photos in iPhoto11? When I going to Share-Burn, all masters, edited, thumbnails etc. was exported what makes big mess if I going to print some of them.

    The Share  ==> burn command makes a mini iphoto library for use by iPhoto which includes multiple versions for the photos - for other uses export the photos to a desktop folder and burn that folder to CD/DVD

  • How to export imovie project into current idvd project

    I currently have an idvd project that I have added lots of extra stuff to (slide shows, backgrounds, menus, etc.) I'd now like to add another movie to it from imovie that I have added chapter markers to, so it will run as a separate movie with chapters in idvd.
    Can this be done?

    Yes.
    In iMovie export the movie to the Media Browser and it will appear in the media selection area in iDVD.
    Just drag it into your DVD project.

  • Export PP project - Build DVD in Encore

    I have a quick and hopefully easy question. I imported my footage into PP as HDV 1080i 29.97 and have completed the editing I wanted to do. I'll be making a few hundred DVD copies of this and am stuck on the best settings next. Obviously I want this to be as best looking as possible when viewed on a television and have heard using Adobe Encoder is the best. I guess there's a few questions I have. Should I use Adobe Encoder? What's the best settings to use? I see MPEG2 and MPEG2-DVD, what's the difference?
    I know to keep the frame rate the same at 29.97, but what's better for importing to Encore & making a DVD, non-drop or drop? Does the field order matter? I assume leaving the bitrate settings alone at 4, 15 & 18.5 would be fine.
    Once I do get this imported into Encore, what are the best settings to use when Building the DVD?
    I know I'm asking alot with these questions and I've really been researching and trying to learn as much as I can. If anyone could help with these questions I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    So remove the override on the play all button on the main menu (that you added to see if that would work).
    At this point, you do not appear to have end actions on your chapters, correct? I assume you removed them. And you do not get the warning about the "timeline end action will not execute because there's an end action on the final chapter"?
    With the override removed, this flow should work fine - except that when you play a chapter from the submenu, it will play Hollywood style - when that chapter ends, it will go on to the next chapter, etc. That is what many people want. If that is okay, you are about done.
    If not, use option 3 above. You have 6 chapters. You will create six chapter playlists, each with only one of the six chapters.
    Your buttons may be in an odd order, but that will not affect the functioning.

  • HOw to export a project so that it can be put on youtube and still be in HD?

    I export it into quicktime and when I try to share it to youtube it always says "unable to read project". PLEASE HELP!

    When you open StreamClip the File Menu has the option to Open Files.  Choose this for the Quicktime file that you exported from FCE.  Then choose the MP4 output with the HD specs appropriate.  It should make an mp4 movie that YouTube will accept as HD.

  • How to burn imovie project on dvd

    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.

    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.

    IDVD is very popular in the Apple community. The latest Macintoshes and Mac OSs are tested for compatibility with iDVD.
