How to make dvd on new iMovie

I just realized that the new iLife does not include iDVD.  Does anyone have any advice on how to make a DVD of a slideshow trailer I made in iMovie.  I guess Apple decided that making DVDs is obsolete.  Unfortunately my 90 yo Grandma does not think so and she would love to see the Birthday slideshow we made for her on a DVD player or laptop. 
Alternatively, how do I move the iDVD software from my old iMac (OSX 10.5.8) to my new iMac (with Lion)?  I just tried burning the application onto a DVD (drag the iDVD icon to a disc) and transferring it that way but somehow it didn't bring over the themes and I was not able to use it on my new iMac.

Do you still have the install disk with iDVD7 on it? That would be the only way to install it on your new iMac.
Otherwise you will have to purchase iLife 11 - soon before they stop selling it!

  • How to make dvd in imovie 10

    How can i make a dvd with/ in imovie 10 (maverick)?
    Jacco

    In iMovie 10 go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it to).
    Wait until the Activity Indicator shows that the sharing process is complete.
    Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you created earlier. It will bring the video into your iDVD project. Prepare your DVD project and when you're ready, click the "Burn" button.
    iDVD is no longer officially supported by Apple, but it still works great.

  • How to make titles lowercase in iMovie?

    Hi guys,
    I have inserted a title in iMovie but I don't know how to make it lowercase. All the letters are all CAPS! How can I change this?
    Thanks!

    Not all titles can be edited.   If you click on the title and then on the "T" above the viewer Font controls appear underneath.  Non-changebale properties appear greyed out and you may find that all you type comes out as capitals.  You have probably chosen a title which can't be changed in which case the solution is to try another one which can be modified the way you want.

  • How to make a menu in IMovie

    I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?

    I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
    For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay.  Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
    You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
    By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

  • How to make DVDs with Premiere Pro CC

    I upgraded to CC from CS4 so I noticed there is no Encore DVD CC program to download. I think I read once that somebody said Adobe allows you to download a previous version of Encore but I can't find it, is this possible? If not how do you guys make DVDs for a client who wants them?
    If there is an Adobe Encore version to download, what video format should I export to make the DVD on Encore?
    If anybody can direct me with a link I would really appreciate it
    Thank you!

    Its a pity that Adobe could not put Encore out into the public domain  (freeware) or sell it to someone who will provide it to those who need it.
    This post includes Neil Wilkes' explanation for what happened.
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/6123689#6123689
    (Adobe has never confirmed this, and has taken down their "Encore FAQ" that gave their lame explanation for why Encore is end of life.)
    Basically, Adobe licensed the authorcore for Encore from Sonic/Roxio, which has been bought out by Rovio. Rovio killed all the sonic licensing (because they are into streaming).
    Sony may be the only continuing product other than consumer options.

  • Make DVD out of iMovies project

    Dear All,
    I am not used to write item in the support communities because I usually find the correct way to use my mac mini and it works.
    But sometimes I am somehow upset & angry about mac world.
    I have a mac mini server 2011 (OS lion) with i7 dual core processor, 2.7GHz, 8Gb RAM, 2HD of 500 Go (where 300Go is freespave on each HD).
    I imported for the first time video from my sony DR-PC350E (mini DV tape) to iMovies and enjoy making a project of about 1h20mn duration.
    -> Now I am just looking at the way to burn this project on a dvd to share it with friends on my TV.
    I tried the following commands:
    1. finalize the project -> it did fail after 5 hours time with "Error 108".
    2. export the project to Quicktime -> it did fail after 2 hours time with "Error 108".
    3. export the project to Quicktime by selecting as target my second HD-> it did fail after 2 hours time with "Error 108".
    4. export the project to iDVD -> it did not fail but send me ask me after 2 hours where is iDVD application located. And I realized then that iDVD is not installed on my mac mini!
    Now i am wondering:
    - why is iDVD not installed when I got with OS lion iPhoto, iMovies, Garageband etc....?
    As far I see on internet, iDVD is somehow not supported anymore by apple but then why do they keep this option "export to iDVD" in iMovies ???
    - why do I get this "error 108". As far I see on internet, this would be about space requirement or RAM requirement. This is a joke...8 Gb RAM should be more than enough.
    I did not find any clear answer regarding this "error 108" on forums and also the status of iDVD application looks quite unclear to me.
    After coming back home this evening, I may try the following:
    - I just read on the net I should somehow try "export to media" and then get my movies on my HD.
      Then by opening a DVD burner application (DVD creator for instance), I should then be able to create by DVD finally.
    - Also I may try the cut my project of 1h20mn in about 10 projects of 8 min (I have about 10 chapters...).
    If anyone has feedbacks or suggestions.....

    Hi
    There are much to this and I can only give a few suggestions at a time.
    I imported for the first time video from my sony DR-PC350E (mini DV tape) to iMovies and enjoy making a project of about 1h20mn duration.
    If You want max quality - then iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tool of choice as they all are unable to Export interlaced SD-video to any DVD en-coding program - but discard every second line resulting in less quality. I use:
    • iMovie HD6 - or
    • FinalCut Express or Pro
    • FinalCut Pro-X is said to be able to deliver 100% too - AND it can burn DVDs !
    If iMovie'08 - 11 is a must then I do
    • Share to Medioa Briwser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the result)
    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
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • 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
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
    Duration:
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.

  • How can I get my new iMovie to import my iPhoto library?

    Hello,
    I have the new 2013 OSX Version 10.9, and I'm trying to create a short clip on the new iMovie.  The problem is that it won't allow my iPhoto library to be imported.  I tried to go around it by simply dragging the photos straight from iPhoto to the iMovie timeline, but then iMovie just shuts down when I try.  I tried to change the .jpg pics to .jpeg, as suggested earlier, but no go.  Help anyone?

  • How to make DVD from iMovie

    I'd like to make a DVD from iMovie. in the previous version you only had to go to SHARE & selct DVD, the genius's at Apple took that away in the new version

    The previous version of iMovie with the ability to "share" to iDVD natively can be found within a folder in Applications:
    Use it.

  • How to burn DVD disc of iMovie playable on Blueray

    For years I have been easily creating movies with my vacation photos, adding effects, music, transitions and titles, etc. on my PC using Windows software and then burning the movie to a blank DVD+R disc which has always been playable on every DVD and Blue Ray player that I have tried (mine is a Panasonic model BD35).  I have recently made a transition to a Mac (the one with 27" screen and Yosemite system) and have learned how to use iMovie and, after much trial and error, have used free software, called "burn" to make a DVD that only plays on an older LG DVD player (model LDA 830) - however, the disc is "unsupportable " on my Blue Ray player (I also used a trial version of "Aimer", with the same result).  After spending several hours with an Apple support expert in their iMovie Department, I tried a slightly different method (that he had discovered from a customer with the same issue) using only the Apple DVD/CD external burner and whatever system it has for burning discs.  For me, this effort resulted in a disc that is "unsupported" on my BlueRay player and "error" on my DVD player.  The Apple expert suggested getting Apple TV - yeah, buy more Apple stuff and that solves everything! This issue has been a popular one with Apple computers and so I am amazed that it has not found an elegant solution by now.  This should not require an Einstein to achieve the result desired by many customers (as opposed to whatever result Apple is aiming at), but maybe there is one out there who can also communicate the solution in easy to understand steps?  Help, please?!?

    I am beginning to think that I should have stuck to user-friendly Windows.
    As Barney-15E noted, you can still purchase and use the boxed versions of iLife with Yosemite. Pretty cheap at only $30 - $35. It has iMovie to create your video sequence, and iDVD to author the disks from what you build in iMovie.
    Ruthless people with cold blood coursing through their veins run Apple - probably descendants of the fictional Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life"!  Ahhhh.. There, that feels better.
    I like it!
    Unfortunately, the reality is DVD and Blu-ray is heading the way of floppy disks. Here's an interesting headline I ran across today. No Surprise: DVD Sales Plunged Over 40 Percent Last Year. Thing is, that statement was from 2011, marking a 40% drop from 2010 with sales of 47 billion. Sound like a lot? Not compared to how far the medium has fallen in just three more years. Only 12.2 billion in 2014.
    Apple completely dropped DVD Studio Pro, and Apple isn't the only one to blame. Adobe also dropped all further development of Encore, it's DVD and Blu-ray authoring app. CS6 was the last version of that we'll ever see. You can still get it if you have the CC subscription. You choose to install an older version of Premiere Pro. It then installs Premiere Pro CS6 and Encore CS6. You then uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 since you don't need it; you already have Premiere Pro CC.
    The mistake the industry is making is that not everyone in the world has access to high speed Internet. Sure, I can "purchase" my movies from Amazon and other online sources, but I can only watch my purchased movies or shows if a) I have Internet access, and b) it's fast enough where I am at the time to stream it. There is no such problem with disks. Take them with you and watch them anywhere. The only fault they have is either losing the disk, or damaging it.

  • How to retrieve contents in new imovie app from old one under new Yosemite?

    I have upgraded my Mac Pro with with new Yosemite. I now have the new version of iMovie, and i can't open the old one anymore (iMovie 9.0.4). Howeer the new version is blank and I can't retrieve the projects I've started. How can I find them?

    You should have a copy of iMovie 9.0.9 in a separate folder in the Applications folder after updating to Yosemite (from Snow Leopard?).  This should still be useable.
    To transfer projects to iMovie 10, you need to update them from within iMovie 10.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
    I'ts best not to change versions mid-project though because the new version is very different from the old one.

  • How to make Aperture use new drive

    Hi
    I recently bought a new 3TB HDD to replace my 1TB drive which was nearly full. How do I copy my existing files across and make Aperture continue to read them from its database?
    Regards
    Mark

    Thanks, Matthew, but I don't think I gave enough details. I have my aperture library file on the main drive under ~/Pictures. The raw files from my camera are on the external 1TB drive called Elements, as referenced files. On the external drive is a system of folders like this /Volumes/Elements/Photos/Aperture/2012/06, and within that the raw files downloaded from my camera for that day.
    So the issue is how to harmonize the library on the iMac with the referenced files on the external drive.

  • How do you create a new iMovie but not erase the old one?

    I've been working on this iMovie for fun and I got an assignment to make a movie, but I don't want to delete my old movie. What do I do?

    You don't have to remove your project. Just make a new project. They'll both be stored in the iMovie Ptojects folder and can both be accessed from the project library in iMovie. Perhaps you mean something else and I'm not understanding the question.

  • How to Make  DVD Slideshow From iPhoto? I need help !!!!!

    What's the easiest way to import about 160 photos from iPhoto to a DVD with background music to send to Grandmom as a slideshow? She's 83 and really wants to see a bunch of pictures of her grandkids, and loves the DVDs I've done in the past (using iLife '06). I now have iLife 2009.
    I have attempted to get a DVD with music to burn, but it isn't working. As in the past, I have gone from iPhoto, dropping the selected photos into iMovie, added music from iTunes, and imported that to iDVD but it takes Sooooooo long (seems like this route used to be faster). Any way shorter? More efficient?
    I do it that way because I recall that iDVD in prior versions was restricted to 99 photos, so I always went from iPhoto to iMovie to iDVD. But '09 is different than '06; I can't even get music to import from iTunes or play on the DVD I burned using this rather long procedure(not copy protected, either). So, I'm at a loss.
    What am I doing wrong? How do I do it correctly?
    Step by step instructions would be much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to have a theme but you can have the slideshow begin automatically when the disk is inserted into a DVD player. Go to the Map mode in iDVD and drag the slideshow into the blue box at the far left:
    Click to view full size
    But there has to be a theme for iDVD to drop back to when it finishes the slideshow. BUT you could set the slideshow to loop endlessly so it would never drop back to the theme unless you stopped it manually and exited to the theme. You set the repeat option in the Advanced menu.
    Click to view full size

  • Video Tutorial to help you understand how to make DVD menus

    Hi,
    I'm quite certain that most of the people on this forum already know what I'm going to share here, and if it has already been shared before, I'm sorry about that. There are, however,always people that are new to Premiere and encore, and don't have a clue yet what they are doing. That was me not so very long ago. Here is a website you can go to and download a very good professional DVD menu that you can use to create  DVD's. Once downloaded, you can take it apart and see how it was created. http://www.eyescreamfactory.com/downloads_dec.html
    If you are also like me a very short time ago, you will have no idea what to do with it once you have downloaded it. OK, then go to this website. http://www.eyescreamfactory.com/help.html   At the top of the page you will find a link to a video tutorial where you can learn what to do with it. It's very good, and watching someone do something is a lot easier than reading about how to do it.
    Hope this helps someone else as much as it helped me.

    Hi Bill,
    If it is possible that I've helped you even a little, I'm very glad, because you have helped me a
    great deal with problems I've had in the past, and I thank you very much. Terry
