IMovie to iDVD movie library

Question

Please help if you can. I want to save an iMovie clip to iDVD's movie library, I THINK---that is, I think that is how to make the iMovie file accessible to iDVD's AUTOPLAY. And that's it: I simply want to place an iMovie clip into iDVD's autoplay. Can this be done? Any help with this will be wonderful! Jack

Hi Jack,
If I understand your question well, you want a small movie to play automatically every time it is inserted in a player?
This is easily done.
- Launch iDVD, and open your project.
- Click on the DVD Map icon (below the main viewing window, left most of the three icons)
- You will see the different parts of your DVD in a tree like shape. The one which is at the root of your 'tree' (usually on the top) is empty and says:
"drag content here to automatically play when the disc is inserted."
- Then drag and drop a clip from iMovie, or a DV file.
I personally have done a small copyright movie, with music and tansitions. To have then one single clip I did an export from iMovie in full quality to DV. Saved it on the desktop, then dragged it to that autoplay placeholder.
Hope this helps.
