More than one slideshow in iDVD?

I have just finished creating a slideshow & imported it to iDVD as my new project. However, now I want to make another one. I want to know if it is possible for me to add another slideshow to the same iDVD project or I have to make it as a separate one? If able to add to the same project, how would I do that? I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me. Thanks!

Yes, you can add several more. In your open iDVD project, click on the little + near the lower left side of the window. Then choose Add Movie. You can locate your movie in a Finder window and drag it to the new movie button that is created in the menu. Or select Add Slideshow to build the slideshow entirely within iDVD. An iDVD slideshow has no Ken Burns effect, but gives good quality of the photos and is very easy to create. You can have as many movies as you have menu buttons available for them, as long as the total length of the iDVD project stays within the 2 hour maximum.

Sharing More than One Movie with iDVD????

Okay.. I would like to know if there is another way to burn MORE than one movie an iDVD project. It seems that sending the movie straight to iDVD creates it's own project, and when you try to send another movie, it creates a completely different project. I know I can send a movie to Media browser but the quality of the movie is much better when I share it via the command in iMovie 09 (Shrare->iDVD). I've noticed that the file type is different when you send it to iDVD than when you put it in Media Browser as well.
Currently this is what I do.. Share it to iDVD.. Then I save that iDVD project to my desktop. I close iDVD, and start sharing my second movie. I then Control-Click on the first iDVD project and choose "Show Package Contents". I then dig into the trenches of that file to find the movie file. I then drag it to the desktop and delete the first iDVD project. When the new iDVD project gets made, I simply drag the file on my desktop into the iDVD project I want it in and then it works. This seems like a so un-apple way to do this though. I think iMovie definetly needs and update here. It's great if you ony want to burn a 1 movie to iDVD, but what if you want to do more. There should be a way to select multiple movies to send to iDVD or the option of adding a new imported movie to the current project in iDVD.
Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Is there a good export option in QuickTime? DV doesn't work because the quality I get is horrible. Somehow the shared to iDVD movie is the best quality and it's a QuickTime file via h.264. Is that my best export option? Sharing with the Media browser creates a mv4 file that's much smaller in size, even at the largest setting. The frames are more jumpier when iDVD finishes with it than the h.264 file.
Any better suggestions? Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple. I can't find it anymore on this website.

Q:Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple.
A: Launch iDvd and then scroll down to Provide iDvd Feeback.

More than one song in iDVD iLife '09?

this may be a very simple problem, but I cant figure out/know if it's possible to have more than one song play in my slideshow in iDVD in iLife '09. I have one song playing, but want a different one after the first ends. Can anyone help?

Create a playlist in iTunes in the order that you want the songs to play then click on the music icon in iDVD click on the playlist and drag into the music area. Also, recently a number of MAC users have experienced a couple of second audio drop in the third song after burning the slideshow on a DVD. Please post if you have the same outcome.

How can i choose more than one transition using idvd. please help..

Hi my name is Luis and I took pictures and wanted to make a slideshow but when i want to choose more than one transition it wont let me. It will only let me choose just one. I would like it so the photo transition was random not just one. Please Help me if someone knows.. Thank You Very Much

Syncing and backing up in iTunes can be accomplished with multiple devices. They identify the devices based on the phone number, phone name, etc. The only way you would have an issue is if you were using different calendar contacts on the computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

Adding more than one movie to iDVD - possible or not?

I assumed that you would be able to drop more than one imovie into a iDVD project and that it would add them as different menu items but it won't do it. Am I trying to do what is not possible? Any help is appreciated cheers!

Hi Cheeba
You got a very good link from Sue but it is fairly easy to describe.
A. Make Your movies in iMovie. (You can make them in one session but
it is easier to make each as an individual project)
B. Close iMovie
C. Locate Your moviprojects. Folders for iMovie 1-4 and an icon for v.5
(if icon: Ctrl-click on it and select show package)
in this there is a folder Share movie and in this a folder DVD. Here You
will find a QT.mov file with Your project name. Take this and drop it into
an open iDVD theme window (just inside the edge of this window).
repeat for the other movies.
OK that's all there is to it. You can try dropping the project folder/icon
instead of open it - it is supposed to work.
Yours Bengt W

Can I use more than one transition when creating a slideshow in IDVD

I want to use more than one transition in IDVD when creating a slideshow, is this possible?

Not so. Under Windows select Photos.
That will show the Media Browser in the lower right hand corner of iMovie.
Use the File ➙ New Project to create a new project. Select the photos from iPhoto you want to create a movie from and drag into the new project area.
From there add your transitions, music, etc.

Use more than one song on slideshow?

When it comes to both Final Cut Pro HD vs. Final Cut Express HD...
With either one can you use more than one iTune song when making a picture slideshow? I currently just use iMovie to do this but with iMovie I can only use one song.
Considering upgrading but want this option.
Thanks!

Oops actually I meant iDVD ipo iMovie. But yes, it is a standard feature for music under Media in iDVD.
Does anyone know why you couldn't use your music from iTunes when making a movie in FCP? In my case they are home movies and I am just looking to jazz them up a little.

Can more than one song be selected for slideshow on IPhoto? If so how

Am trying to put together slideshow of granddaughter's birthday party but want to use more than one song as have a lot of photos.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have taken that and tried to create a document on how to do this. You will see some different/additional comments. My idea is to share it with everyone once it is finalized. I am about ready to try and walk through all the steps for real but would ask you to read this over before I commit several hours more to this project. Any comments are appreciated. I am concerned about steps 9 through 13. Not sure i have it right. Any comments will be appreciated. Maury

How to create a Slideshow on DVD
with music
using iPhoto and iTunes
as input sources
1. Select, crop, and fix slides needed from the iPhoto library. Put them into a newly named folder. (Not a slide show.)
2. Import this folder into iMovie using KenBurns ON.
3. Add any necessary transitions between various segments of resulting movie.
(This should be the finished visual project. Using this write down the exact timing needed for stop/start each segment and the total length of the movie.)
4. Go to iTunes and select various tunes/songs/music desired.
5. Go to Amadeus and open a new file. (This single will end up the same length as the visual project).
6. Open JACK to connect iTunes to Amadeus.
7. Choose a tune, find the correct snippet of music and adjust to stop/start times from 3 above. Move your snippet to Amadeus. Use cross fade so one snippet will blend into the next one. Load these in the correct order of the slideshow segments.
(Note: Music purchased from the iTunes Store is "protected" in ACC and will no render into another format. This means it cannot be used in this example. A major inconvenience.)
8. Your result will be string of snippets strung together in proper order and in total making up a single file the same length as your slideshow.
9. Paste this new music file into the iMovie.
10, Close iMovie.
11. Open iDVD, select your theme and leave the menu window open.
12. Open the iMovie project file (Control-click on it and select Show Package Contents) and navigate to the Shared Movies/iDVD folder.
13. Drag the .mov file in there into the open iDVD window being sure not to drop it into any menu drop zones.
(You'll know if you are in a drop zone (if there are any) since a text link appears with the same name as the movie file you're dragging.)
(This allows iDVD to do the rendering thus eliminating two renderings on the same file which reduces image quality......)
14 Save the project to Disk Image instead of burning directly to disk.
15. Open the disk image and launch DVD Player.
This will let you check out the finished project with DVD Player before committing to disk. You'll be able to check out the audio sync, typos etc.
16. When you are ready to burn to disk use File>Disk Utility.
(See: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X.) The first step, saving to Disk Image is the encoding process and takes the longest time. Often it will seem like it's hung on the audio encoding but let it go on and on, as it often is the longest part of the encoding process.
17. This should be the finished product.
18. Snail Mail DVD to adorable grandchild and wait for parents to call saying it made them both cry. (Of course, this implies you are a grandparent.)

About item 16, is there any way to tell the difference between "hung up" and "encoding" while it is going on?

Dear Barbara B.
Thank you for your response. Good idea about combining the songs in another program first.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

How can I add more than one song to fit the length of the slideshow

I would like to add more than one song to my slideshow. I do not want to repeat the same song more than once. Is there a way to add more than one song to a slideshow?

Great - unfortunately it is not intutative - but simple - once you know the secret - and at least in iphoto '08 it acts like you can select multiple songs using the command key but it only plays the first one

SOLUTION: Chapters of more than one movie usable on a single DVD (w. iDVD)

If you want to put more than one movie with chapters made in iMovie onto a single DVD using iDVD--and have the chapters of all movies usable--do this: in iDVD, simultaneously drag the icons for all the movies you want to use into the background of the iDVD project. (Use command-click to select multiple movie icons, which are displayed on the right when "Media" and then "Movies" are selected.)

This is exactly what iDVD is made for.
Complete your iMovie projects and save each to disc.
Open iDVD selecting new project and choose a theme.
Now drag each of your five .mov files from the movie project folders into the screen area of your iDVD project.
You can now play around with titles different themes, backgrounds etc. to your heart's content.
Good luck.

Using more than one song in a slideshow

Hi, has anyone figured out how to use more than one song in a slide show to play on the appletv?
I set it up in Iphoto, but it seems to only allow me to choose one song. I'm having a party and want to have my slideshow play continuously, but would like to have a bunch of songs cycling thru.
thanks,
Jeff

In the slideshow settings, choose music and choose a playlist.
In itunes, add as many songs as you want to play to the playlist.

Is there a way to have iDVD have accommodate more than one iMovie project on one DVD?

Looking for a way to have more than one iMovie Project burned to one DVD through iDVD. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi
YES - But do not use "Share to iDVD" in any version of iMovie as this will degrade the final result - BUT
Share to Media Browser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the final DVD)
Now when Your movies are Shared. Close iMovie
Open iDVD and import movies from Media button/Movies (down to the right)
And You can add up to 99 movies - or 60/120 minutes (reg encoding quality chosen)
Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION (can take 15 minutes or more if elaborated)
(I keep it as simple possibly)
Yours Bengt W

More than one iMovie project into one iDVD project??

Hi,
I am editing several iMovie projects which I had intended to put on one DVD using iDVD.
Can I use iMovie to share several projects to one iDVD project or should I use iDVD to import several (completed) iMovie projects to the one iDVD project?
Can I even have more than one project on in an iDVD project?
I am currently importing a large video file to iMovie so iMovie is inaccessible.
My iMovie projects are video only (no menus, etc. until I import to iDVD).
Cheers

Well, it is recommended that you use the 'Best Performance' default setting from iDVD's Preferences for movies under 60 minutes to get the best quality.
If you want to put 60-120 minutes on one DVD, you have to select either 'High Quality' or 'Professional Quality' Both will give good results; PQ will take a bit longer to do and is supposed to be higher quality.
I usually make movies just under 2 hours, and I always use PQ. I am pleased with the quality of my movies on DVD disks. However, you should know that I am using iMovie 6 and not any hi-def videos (yet ).
David Pogue explained the process of 'Best Performance' and 'Best Quality' (what the option was before HQ and PQ) like this:
Best Performance option allots "+a fixed, predetermined amount of data to each frame of video...no matter how many minutes of video...A lot of the DVD might wind up being empty--if...the project contains less than an hour of video. But the process will go quickly, and the video will look really great+."
Best Quality option uses "+every micron of space on this blank DVD+" because it analyzes "+the amount of video...included+," and divides "+it into the amount of space available on the DVD. The amount of information used to describe an individual frame of video will vary from project to project, and it will take...a lot longer to burn the DVD because+" of "+so much analysis. But at least+" you "+will get two hours of great-looking video per disc.+"
If your videos are short, you might want to try all the encoding options and see which gives you the best quality.

You can't use multiple tracks. Merging them into one, using something like Audacity is the way to go. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
