Using idvd transitions in imovie.

I would like to use the transitions that are found in idvd and add them to the choices of trasitions available to me in imovie. How do I locate those transition files being used in idvd program and move them to the imove program?
I am using ilife 4.

I doubt is possible.
But you can try and then post back here the results .
Right click the iDVD application, choose Show Package Contents, and then it's up to you to search for files that might be the transitions. Look for similar things in iMovie, and see if it works.
Be aware: back-up the two apps, so if you do something wrong you have a way back.

  • Using idvd themes in imovie and photshop?

    hi,
    i would like to use idvd themes for the cover art of a dvd and sounds for imovie clips. therefore, i wanted to know if and how it's possible to find the image-file of an idvd theme so that i can import it into photoshop, as well if and how i can find the sound-file of an idvd theme so that i can use it in imovie. i would be happy if i can avoid using extra software like audio hijack pro etc. to extract the sound and graphics. is there's an easy way to find and use those files?
    regards,
    andi

    You can look in the parcel contents, richt click or control click, than in the "contents" folder the "Recources" folder there you can find "tif" files.
    Its a long list.

  • Can I use iPhoto transitions in iMovie

    I noticed that there are some transitions for a slideshow in iPhoto that are not used in iMovie. For example; cube, droplet, mosiac. Is there any way to get them into iMovie?
    Macbook Pro    

    Hello Jim,
    sorry, but that's not possible. you have however two options that should get you where you want:
    1. make slideshow in iPhoto and then export to QT to be then used in iMovie
    2. get a third party plugin to make transitions that even iPhoto doesn't have. just goooogle "iMovie Plugins" and you'll find a ton - there's even free stuff.
    hope this helps

  • Using IDVD to render Imovie project

    It keeps stopping and telling me the project is too long.  It is 38 minutes and I have already rendered it once before and burned some DVD's.  I don't know why I can't render it again?  I don't think it is too long

    They are burned at 8x.
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD at 4X speed. File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • After bringing in the movie from a video camera in iMovie and enhancing it tiles and transitions etc how do you and where do you save the project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    Where do you save a movie project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    I recommend that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then in iDVD, you open the Media Browser and navigate to your project. You can drag it into your iDVD project from there.
    You can also use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and save to the location of your choice. You can then drag and drop into iDVD.

  • After bringing in the movie from (a Canon) video camera in iMovie and finishing a Project where do you save the project and make DVD using iDVD?

    I am trying to burn DVD of the movie I have taken using a Canon and/or aSony video camera. I brought in the movie in iMovie. Enhanced  the movie adding titles and various transitions and completed the project.  Now how do I make a or several DVD of the movie using iDVD? please help.

    You can either share it directly to iDVD by choosing Share > iDVD or you can export it using your favorite preferred settings by choosing Export to Quicktime. With the former method, iDVD will open automatically, with the latter method, open iDVD and drag in your movie. With both: choose a theme for your menu (what people will see when the DVD first starts playing) - you should play around a little to learn how to use iDVD. In any case, when done, you can burn directly from iDVD.

  • How can I burn a DVD of an iMovie 13 project using iDVD 7.1.2 version.

    I have a late model iMac which came with iDVD.  I use iMovie to make photo and movie projects and share them to  iDVD to burn DVDs.  I use these often and I love them, specially iDVD.
    When Mavericks came out I updated and of course it changed iMovie.  I just finished a photo project with music on iMovie and planned to transfer it to iDVD for burning DVD.  This is a family project and I want to distribute copies to the rest of the family.
    It turns out that I cannot use iDVD with the new iMovie version and/or Mavericks.
    iDVD does not contain the buttons that it used to have on each theme in order to play the DVD. 
    I cannot drag the movie into iDVD.
    What can I do so that I can use iDVD when I have an iMovie project to burn it on a DVD. 
    I can go back to the previous version of iMovie and still have Mavericks.
    I do not know, I am lost.  Why doesnt this work without any problems when updating the operting system.  Apple should take into consideration all the previous applications etc when it makes an older computer able to update to more current system.
    I appreciate any help offered.
    Thank you

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    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.

  • Getting extra scenes when burning from imovie to dvd using idvd.

    I edited a movie using imovie and got it n the sequence I want.  Then I burned it to dvd using idvd.  However, when I view the dvd, it starts midway through the video, goes to the end, then starts over and shows me the whole video. 
    The problem is, I don't see the extra part that shows in the beginnning on the dvd on imovie.  How do I get rid of that extra stuff if I can't see it on imovie?

    I have had the same problem. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were absolutely no help at all. They told me to buy Final Cut Pro. The only thing I found that helped was to export the movie using Quick Time as HD as possible (which takes a long time) and then use that in iDVD, so that the version I have for viewing on a TV or whatever doesn't look cheap and lo-res. My old iMac and iMovie 4 was slow, but the quality was much better on finished DVD products of movies or slideshows. It *****.

  • Can't burn to DVD from iMovie (4.0) using iDVD.  Can I use another program?

    Suddenly, after making several DVDs with this computer using its old version of iMovie without trouble, I can't burn my latest creation...I'm getting a message saying that "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
    I cannot update to the newest OS X Snow Leopard, because I've tried and my computer is not intel-based.
    So, has my iDVD application has been updated to suddenly be incompatible?? How has it worked before?
    (I've tried to upgrade my iMovie application to the current iMovie '11, but my computer is not intel-based.)
    Is there another solution to my problem? Is there another application that I can use to burn from iMovie to a DVD besides using iDVD? (Remember, I have an old computer.) :o)
    Thank you so much for any help you can give!

    You can try using BURN at http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

  • How can I burn an mpeg onto a DVD without having to use IDVD or IMovie?

    So I've got a few jpg's and mpeg's that I would like to burn for PC friends, but the only way I can figure out how to get these onto a CD or DVD is by using IDVD or IMovie with my IMac. Is there a way around this? Why doesn't a blank DVD or CD icon come up on the desktop once inserted so that I can simply drag and drop my photos and short movies to it to be burned accordingly? Thanks in advance.
    IMac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.7)

    Thanks for responding Dave, but this option doesn't
    seem to appear in the preferences of IDVD, DVD
    Player, or Quicktime. It seems strange that the only
    way I can burn a movie is to create a new IMovie
    project and and then burn it via IDVD. This is a
    huge hassle when all I want is a few short videos in
    no particular order saved on a CD or DVD. My CD
    player doesn't seem to be listed separately and is
    tied into Itunes. Isn't ILife suppose to make
    things easier? Thanks for your help.

  • Burning an iMovie 10 project using iDVD

    I created a slideshow movie with a theme (no audio) by iMovie 10. I want to burn a looping DVD of this movie without an added DVD theme, using iDVD. How would I bypass the iDVD themes?

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Several of our resident experts also recommend this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.

  • I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

    I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
    and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
    I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
    and vertically.
    I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
    When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
    Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

  • Using iDVD to burn a iMovie

    I made a slideshow on iMovie and would like to burn it using iDvd.  I would like it to loop over and over again.  Really, I don't want/need the menu page.  Can you help?  It's pictures of my son for his graduation, so I do not want to keep pressing play.  I created it in iMovie so that I could utilized Ken Burns.

    I followed the instructions you sent. I can't select the movie from the Movies section of the Media pane. It says I need to format the iMovie for Media Browser. My question is: what size do I select in iMovie for Media Browser? I know it should be set for Computer, but do I select 1)large, 2)HD 702p or 3)HD 1080p? Thanks.

  • Shimmering once iMovie burned using iDVD

    Hi - I have created a presentation (both scanned photos and video clips) in iMovie 6 and burned it using iDVD. The presentation looks great on iMovie, but after I've burned it and watched it on my DVD, there seems to be a "shimmering" effect on some of the photos. Originally I thought it was something to do with the way I scanned the photos. But when I attempted burning it subsequent times, a different set of photos seemed to have developed the shimmering effect. For example, on the first DVD, clips #50-75 had shimmering and in the second DVD, it was clips #60-78 (the shimmering seems to be moving along later in the presentation). Any suggestions on what I have to do to avoid this? Many thanks....

    Hi - thanks for the suggested reading. I'm prepared to save the clips at a smaller resolution (640x480) but I'm still confused - why does the "shimmering" effect strike different clips at different times when I burn it on iDVD? If an image would be prone to "shimmering" then shouldn't the effect show up each time the project is burned? Conversely, if it burned properly once before, why would it begin to "shimmer" when the project is burned a second time?

  • Can I save an IMovie slideshow to a DVD or do I need to use IDVD?

    I created a slideshow using still pictures/movies in IMovie. Can I save this to a DVD or do I now need to create something using IDVD?

    Share your movie using either Share/Media Browser or Share/iTunes.
    Now, open iDVD. In iDVD, open the Media Browser at the bottom right of the iDVD screen. Find your movie in the Movie Browser and drag it into your iDVD project.
