Chapter 10 Sharing Your Finished Movie 77

Exporting to iDVD

iMovie HD can easily transfer your project to iDVD as a new iDVD project. You can

export your project complete with chapter markers.

To export a movie to iDVD using the Share dialog:

1 Choose File > Share.

2 Click iDVD.

3 Click Share.

iMovie HD takes a little while to compress and export your movie. (The time it takes

depends on the length of your movie.) It’s best not to use your computer for other

tasks during the export process.

Your movie is transferred into a new iDVD project complete with theme and drop

zones ready for burning to a DVD.

You can share just a selection of clips and send them to an iDVD project. Select the

clips you want in the clip viewer or timeline viewer, and select the “Share selected clips

only” checkbox in the Share dialog box.

You can also use the iDVD pane to export your movie to iDVD. The advantage of using

the iDVD pane is that you can specify the chapters and chapter titles you want for a

movie before exporting.

To export a movie to iDVD using the iDVD pane:

1 Click the iDVD button to open the iDVD pane.

2 Click the Add Chapter button to add chapters. You can also select and change the

chapter titles.

3 Click “Create iDVD Project.”

iMovie HD can also automatically import your video, compose your movie, and export

it to iDVD using the Make a Magic iMovie feature. When you create a Magic iMovie, you

can select the option to your movie become a new iDVD project this way as well.

Exporting for QuickTime Viewing Formats

All viewing formats (except for DV tape) are QuickTime formats that differ in size

depending on what they will be used for. For example, you can choose to set up a

movie for web viewing or transfer to a CD-ROM.

To export to QuickTime:

1 Choose File > Share.

2 Click QuickTime in the toolbar.

3 Choose the type of file you want to create from the “Compress move for” pop-up menu

and click Share.
