A - Chapter Titles: A new chapter appears in the list each time you add a marker. Type a

name for each chapter that you want to use in your iDVD scene selection menu.

B - Add Chapter/Remove Chapter: Click to add or remove a chapter marker in your movie. If

you export your movie to iDVD to create a DVD, the markers you add are used to create

scene selection menus in iDVD.

C - Create iDVD Project: Click to export your movie directly to iDVD. This opens iDVD 4 and

your movie appears as a project in the iDVD window. If you don’t have iDVD on your

computer or you don’t have a supported DVD drive, this button is not available.

To create chapter markers to use later in iDVD:

1. Drag the playhead to the frame where you want to set a chapter marker.

2. Click the iDVD button to open the iDVD Pane.

3. Click Add Chapter and the new chapter will appear in the chapter list of the iDVD

pane, along with the time code of the frame where the chapter marker is set.

4. Type a name for the chapter title. Note: Chapters will be represented in the

Timeline Viewer as diamond-shaped markers.

5. If you wish to remove a chapter, click upon it and click on the Remove Chapter

button.

6. If you don’t have iDVD on your computer or you don’t have a supported DVD drive

the Create iDVD Project button will be grayed out. However, if you have the ability

to create DVDs and you wish to export your movie directly to iDVD, click on this

button and it will open the iDVD application and your movie will appear as a project

in the iDVD window.

Working with Audio

You should finish all your visual editing of your movie before you attempt to work with the

audio. Once you have all your video organized properly, then you can begin to synchronize

audio clips with specific frames in your movie and lock them into place.

There are three ways to add sound to an iMovie:

1. Use one of the sound effects provided by iMovie.

2. Add a musical track from a CD or Garage Band from your iTunes music library.

3. Record your own voiceover.

You also have the ability to edit the sound recorded with your own video footage, making it

louder or softer, fading in or fading out. You can even separate the sound from one section of

your video and play it over another section to serve as a sort of storytelling device.
