Design your DVD
This portion of the iDVD tutorial will assume a completed project imported from iMovie, using iMovie that has a number of chapter markers. So once you use iMovie to send over a video to iDVD with chapter markers, return to this section.
The Menu Screens are the most customizable portion of iDVD. They are in some sense the face of iDVD. We have the option to edit the background image or video of the first splash screen.
Once we have imported a movie with chapter markers it looks like this:
Notice that chapter submenus have already been created. This was done automatically as specified in the iDVD Preferences menu. Recall that you can see all your menus by choosing the Map button.
- Click on the Customize button then Theme, and choose a theme that is right for you.
- Double click on the theme in order to apply it to the screen that you are on.
Many themes have drop zones where you can insert images or short movie clips that are separate from the background of the menu. In order to insert a picture or movie into the drop zone, drag and drop the file into the desired drop zone. You can pull clips straight from your iMovie project into these drop zones.
