Making a Movie in iMovie HD and iDVD 5: Visual QuickProject Guide

Let's recap our progress so far.

By this point, you've imported your footage from the camera, added any songs and still photos, and assembled the clips in the Timeline. You've also edited the clips and incorporated transitions, titles, and effects.

Before you proceed, make sure any final polishing work has been done on your movie (such as adding other music, trimming clips to tighten the movie's timing, etc.).

In this chapter, you'll share the movie with the rest of the world by emailing it to someone, building a .Mac HomePage (if you're a .Mac subscriber; if not, see the extra bits section on page 69), creating a QuickTime file, and finally creating an iDVD project in preparation for burning the movie to a DVD.

If you want to share only a section of your movie, select the clips in the Timeline before choosing the Share command.
