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

In Chapter 5, you added photos to your iMovie project. Once incorporated into your movie, however, the photos get converted to video clips. In iDVD, you can build a slideshow that presents your photos sequentially, with transitions between each one and a soundtrack in the background. Although you could accomplish something similar in iMovie, it's much easier to do it here.

In iPhoto, I made an album of my favorite photos. It's easier to drag an album into iDVD, but you can also select the photos you want and drag them in as a group to create a new slideshow.
