an animated slideshow in 2 hours with iDVD on our niffty new iMac

Filed under: General — SDBlogger @ 10:49 am

The new iMac, we got the 20″, 2.4g, 4g ram, 320GIG HD variety for a nice sum of HK$14,100, with the Apple Care Protection plan 3 year extended warranty. Always get this, these computers are complex machines and in variably breakdown sometimes.

Anyways I am putting together an animate slide show for Sunil Balani. iDVD makes it a breeze, fist it imported all 961 .jpgs without a hitch. You can then select an animated title screen add your photos or videos and add menu selections, just like on a real DVD. You can then add music from iTunes. You first set up a playlist in iTunes, then in iDVD you just select the playlist and it adds music to your slideshow. You can preview the whole thing in realtime or scroll through it while it renders instantly and the music scrolls in time too. Once you are done editing you hit the DVD swirl icon at the bottom of the main window, it asks you to instert a blank DVD and then tells you to wait 2 hours… 2 HOURS! I WANT MY DVD NOW!!! LOL:)
