iDVD Addendum—Chapter 4

Creating a Slideshow
The ingredients for a successful slideshow
are photos, photos, and more photos (with
perhaps a dash of audio thrown in, which I’ll
address later in the chapter).
To create a slideshow:
u Click the Add button and choose Add
Slideshow, or choose Add Slideshow from
the Project menu (or press Command-L).
A new empty slideshow appears in the
menu (Figure 4.1).
u Drag two or more pictures from the
Media pane or the Finder to the main
window (if you drag only one, then the
photo is used as the background image).
A new slideshow titled “My Slideshow”
is created containing those pictures.
u Drag an iPhoto album from the Media
pane to the main window (Figure 4.2).
The slideshow that is created takes the
name of the album.
To set the slideshow icon:
1. Click a slideshow to select it. A Thumb-
nail slider appears. If the Inspector is
visible, the slider is located in the Button
Info window. (This feature works only in
themes where buttons include icons.)
2.
Drag the Thumbnail slider to choose one
of the slideshow’s photos (Figure 4.3).
3.
Click outside the icon to deselect it and
apply the change.
To delete a slideshow:
u If you want to remove a slideshow, click
its button in the main window and
press Delete or choose Delete from the
Edit menu.
Figure 4.2 Drag an iPhoto album from the Media
pane to the menu to create a slideshow containing
all of the album’s pictures.
Figure 4.3 The Thumbnail slider lets you pick
a photo to use as the button’s icon.
Creating a Slideshow
Figure 4.1 When you create an empty slideshow,
it appears as a new button in the menu.
