Step 4: Add a Movie
After you choose your theme, you can add one or more movies and other content to
your iDVD project. In this step, you’ll add a movie.
When you drag a movie to a menu, iDVD automatically adds a button to the menu that
users click to play the movie. The button’s label is the name of the movie you added,
but you can change this.
To add a movie:
1
Click the Media button.
2
Click the Movies button at the top of the Media pane, shown below.
3
Select the Movies folder or another folder that contains movies.
Thumbnail pictures of the movies in the folder appear in the lower half of the pane.
4 Drag a movie thumbnail to the menu background on the left side of the iDVD window.
You see a green circle with a plus sign when you can drop the movie. In the Soft Frame
Main menu, the background where you can drop your movie includes everything but
the drop zone and the placeholder title.
When you drop the movie, a button appears on the menu that has the same name as
the movie you added. You’ll learn how to change the button name in “Editing Button
Text” on page 22.
