34 Creating a Project
Examples of DVDit! Projects
These examples show how you can use DVDit! to create basic DVD presentations.
You can create far more elaborate presentations rapidly and easily from these
simple beginnings.
Single movie (with chapter points)
This is a very basic project with no menus and just a single movie. To create this
presentation, place a video clip (and an audio clip) in the First Play placeholder,
then add the chapter points. (Every movie always has at least one chapter point, at
the beginning of the video.)
The movie starts playing when the disc is inserted in the DVD player, and the
viewer can jump from one chapter to another by pressing the Next and Previous
buttons on the remote control. When the movie finishes, the disc stops playing.
Multiple movies
Here are four movies, with Movie 1 in the First Play placeholder. As each movie
finishes, an instruction tells the DVD player to play the next one (you specify this
instruction in the Movie Properties dialog — see “Changing Movie and Menu
Properties” on page 77).
The viewer can also jump from one movie to the next by pressing the Next and
Previous buttons on the remote control.
