hi folks,

ok, i edited my daughters b-day in iMovie3 then clicked on the iDVD button which sent the project to iDVD3. there i added 4 slideshows and music and burned a copy.

now, once i viewed it on my TV i realized some video clips had to go. so is there a way i can edit them out in iMovie and still keep the rest of the iDVD project intact? i got lazy and in iDVD i just picked hundreds of photos for the slide shows (4 of them, at 99 photos each) so i would prefer to not have to rechoose all these images (from 1856 photos).

if i edit the video in iMovie and hit iDVD, it'll open up a new iDVD project, right?

also, is there a way to change the black background that appears in the iDVD slideshows? i get a black bacground which i'd like to turn white.

thanks for any help

If you still have the iDVD and iMovie projects intact and you edit and save the movie, I believe iDVD will sense that the movie has changed when you open it next and start re-encoding it. Once done encoding, you should be ready to burn a new DVD.

Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

cool beans! you're right! i continued to edit in iMovie and iDVD picked up the changes seemlessly and without a glitch. thanks Old Toad, you saved me a lot of time.

I don't think you can change this in iMovie. I think you have to use an image editor like Photoshop to create white backgrounds, then import them. I don't know about iDVD but I suspect it's the same.
