Chapter 3 iDVD Tutorial 31
View the Autoplay Movie
To view the autoplay movie:
1 Click the Map button at the bottom of the iDVD window to open map view. Your
current location is selected on the map.
2 If the entire map doesn't fit in the window, drag the size slider at the top of the
window to the left to reduce the size of the icons. You can also use the horizontal and
vertical scrollers to move through the map, or drag the map to see other parts of it.
(If you have a complex project, you might need to scroll to see all the elements in your
project.)
3 Double-click the project icon at the top left corner of the map. The autoplay movie
plays once through.
Note: Autoplay movies play when the DVD is inserted, before the main menu appears.
Only some themes include autoplay movies, but you can add one to any theme, or
change the existing one, by dragging a movie or photo album to the project icon.
Remove an autoplay movie or slideshow by dragging it out of the project icon.
Did You Know?—Map View
From map view, you can jump quickly to different parts of your project. Just double-
click a menu or slideshow icon to open it for editing. Click the Map button again to
return to map view.
In map view, you can set a movie or slideshow to repeat (or “loop”) by selecting its
icon, and then choosing Advanced > Loop Movie or Slideshow. You can also make
changes to menus by selecting the menu icon—even select more than one at a time
by holding down the Shift key as you click—and then making selections in the
Settings pane of the Customize drawer. Or select menu icons and change the theme
by selecting a new theme in the Themes pane of the Customize drawer.
Map view also shows you what transitions you have set between each item in the
project.To see which transition has been set, rest the pointer over the circle at the left
side of an icon. The transition title appears.
Add additional media files to menus and slideshows by dragging them to the menu
or slideshow icons. Remove a movie by dragging it off a menu icon.
