iDVD Addendum—Chapter 4

Adding Background Audio

Just as audio can play in the background of a

menu, slideshows can include audio, too.

To add background audio:

1. Double-click a slideshow to enter the

Slideshow editor (if it’s not already open).

2.

Drag one or more audio ﬁles, or an iTunes

playlist, from the Media pane to the

Audio well (Figure 4.17). You can also

drag audio ﬁles from the Finder.

When you add audio to the well, the Slide

Duration pop-up menu automatically

switches to Fit To Audio, which divides

the total audio playing time by the num-

ber of photos to come up with an equal

display time for each photo.

To set the audio volume:

u Drag the Slideshow volume slider to

control how loud or soft your background

music plays (Figure 4.18).

To remove background audio:

u In the Slideshow editor, drag the music

ﬁle out of the Audio well. A gray speaker

icon indicates that no audio is set.

4 Tips

n You can also drag QuickTime movies to

the Audio well; iDVD ignores the video

track and plays the audio.

n Need some visual entertainment in the

background at your next party (gotta

use that obnoxiously huge widescreen

television for something, right)? Load up

a slideshow with your favorite images and

drag an iTunes playlist to the Audio well.

If it’s an exceptionally long party, enable

the Loop slideshow option. Burn the disc,

pop it into your DVD player, and then go

mix some martinis!

Figure 4.17 Drag one or more songs from the Media

pane to the Audio well to add background audio.

Adding Background Audio

Figure 4.18 iDVD assumes you want softer music

behind your slideshow, and sets the Slideshow

volume slider to half the maximum volume.

Keep ’Em Entertained

Remember when I advised you to trim

your footage in iMovie so that your audi-

ence wouldn’t get bored? The same applies

to slideshows. I know, it’s so easy to just

drag virtual stacks of photos to iDVD—

there’s plenty of space on the disc, and it’s

quicker than sorting through them. Resist

that urge: Add only the good shots and

don’t ﬂirt with the limits of your viewers’

attentions.
