Create new iMovie templates

The video editing program iMovie for Mac developed by Apple delivers impressive results for a fair price. For a more complex design of the videos, however, not only the editing options are limited, but also the pre-made topic templates are limited. No templates are offered for the user-friendly program itself. With the help of iDVD there is still a way to get new iMovie templates. You can find out how to do this in the instructions below.

1. Start iDVD and open a desired menu template.
2. Edit the template according to your ideas by changing the text placeholders and inserting your own photos or videos. You can follow their changes live using the play button.
3. Then save your result under "File" and select the option as "Save as VIDO-TS folder". An error message appears because you only want to export the menu.
4. Ignore the message, click "Open DVD card" and then drag any video file into the "Pop-up window".
5. Before you can save the file in a folder, you must give it a name. Then close the iDVD.
6. The created VOB file cannot be read by iMovie. Convert the file with a Video Converter for Mac, such as "Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate" or the freeware "Free Studio" into a format compatible with iMovie like .mov or .mp4.
7. Now you can easily integrate the file with your desired template into your iMovie project.
