Exporting Slideshows to QuickTime Movies

iPhoto slideshows are great if people can gather at your computer, but iPhoto’s QuickTime movie export is the easiest way—much easier than iMovie or iDVD—to create a slideshow you can post on a Web page or send to others in email or on CD.

To export a slideshow to a QuickTime movie:

1.	Select the saved slideshow you wish to export.
2.	Choose Export from the File menu (). iPhoto displays the Export dialog.
3.	Name your movie in the Save As field, choose a destination from the Where pop-up menu, and choose how large you want the movie to be from the Movie Size pop-up menu (Figure 5.13). Figure 5.13. In the Export dialog, name your movie, choose a destination folder, and choose how large you want the movie to be.
4.	Click Export to build the movie.
5.	Switch to the Finder, locate your movie, and double-click it to see the results in QuickTime Player (Figure 5.14). Figure 5.14. To view your movie, double-click it in the Finder to open it in QuickTime Player. [View full size image]
