Sharing Scored Movies

When you’ve finished creating the perfect soundtrack for your movie, you’ll want to share it with as many people as you can.

You can send your scored movie to iWeb to post on the Internet, or to use it as part of a video podcast series. Or you can send the movie to iDVD, so you can create a DVD that anyone can watch on a DVD player.

Tips

Customize the video compression settings to suit your needs

You can customize the video compression settings to support how you're distributing your movie. Choose GarageBand > Preferences, and then click Export. In the Export pane, choose the setting you want to use from the Movie Settings pop-up menu.

Test your output in the format it's going to be viewed in

Before you sign off on your project, export your movie to the format your audience will use and listen to the audio yourself. You may find that the mix you created while listening to the higher-quality audio in GarageBand needs to be adjusted to sound right in a lower-quality format.

Steps

When you finish scoring your movie, there are lots of ways to share it

You can send it to iWeb to share it as a video podcast or blog. Go to the Share menu and choose Send Podcast to iWeb. In iWeb, you can publish the video as part of your webpage, blog, or video podcast series.
You can burn your movie to a DVD for others to watch. Go to the Share menu and choose Send to iDVD. GarageBand exports the video and opens iDVD so you can design the DVD experience for your video.
You can export the movie as a QuickTime movie to send in an email, or place on a server. Just go to the Share menu and choose Export as QuickTime Movie. Choose a location to save the movie, and click Export.
