Hi, I am using iMovie 10.3.5 to assemble photo slideshows these have been done successfully, the problem I am having is getting the iMovie slideshows onto Toast 20 Titanium version 20.3. to burn the DVD
I have attempted to do this numerous ways without success. I am sure that I am missing something simple but I cannot see it!!
Can anyone help me?

What, exactly, is the problem (or error message) you are getting when you try to import into Toast?
You *should* be able to export from iMovie to either MPEG4 (MP4) or QuickTime (.mov) and have Toast import it fine. However, in iMovie, DO NOT export with the "Best Quality" option because that will generate a QT .mov file using ProRes, which, as far as I know, Toast does not support.

After you export the movie to MP4, does the exported video play on your Mac?
Open it in QuickTime, then do Window > Show Movie Inspector and post a screenshot of all the details about the file.
Thank you for your reply.
I have ensured that I changed the “best quality” setting but still no success, and the strange thing is that I get NO error messages. The slide show appears to be in MP4 format so this would appear to be correct.
I have gone back over and over the sequence but still no success, I am obviously doing something wrong but I have no idea what so I hope you can give me some further guidance.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help, I took your advice, reviewed the various steps to take and it worked. The only thing I can think of is that I missed a step in all my earlier attempts.
Thanks again.
