    In Photos for Mac you can save the slideshow as a video file - just click the "Export" button.

     

    If you want the video to play in a DVD player, you need authoring software to burn a video DVD, for example iDVD, if you still have it installed or Burn.

     

    To burn the video DVD see the links below:

     

    How to create a video-DVD? (Macs without iDVD)

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?

    when I click Export, there is no option to Save as slideshow.

    I have burned to a dvd before and remember it being simple, but not seeing it this time.

    I have also gone through sending it to iTunes to get to burn to dvd, but that was before iPhotos switched to Photos, I think.

    What am I missing/

    exporting does not make a slide show - you make a side show and hen you export it (file menu ==> export)

    Resolved.  I exported to iTunes. Then got it into Finder. Burned a disc ( even though the directions seemed backwards).

    when I click Export, there is no option to Save as slideshow.

    The "Export" button in the Slideshow panel in Photos will save the slideshow as a video. There are no other options to save the slideshow.

    The different video format options are at the bottom of the Export window:

    By default the video will be saved in the Movies folder, but you can select a different folder in the Finder.

    If you burn the folder as as DVD, it will be a data DVD with the video.  To create a video DVD you still need authoring software like iDVD.
