Its been a while since I have been on the forum, but I recently was approached by a gym to make their year end DVD, photos from the season set to music... I'm sure you know what kind I am talking about...???... I made this same type of DVD for the owner of the gym last year for her daughter's Christening and she loved it. I used idvd and just a basic template. I would like to step up my game a bit with this one. Can anyone suggest a good program to use that I can make this DVD? I do not use iphoto so I would like to look at something other than idvd again. If it matters, the photo software I use is LR2 and CS4 Extended. One of the complaints the gym had about last years DVD (I did NOT make that one...) was the very poor quality overall, pics and layout. I don't mind spending a bit to get something good since this is a paying gig.

Thanks,
Lance.

Have a look at this:

Boinx Software - FotoMagico - Overview

I got it with Toast Pro, and it's a very very nice piece of software. I haven't used it much yet, but it is very easy to use.
As there's a free trial, it has to be worth a look.

If you want something fairly simple have you thought of using iMovie? I used it for the very first time last week to make a record of a student (ages 11-18) art exhibition (York ISSP Art Masterclasses Spring 2010) and made what I thought was a not bad first attempt. Obviously with practise you could produce better but this only took a couple of hours from scratch.
