1. Before exporting iMovie to iDVD, consider whether you want a scene selection menu on your DVD. If not, simply make sure that your clips are organized in the timeline in the order that you want to view them.

Select a clip in the iMovie timeline.

From the Markers menu, select Add a Chapter Marker.

Note: you can remove a Chapter Marker by selecting a previously marked movie clip and then selecting Delete Chapter Maker).
