I am new to iMovie and your tutorials are the best! I am subscribing to your channel. Thanks! Cheers.
thanks
I have to thank you for the clarity with which you present the information. You're an extremely effective communicator.
Agreed. Information without waffling on about why he likes the effects or who he is or other time wasting nonsense. 👍🏻
Thank you, it was very helpful!
Thanks!
This was insanely helpful. Thank you for saving me SOOOOO much time!
Hi Gary, thank you for always sharing meaningful videos. Could you possibly show us how to do an ink transition effect using keynote and iMovie?
Yes please.
Can you give me an example? What do you consider an "ink transition effect?"
Thanks for responding Gary. I really appreciate it. Here’s a link for an example: motionarray.com/after-effects-templates/minimal-ink-transitions-762188/
Thanks! I like the captions underneath. It makes it easy to follow and you explained it without skipping steps, so it was easy to implement.
Super helpful and thank you Gary!
Thank you so much for your tutorial. It has helped me alot. You are awesome!
Thank you for helping us brother 🙏
These will be great for my Max Headroom styled vids.
Great information…..thank you!
Thanks Gary ! Do you have any suggestions for adding falling snow ?
Thank you for the info
Thanks for the video. How can I set the video behind the narrator like you are are using red one?
I'm using ScreenFlow to do that. macmost.com/j-screenflow (affiliate link)
Awesome information!! Thank you!
Hi Gary! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome video. I’ve been out of making videos for a while- but am getting back into it. I can’t wait to use your tips and tricks! 😊 Your videos are so easy to understand and follow along with- can’t wait to see more!
Excellent content and clearly explained as always. Thank you Gary!
Hi Gary, I watched a couple of your videos regarding iMovie. I shot a video on a green screen, but when I try to drag the background photo I want to use underneath in the timeline it keeps popping back up above the video. I tried holding, Command, Option, Control while dragging but the photo background keeps popping back above the video file so I can't use green screen. I do have the greenscreen/blue selected! What might I be doing wrong? I am using Monterey on 2015 27 in iMac.
Put the background in first. Then put the green screen video on top of it as an overlay.
Gary, is there a way to change audio in the video to mono in iMovie or is there a workaround to do so? Thank YOU for all your awesome tips. ~ Mike
Not directly. Hard to suggest something without knowing more. WHY would you want to convert to mono?
@@macmost I am using a stereo lav mic and when I turn my head while talking the sound moves. It can be annoying for the viewer so I'm thinking change to mono would resolve it. like to know your thoughts.
It would be cool if these backgrounds were available in Keynote etc.
Thank you but how do you put backgrounds BEHIND vertical videos?
I just did a video that shows this: ruclips.net/video/esz_6A6oHkM/видео.html
Hi, Gary. When I go to click on the backgrounds, it doesn’t let me drag and drop. Instead, it gives a red screen with the number 2 and a triangle with exclamation point in, like an error. I’m not sure how to fix this. If you have any advice, let me know!
Very nice.
How did you do your own red background behind you in this video?
Thank you, Gary, for showing us how it works.Another useful video tutorial! 👍🏻❤️
What if you wanted to add a background behind the video not inside the video? Just behind it?
Not sure what you mean.
Very good 👍🏽
Can you do this from the iMovie mobile app?
I don't think so.
Is there a way for the background just to replace the standard black space when the movie is not in 1920x1080?
Use a background as the main video timeline, and then put your non-wide clip above it as picture-in-picture. See macmost.com/filling-in-the-sides-of-vertical-video-in-imovie.html
@@macmost Ah, thanks
Is anyone having problems with iMovie after the last update? Mine is not syncing the audio and video in the time line.
I have a request for a video I currently use Google calendar and Apple calendar on my phone and my iPad and soon to be in my possession iMac 24 with the M1 processor. I’m curious as to what would be the correct way to set up the calendars so that when you make an appointment and one calendar it shows up in the other hand on all three devices also when you delete appointment on one calendar a deletes from both and again also on all three devices. And a caveat is I’m using a Gmail address for my calendar that is different from my Gmail address I log into Apple with.
You wouldn't set it up to copy appointments to different calendars. Then you'd have the same appointment twice. Just put it in one calendar and have that one calendar on all devices. Since you are using all Apple products you can do it on either iCloud or Google, but no need to have it in both places.
Hey Gary! Is there a way to have a background so that it covers the black edges BEHIND video?...I have 8mm films that are a different aspect ratio and leaves the edges black..like to fill those edges with color. possible? Seems that backgrounds only cover in front of videos. Thanks
Backgrounds are behind the video. Not sure what you mean by "only cover in front of videos." Make sure you put your background down first, then your video as the overlay above that.
@@macmost here a video explanation of my question.
ruclips.net/video/-go48dS-9sw/видео.html
Thanks
@@CarlaRuffiano Reverse it. Put the picture there first in the main timeline. Then put the video above that in the overlay.
@@macmost tried that before and again. nothing...just shows the picture that is on top, not overlay to other picture
@@macmost I remember doing this with "Vegas" editing program..was easy
These new backgrounds are not showing up it says 10.2.3 is the latest version.
Hi Gary, I am new to imovie. I want to make a video with similar background like yours, add pictures, texts, etc. Can you please send me your video link explaining the same?
I many videos on using iMovie at my site (macmost.com) and you can search for them there. I also have a course on iMovie at courses.macmost.com if you are interested.
@@macmost Thank you for your quick response. Your teachings are very simple and good 👍. Surely, I will visit your site to look for your video about using the BACKGROUND like yours.. if possible, can you please share a link about how you creating a video with the BACKGROUND for my quick reference?🙏 Thanks.
@@shaileshshah7777 Do you mean like in my tutorial videos? I'm not using iMovie for that. I created the background in Apple Motion and used an editor that had much more capabilities than iMovie to use it as a background with more elements than iMovie allows.
@@macmost ohhk. I don't understand Apple Motion & Editor..
Actually, I am interested in making videos on my subjects with the presentations similar to your videos.. can you please advise which app or software do you use for preparing & editing your videos? Thanks.
@@shaileshshah7777 I use ScreenFlow for recording and editing. But my animated background was built in Apple Motion.
What if in High Sierra the newest iMovie version it will run is 10.0.4
You'll need to upgrade past High Sierra.
Can you add more than two layers on images in iMovie?
No, you just have the primary timeline and one overlay.
I think that I'm in an older version because I cant have a background as well as the video and I don't have the new backgrounds and this is annoying because I post hamster videos and when filming my hamster, it's quite hard to always keep it as full screen and still be able to see my hamster. Does anyone know how to update Imovie? thanks
First, make sure your version of macOS is up-to-date. Then, go into the App Store app and go to Store, Updates.
I made a ten second clip with a bit of text and a background. I would like to copy that clip then just change the text. I can’t figure this out, please help. I’m on an iPad by the way. Thanks!
In iMovie for iPad, you can select a clip, then tap Actions, then Duplicate. That will allow you to duplicate a clip with a title. But if you also have a picture-in-picture above that, you'd need to do a separate Duplicate for that.
@@macmost I swear that wasn't there before! Wow, I am blind thanks!
I am still on Mohave. Can this work with it or do I need to update?
Only if you can use this latest version of iMovie. If you can't update to it with Mojave then you'll need to update your macOS version.
Hi Gary,
How do i put myself in the video as the background?
Not sure what you mean, but learn about overlays, particularly picture-in-picture if you want to combine two things in the frame at once. Or, maybe you are looking for Green Screen?
@@macmost I have a video that
I recorded and currently editing and wanting too know how to change my background. when I attempt to use the backgrounds in iMovie it doesn’t necessarily erase the background correctly
@@brijonbee Oh, so you don't want to make yourself the background, you want to change the background behind you? You would have had to film that in front of a green screen then. It can't just automatically cut out the background.
@@macmost thank you for this information!
Can I use the iMovie background for free for a video I am creating
Yes, of course. They are there to be used.
hello
The worst thing about background is that we can use it as a rectangle not square.
