[M1LS572]

Thank you, this is really helpful.

Hey what screen recorder do you use, I'm trying to find something cheap that still does good video quality and has an external mic input, and will also record ALL audio from the computer, like game audio and skype at the same time as my audio without having to post commentate. Can you help me out? Great video by the way! Really helpful!

[myna92]

why does my iMovie shut down on me when i move the picture i add to the video?

[SimplyDesTV]

How do I add two different fonts and/or 2 or more colors to a title? When I try to alter this it changes the whole title versus allowing me to change just one word...thanks a bunch!

[WebTechGeniuSs101]

Hey great video tutorial on iMovie.

[forlifeIdie]

I have the problem that some parts are still black, but other areas aren't?

But I have deleted the background correctly because in others applications the background is completely transparent.

Please Help !

hey my video freezes at the exact second i put the picture in picture. will it play like that when i upload it?. if so how do i negate it?.

[mgdepaz]

Hi, sorry for the lame question. So how do i actually create a PNG file with text, as you did in this particular vid? Is there a free software that i can use? Or does mi Mac book pro have it already?

[monnard73]

i do get two black frames on top and on the bottom of my png. might be just that the problem of not having enough white space around the logo? I will try with a bigger logo with more white space around it then.

How can i add an image onto a title page? so i have the title page but i also want an image on that actual page?

[AG4992]

whats the size of the logo's canvas ?

[mario11xx]

dumb question. what program makes the mouse cursor blink? every time he clicks on something, a little blue colors show up then disappear?

[QuoteAspex]

@mario11xx i think it is because he is recording his screen?

[jeremypeters100]

Hi I have a Question, how did you get that font of "skinny tall letters" i really want that?

[colorsmitten]

i hope you still reply comments on this video, but can i for example move an image from left to right through out a video, like make it move in the video?

[Pyrotoxic92]

Holy Crap thank you so much! i have spent WAY to long looking for a way on how to do this!!!

[thecatdaddyg]

if you want the text to stay still, why don't you just crop it?

[santiagoriosacosta]

Hello: Great explanation. I want to know how you can add text )from the text option of Imovie) and inserted like picture into picture. And make it bigger or smaller and move the text around the main picture as I want. Thanks for your help

[zippie41]

[theyworld]

I HAVE a text "extra chanel" is not Png file, it is only text on ODT file on "openOffice" i want to covert it on png what can i do? please help me!

[denhooks]

my logo is only showing part of logo in the video. even after resizing. can you help

[miamiskimmer]

YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAiraidWay]

I watched your video and made a PNG in PS. When I bring in the image, it cause that part of the video to Freeze up. I can hear the sound, however the image does not show up and the video just freezes.... Is there a fix for this problem?

[redtrolleyhomes]

@TheAiraidWay - I'm having the same problem. Help!

[TheAiraidWay]

@redtrolleyhomes : What is happening is that Imovie freezes when you go to play it back.. Play the scene when you add the image and it will be fine, or simply Export the video and watch and the scene will not freeze. I agree it's a pain, but when you export the video it will not freeze that section.

Hope that helps.

[redtrolleyhomes]

@TheAiraidWay - that does help, thanks!

[NVHockey5]

where did u make the logo?

[jmsbicca]

Hey man ... Cool tutorial -- For some reason, my logo png file is cut off when I drag it into imovie. Then, when I try to crop it, I am limited to half the logo...

Do you know what this issue could be?

Cheers

[gaiapaian]

I have struggled to avoid the black background on my transparent logo when I put it into the movie, without success. Have checked many tutorials without finding an explanation, and now you explain so simply that you have to have some space around the logo. Now it works fine. THANK YOU!

[meetbrycetv]

i love you! thank you so much.

[stljewishlight]

Thanks, this helped me out a lot. One thing I can't seem to find out how to do would be adding a watermark onto the video if there is a cut-away picture. Any suggestions, or is this impossible to do?

[PJRock7]

why can't you simply drag and drop the logo image into the title text section? Why make the program counter intuitive? Why?

[bdomotokid]

how did u make the logo at the very bigining

[smolcaps]

1. how do you create "organic" supers? those supers that seem to move the way the camera moves-like the text is actually a part of the surroundings?

[randrewm97]

awesome thanks. i didnt feel like getting on my pc... and this is actually easier than i was thinking it was going to be.

[iluvpichu]

Awesome. Not copying or anything, but how do you make that cool title? Or something different? I need it for some vids

[snapmatt08]

Hi - thank you for the video tutorial. I am creating a text block in photoshop (CS4), rasterizing it, saving as a .png file, and following your method. Problem is, the text is coming out pixelated (big time!), I've tried hi res files, different font sizes, etc. Any suggestions?

[rjwalkerzz]

my png keeps bringing in a white background with it.... even though i know its transparent. is this an imovie issue or my file?

[TheHowToMac]

@rjwalkerzz I've never hear the background turning to white usually it turns to black if you try to edit it in imovie. I would make sure you properly removed the background from your png file. I have videos on how to do this using pixlr and gimp

[adamwaid81]

Can I add text onto a video overlay?

[TheHowToMac]

@adamwaid81 Yes you can. just drag a text from imovie over the area you have overlayed your movie. If you need to add more than one title to a project at the same time you will have to export the clip, reimport it and add the text separately. imovie doesn't allow you to do multiple texts at the same time. hope this helps

[bhamlefty24]

thank you

[TheDragonsword123]

Wow this was really helpful. I was wondering how you could add logos.
