[AL00ZER]

@masterchief5679 sorry my reply comment popped up like 5 times. I was having a case of bad internet. lol. yup, here to help, glad to help!

[OverloadedArsenal]

Can you tell me how to add the sound effects????

[AL00ZER]

@OverloadedArsenal I plan on doing imovie 11 tutorials on my second channel because of copyright bla bla bla. I will throw in a sound effects tutorial video. What would you like to know? second channel youtube username: 2ndL00zer

[masterchief5679]

Could you do a tutorial of a blood effect? and here's my problem. I got all the footage with action essentials, but the footage won't play. it just freezes when i play it. HELP!

[AL00ZER]

@masterchief5679 read description. Your question is answered there.

[Randomvids412]

i also use motion 5 too.

[Randomvids412]

I i got it. it was 107$ with shipping. You can use it in imovie. And the only was to impot it is to drag and drop from the dvd. The muzzle flashes ar not too big yyou can resize them.

[AL00ZER]

@Randomvids412 it is a great buy!

[OverloadedArsenal]

@Randomvids412 You may have not realized it but you have saved my life with telling me that. THNX

[heavymetalboy1]

those muzzle flashes are way to big

[iizrad2006]

how much does the action essentials pack 2 cost?

[Randomvids412]

how would i have to import them

[AL00ZER]

@Randomvids412 /watch?v=ffqyIW47VxU

[Randomvids412]

did your action essentials 2 come pre keyed. like did it have a transparent background already. I also have a mac book air. is there a way i can download it or do i have to get it on cd

[AL00ZER]

@Randomvids412 See the link in the description. The footage will have no background if you import the files correctly.

[Matopeck22America]

@Randomvids412 no, and you have to buy a cd usually around 100$

boobies

[TheBlackCricket]

hahahahahaha imovie

[sutol226]

How do you do this when your camera is moving, for example the person runs arund wth a gun shooting but the muzzle flash stays in the same position-not with the gun, so how do you motion track? VERY IMPORTANT I NEED TO KNOW ASAP

[AL00ZER]

@sutol226 you cannot motion track in iMovie. My idea, is to do a bunch of single muzzleflashes instead of using one of the full auto muzzle flashes. Line up each sinlg muzzle flash individually.

[sutol226]

@AL00ZER what about in final cut pro x-i have that too?

[AL00ZER]

@sutol226 you should just do your whole movie in Final Cut Pro X, and not even use iMovie. Final Cut Pro X is like a hybrid between iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I am very skilled in Final Cut Pro and iMovie, but I have not used Final Cut Pro X. I do not think FCPX has motion tracking, but for muzzle flashes, I would imagine you could rotoscope them. Rotoscoping is much faster than tracking if you only have to worry about a small section of film.

[pocketburgers]

my pre keyed footage is also action essentials, but when i put my effects in the footage won't play. what do i do?

[AL00ZER]

@pocketburgers This is normal. I modified the description to explain your situtation. Read the description. All what matters is how your video looks in the end, not how iMovie plays it. iMovie is not a very powerful program.

[PaleRiderOnTheStorm]

how do i get all the frames on one page, when i move the 5s bar it makes me scroll sideways to view all the footage

[AL00ZER]

@PaleRiderOnTheStorm move the bar the other way. You can get it to .5 seconds

[Cookiemonster847111]

how do i make the black surrounding the gunshot clear like yours. my muzzle flash has a black box surrounding it

[AL00ZER]

@Cookiemonster847111 click the first link in the description and it could fix your problem (you could just be importing the video incorrectly it the video claims to be pre-keyed)

[Cookiemonster847111]

@AL00ZER  it still won't work

[magicandstuff123]

can u do a removing black backgrounds tutorial especially 4 muzzle flashes because its hard to line them up!!!!!!!!!!!!??

[AL00ZER]

@WhitestoneGaming on the way!

[wildmanbeyond]

where can you get gun sounds from movies?

[AL00ZER]

@wildmanbeyond read description

[Danieleriviello]

mind has a black background do you know how to fix it, please.

[AL00ZER]

@Danieleriviello pay attention to the annotations that pop up after 7:43 click on the one about removing black back grounds. or see the link in description about removing black backgrounds

[ScBloveKzP]

mind has the black background... :( do you know how to fix it? plszzz

[AL00ZER]

@ScBloveKzP does your Action Essentials 2 have a black background or just your video footage have a black background. Either way, for now, see the relevant link in the description about removing black backgrounds. Also in that video, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THE DESCRIPTION of that video

[tickabull]

ima do a muzzle flash wit a nerf gun :P

[Ipuffyy]

HAHA don't hi five guns

[DaNumba1Ninja]

Also, when you add the AE2 effect to your project and then click play, does the AE2 effect freeze as soon as it pops up in the project? This happens to me every time. Anyway, do you have a way to fix this problem besides exporting and reimporting?

[AL00ZER]

@DaNumba1Ninja It will always freeze. The reason it freezes is the high quality special effect combined with the video is a lot for iMovie to keep track of. Don't worry about the freezing. All what matters is how your video looks at the end, not how iMovie plays it.

[DaNumba1Ninja]

Low-quality camera indeed!  It's better than mine...LOL
