[MattsMacintosh]

@TheLilmonn No need to subscribe, here is how its done: You can either use Quicktime (which is free), or get an app like Screenflow or Camtasia.

[TheLilmonn]

[stormaggedon97]

Hi, I was just wondering what version of iMovie you used as when I try and insert the iMovie icon, as in your tutorial, it only gives me the options to replace or insert (not side-by-side, cutaway, green screen etc. like you have). Thank you for your help and please respond as I want to use this effect in a movie I am giving my grandma for Christmas :P

[AngeliquesLOVE]

hey mat,you know when you made the iMovie icon appear there was like 2 beam lights ,I've been trying to look for that,is that in iMovie ,if so where a bouts.cheers :)

[LittleGeezerBros]

Call me crazy, but is realism a word? Thanks though, totally helped out.

[MattsMacintosh]

@LittleGeezerBros Glad you liked the video. You're joking about realism not being a word, right?

[thespyofficial]

@MattsMacintosh how did you make it seem like it was in the room because i can't make it seem like its actually IN THE ROOM. plz respond

[mostinho9]

@LittleGeezerBros yes realism is a word

[philskymadison]

I feel more confident in both the Mac and its software. Thanks to you I can know what to do when i finally get my hands on the Mac itself. Can't wait to make some Youtube videos. And trust me I will make sure to credit you and give you a special thanks.

[SWEPUNKAREN]

[drkbrth]

Is it possible to have 2 icons at the same time? When i try it, it either shows 1 only, or the 2nd one just comes up as a skewed 1st image.

[MotionPlusA]

stick a picture on a video does not work for me.

Can you help me?

[Booksareepic]

So these are the effects for the Harry Potter fan right?

[fkeeler11]

@MattsMacintosh Hey I was wondering how you got the iMovie icon to be a transparent background PNG image. How do you do that? Whenever I try to insert an image the background isn't transparent. And I'm definitely sure I have iMovie '11, because I just got my mac a few months ago. Thanks for your help!

[mrRhwalden]

Thanks, I didn't know about the advance features. This will make my videos much better! Now I want to shoot some more raw footage!

Thanks,

[phillipechols]

awesome.

[MrRyanrobertson]

How do I go about making other special effects like explosions or fire at the end of a gun barrel when it fires

[celticguardian951]

How did you make the icon have a transparent background?

[iluvozzy2006]

Is it possible for someone to shrink in action in imovie? What I mean is not to just make the person tiny in comparison to other things with a green screen, but seeing a person shrink or grow. Is that possible to do in imovie '11?

[yakalboi]

[ECAbrams]

These are some awesome tips for folks just starting out. Very cool DIY stuff right here.

[MattsMacintosh]

@ECAbrams Thanks dude. By the way, I've been subbed to your channel for a while. Loved your Death Star over Ottawa video. Everyone check out ECAbrams channel for some great After Effects tutorials.

[ECAbrams]

@MattsMacintosh Praise from Caesar. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for the shout-out and I'm glad you like the tutorials.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

Well made tutorials, but I really hate the iMovie interface. I still stick to iMovie 06.

[drmr]

thanks matt

[TechTeacher77]

Good job Matt, only been using iMovie for a few weeks, so it's nice to get tips on out of the box ways to make the software more powerful.

[greenscreeningthings]

Hmm, I'm very good at finding those little things in iMovie that can be used for other things, but the way you did the floating is genius and just what I was looking for!!

thanks :)

[pwproductions1]

@MattsMacintosh  Once again thanks for another awesome tutorial!

[MrTalkapple]

Thumbs up if matts your favorite youtuber

[mrdinh1]

[OnlineFishTank]

@XxTheTechxX Thanks for the heads up, I'm amazed he made a video that quickly just for my question. Incredible!

[nanngg]

You are the best Youtuber EVER!!!!!!!

[OnlineFishTank]

Hey Matt, basically, I wanted to do picture in picture with a twitter logo, but I didn't want the white background surrounding the logo. So I used instant alpha in Preview to get rid of it. But when I do picture in picture in iMovie, it instantly applies the ken burns effect, which is very annoying. When I disable the ken burns effect, I get a large black area surrounding the pip image, showing what I just removed using instant alpha.

Any ideas, I am using iMovie 09.

Thanks, Chris

[MattsMacintosh]

@OnlineFishTank I see someone already told you, but I made a video response for you to help you out. Its posted as a reply to this video so others can see it. Hopefully it will solve your problems.

[ChrisJoEllis94]

@MattsMacintosh It certainly has, thanks dude!

[Eightpspi]

[collintheapplegeek]

Nice video!

[nicdem25]

These videos are very helpful. Thanks for making them.

[Jakkinator45]

there used to be a machine that did that in the 80's, i remember seeing it

on computer chronicles, ahhh the 80s

[AppleTalker1]

Keep up these tutorials! I really like them and they're really useful! Tutorial master!!

[breadandbutter6]

[TopOfTheTech]

[Shihail]

Great job, this might sound a little random but you look a lot like a helicopter pilot I met when I was in the US. Thanks again for the vid !

[Blacktouch11]

You are amazing!

[tvrijenhoef]

Your the best!

[TopOfTheTech]

the quality and time you put into your videos easily makes you my favorite macintosh youtuber ;)

[ridsdas]

Genious

[deroink]

Amazing video!

[HackTheTouch]

Once again Matt, INSANELY great job. Truly top notch.

[BYKawashima]

Great Job! Keep up the awesome work! Your explanations and step by step instructions are incredible!!!

[HLM190586]

It's amazing you can do that in iMovie. I always thought only Final Cut can do that kind of thing.

[HLM190586]

Hey hey I have the same IKEA black paper box as you! ^_^

[bobbys999]

Is their free pre keyed effect or cheap good ones

[videogamehero1o0]

do you need imovie 11 to do this?

[TommyBNSF]

@videogamehero1o0 for the echo effect at 0:09, that is an iMovie 11 feature. Otherwise you should be able to do it in iMovie 09.

[modnationx20]

I watch these videos even though I do not own a Mac. Love your videos, Matt.

[TheAr287]

Very clever thinking to come up with these ideas. all these things i already know how to do but would of never thought to do them as special effects.

[Hauntzor]

This is even better than the last one! I plan to use some of these in my upcoming video. I'll be sure to post a response.
