[hazzastylesvampire]

i love ur videos, im getting an imac mainly for imovie, but can u do a video with all the text effects, video effects and picture effects please

[chloeautumn1]

imovie is easier but final cut is more professional



[kaninkapa]

can you make a tutorial on how to add film burn transittions in imovie and/or final cut pro x ?

[thebob7255]

can u please do the same thing but with the new final cut pro X please i really need to learn hoe to make objects move, grow and more please help

[JakesTechBox]

Still great :D

[Leolwo1]

can you do some iPod/iPhone imovie tests plz

[Rockiscoolyeah]

Aaaaaahaahha the old youtube



[moojaynemoo]

where did you get your green screen?

[iluvozzy2006]

Can you make a person grow from a miniature height to a height much taller than your normal height?

[MattsMacintosh]

@iluvozzy2006 In Final Cut that would be easy, but it would require a little more work in iMovie. The basic concept is the same: shoot green screen then edit.

[iluvozzy2006]

@MattsMacintosh oh ok thank you

[Snc6475]

Hey Matt,

How did you do the thing with your mouse at 1:56? Is that your screen recording or is it Final Cut iMovie?

By the way, can you do a cloning tutorial for iMovie if you know how to??

Thanks!

[Leolwo1]

@Snc6475 imovie

[simpsonmusic]

Is this for 09? Don't get the the Ken Burns choice.. just Crop or Fit..

Thanx

[MusicSwipe72]

Hey Matt, do you know how I can blur out personal info in my videos with iMovie '11? thanks.

[legoguy514]

Will a blue screen work instead of green screen

[iAmATechGeek]

@legoguy514 Yes. Make sure you choose the blue screen option when you place it in. I made a video about it, check out my channel! :)

[techforever1]

Hi Matt!, I am a HUGE fan of your film making tutorials! I saw the videos you made and it inspired me! I have learned SO much from you! I have used final cut express 2.0 on my eMac for awhile. But seeing your video tutorials on YouTube I decided to buy Final Cut Pro 5 from Amazon.com. And just from watching this video I learned how to do Keyframing in FCP. It is very useful especially for special effects and music videos! Thanks!

Please check out the videos on my channel!

[MattsMacintosh]

@techforever1 No problem, glad you like the videos.

[iAmATechGeek]

@techforever1 Sign of the times. Final Cut 5? eMac? Final Cut Express 2.0? Wake up! :)

[jsevs]

does imovie detect the greenscreen?

I tried what you did with a random video (no greenscreen) and i don't get the list of options you get when dragging a clip over another clip.

HELP

[guidobertisch2]

@jsevs You need to go to imovie preferences and click on show advanced tools.

[BlakeOBrien1]

how did you get your dock to look like that?

[drrobertoboogie97]

@BlakeOBrien1

1. Open up Terminal

2. Type "defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES" and hit Return

3. Type "killall Dock" and hit Return

4. Quit Terminal

Now you have a 2d dock.

[metal50231]

does this work in FCE

[leenevin2]

i have imovie hd on my powerbook, can it do this feature? :)

[HelmetBoyAndFriends]

IMOVIE IS WAYYY MORE BADASS THEN I THOUGHT

[aelitahopper1227]

danks a whole lot very helpful

[rianne1387]

I saw somewhere a video with the shrinking effect but than they made little cars and buildings looking very small any idea how i can do that?

[MattsMacintosh]

@rianne1387 That's called tilt shifting. Its a blur effect.

[rianne1387]

@MattsMacintosh ow thanks :)

[sonicfreak04]

I wish the shrink was more realistic

[MsJas666]

how do u do this in sony vegas pro 9?

[braks458]

i have trouble on imovie dragging the green screen footage to be in the back round video how can i solve this problem?

[MSComputerVideos]

Anybody know what the background is on his Mac?

[VideoGamingDog]

Matt, I learned a lot from the green screen in iMovie. It helped me in a newscast we have to do in middle school. So, thanks Matt!

[iGeniusHD]

Can you please make a video on green screening tutorial, I've looked at soooooo many but can't get it right, I think you would explain it the best! :D

[Pietrooesteves]

I like your wallpaper :O

[Andres95chava]

How can i make a homemade greenscreen ? LOW BUDGET

[MattsMacintosh]

@Andres95chava I actually bought mine off Amazon for just $30. You could always try and find a bright green bed sheet as well.

[Andres95chava]

@MattsMacintosh Thanks haha i was thinking some dumb troll would insult me ! haha

[Vgames98]

@Andres95chava amother good way is bright green postreboard

[Vgames98]

@Andres95chava another good way is to ues bright green posterboard!

[TheRealGeek001]

@Andres95chava I've made one for less than $5. Look on my channel.

[anther93]

i have Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere CS5 :)

[dermagicmax]

Is that Final Cut Pro? Because you have so few filters, it looks like FCE to me...

[MattsMacintosh]

@dermagicmax Its Pro (check out the name in the corner). I just don't use a lot of filters (or Final Cut in general) that often, so I don't have a lot installed.

[connymacbook]

do you have final cut pro or final cut express? And would you recommend that I get final cut?

[afterall30]

@connymacbook look at the top left, it says final cut pro. lol

also I recommend Adobe Premiere Pro, its exactly like final cut.

[connymacbook]

@afterall30 FAIL, thanks for the advice :)

[MattsMacintosh]

@connymacbook I have both, but I would only recommend them if you want to do some serious editing and effects. I've always said that iMovie can do 95% of what the average users wants.

[AppleTalker1]

Awww I only have Final Cut Express and iMovie, does it work for express??

[da3399jk]

what camera you use to shoot your videos?

[MattsMacintosh]

@da3399jk T2i

[thetechfixer]

Wish I Had A Mac!

[voldermort21]

[JamesWilliamsRealtor]

You are a great teacher. This awesome, thanks!

[coldhell123]

u r so creative , i like ur way of making things very simple , good luck matt

[MyiPodReviewer]

Can you show us how to do it in Sony Vegas Pro 9 if you have it? That would be realy great!

[PresentedIn4D]

@MyiPodReviewer FVP isn't or mac :(

[luxio43]

@MyiPodReviewer use the pan/crop tool just search on youtube

[RandomGuyWeird]

How do you get iMovie to recognize your green screen footage as such?

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@RandomGuyWeird you have to go to settings an enable advanced tools

[iStalkApple]

@RandomGuyWeird At the top of iMovie, click it then click Perferences and select the option "Show Advanced Tools" then you will be able to do this.

[vivelecorn]

FCP FTW!

[KennyMataz]

i probably could do it on powerdirector  8

[KungFuMastur]

Can this be done with Sony Vegas Pro 9?

[KennyMataz]

awesome Matt!, if i had iMovie :P
