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

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

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!

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!

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.
