[@botabob]

Another Black Diamond tip video. Thank you Gary. Enjoy The Journey - Cheers

[@WigWagWorkshop]

Awesome! Very helpful, I was going crazy on my last project trying to figure this out. I ended up cropping the video before adding to library.

[@BCsells]

Love this!! Thank you!!

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very detailed. I don't use iMovie a great deal, but; it's a nice tool to have.

[@iml1945]

Well done Gary. Could you also explain how you can put an overlay on top of the main video. Select Green Screen and move the handles to eliminate a portion of the overlay. This is a trick for cloning a person? I tend to have a problem grabbing the circles at the boundary of the green screen to alter the overlay.

[@macmost]

There's no much to explain. Yes, you just grab those circles at the corners. It is for if the green screen doesn't cover the whole background of the clip.

Hey Garry! I have decided to update my MacBook air from Ventura to Sequoia. External ssds are expensive can I backup time machine on my pen drive?

[@macmost]

Rarely are those small drives big enough for a Time Machine backup, which should ideally be 2x the size of the drive you are backing up, or much more. You don't need an SSD though. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnmTlGaBbteSnMk

@@macmost Thank you so much for the quick reply that video really helped.

I wish iMovie has the duplicate command so that the editors can duplicate the clip for edting while keep the orginal clip preserve.

[@macmost]

Copy and paste?

[@honey4xi]

@@macmost It works. Copy the clip and paste into another project media for croping.

[@MaiElizabeth]

VN has the option to Duplicate. Although it is same as Copy-Paste, Duplicate is easily because we can duplicate and place the duplicate clip with certainty.

Request: for your likely-upcoming ipad video can you show how to disable the handwriting correction “feature” in Notes? i opted into the popup and now i am losing my mind, it’s terrible for me, and i can’t find the setting.

[@macmost]

In the toolbar at the bottom with the pens and colors, tap the three-dots button there and turn off "auto-refine handwriting."

[@ArleyMcBlain]

i just found it too haha! bonkers it’s not in Settings, Pencil - but whatever. What a relief. My ipad hopefully will stop its new habit of crashing once a day now. Gary you rock!

[@ArleyMcBlain]

it’s insane that i still get the blue spell check underlines!

[@MaiElizabeth]

I use this feature a lot in my youtube videos but I use VN Video Editor because I'm lazy to edit videos on MacBook . 😂

[@workinprogress9613]

I've never understood why Apple doesn't just make all the crop options available in both areas before and after adding it

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

NIce. A tip that would be hard to come by otherwise.

[@ASP11290]

How about an intro to gaming on a Mac?

[@macmost]

That's a big subject. What would be interested in learning? There's casual gaming and hard-core gaming, and everything in-between. There's the Mac App Store, web downloads, and also game systems like Steam. Retro gaming too. It is a huge topic, even just sticking to an "intro" video.

[@ASP11290]

@@macmost I think you should give it a try. After all, it's part of the Apple Universe. Just a little bit about Mac configuration, controller vs. keyboard, and types of games. That's all.
