[@cherrieannvaldez1003]

Solopreneur Sidekick Hi i cannot export the keynote in transparent im using an iphone can you help me? Thanks!

[@betawolfmedia9895]

When exporting the final video from iMovie, it's possible that the animated graphic doesn't save during export. So after you export your iMovie file, save it to your desktop, open it up, watch it all the way through - NO ANIMATION. Can you explain WHY?

[@mamakmetal]

Solopreneur Sidekick thank you for the tutorial....this tuto i’ve been looking for... 🤩👍🏻

Such a kind message - thanks for leaving it!

[@StockMusicLinks]

THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I really wanted to added animated graphics without hiring someone or using expensive editing plug ins. You literally just saved me a lot of time and money. Also, thanks for making this clear and concise. Straight to the point: no filler or wasted time. Amazing!

[@rajanikantmetri423]

Simple and effective method. Great Video Louise.

[@conservativeliberal]

You have no idea how frustrating it was to learn this I watched a course of a guy explaining how to use after effects and premiere for 2 hours!! And this is all I wanted to learn omg I love you

[@louisehenry]

haha I love you right back! sooooo much easier, right?!

[@a59028]

Finally , someone who speaks clearly and slowly lol thank you so much !!! 🤗❤️

[@louisehenry]

hehe yes!! I really can't follow when people speed on through! Glad you liked it

[@thelightworksmethod3382]

Awesome video, thank you so much!!! For those who have the Catalina issue (the animated graphic's background appears black in iMovie although it is exported as transparent from Keynote) I just tested another idea: instead of setting the background on Keynote as transparent (no fill), make it green, export as movie ProRes 4444 (so follow the rest of Luise's instructions) and in iMovie, put the animated clip on your main timeline clip, go up right to Cutaway (if you can't find it it appears when you click those two squares on top of each other on the left) and select Green/Blue screen. The background will become transparent and you have the same effect ;)

[@starlitsmile1]

This worked, and saved me hours of figuring it out. Thank you!!

Thannnkkkk you soo much!!!! never even thought of putting the two together ..

[@Partlywater]

My wife has just started her YT career and we were not in a position to spend more on an advanced video editor or pay for logo animations. I managed to create a logo for her after learning for a while and now this video has really injected some energy in me that I can create something great for her. I am so thankful and grateful that I could learn this for free.

[@BarbiieLici0us]

Hi, I just want to know if I am doing it wrong but when I drag the animation on top of my clip, it's still black in the background. I watched your video like 5x back to back to make sure I am doing it right...do you have an idea? Thanks

[@lindalupus2771]

I have the same problem 😩😩😩

[@louisehenry]

Hey guys! I just tested it - if you have the latest version of Keynote, you also have to check the box that says "Export with transparent backgrounds" So when you've completed your animation, you'll click "File" > "Export To" > "Movie" > "Resolution: Custom..." > check "Apple ProRes 4444" and ALSO check "Export with transparent backgrounds" :)

[@louisehenry]

Check my response! :)

[@BarbiieLici0us]

Unfortunately it is not free anymore to download pictures with transparent backgrounds on Canva :(

[@charlottemorabito]

Tomas Kristiansen you can download transparent icons from the Noun Project for free as long as it’s not for commercial use. There are a bunch of places online that provide free transparent icons if you google!

[@tomaskristiansen]

@@charlottemorabito Do you know about something that is for commercial use? I've tried for some time now, without any luck...

[@charlottemorabito]

Tomas Kristiansen I would check out flaticon or freepik. There’s also wiki commons or even look on dafont for symbol fonts that are free for commercial use. You can also download from Canva on a solid color background and use the free photoshop like program called “gimp” that will let you remove the background

[@charlottemorabito]

Neil Mossey You can definitely download on Canva with a solid white or other colored background and then use Photoshop or Gimp to remove the background!

[@SoVidushi]

Tomas Kristiansen use picsart!

[@ChefEvanOutdoors]

I feel like i'm missing a step... when I move from Keynote to iMovie the back ground is black and not transparent... I will continue to trouble shoot this but maybe you have a tip or a nudge in the right direction?

[@zahaiaaa]

The same thing is happening to me. Did you figure out what the problem was?

[@johnjames4618]

set the background to blue or green instead. use the blue/green screen as a temp solution

[@charlottemeddins5231]

Thank you for this! I attempted to do it myself, however unlike your video that allows your graphics to lie on top of your video mine only shows the black screen and the graphic until that section ends and then my video continues. @Louise Henry

[@bibionline8162]

at the very end before you export the animation make sure you go to custom an change it

[@louisehenry]

Hey guys!

[@davidjudson6710]

Several others have commented below that the technique does not work, possibly as a result of OS Catalina. I had the same experience on my MacOS Catalina running Keynote 9.2 and Canva Pro. After playing around a bit, I found a possible workaround. I bypassed Canva and just built the animated graphic on a blank canvas in Keynote. After making sure that the "no fill' option was selected as Louise had suggested, I exported the file as an "Animated GIF". When I imported it into iMovie, it worked for me for a test graphic.

[@thelightworksmethod3382]

this totally works. I used Canvas and followed all the instructions Luise gave here - awesome video btw, thank you soooo much Solopreneur Sidekick! - and just exported as animated GIF. The duration of the clip was significantly shorter, no idea if this was because of my settings, or if that's just the nature of GIFs, but I solved the problem by copy-pasting the last frames in order to keep the end longer. Not very elegant, but worked for now ;) thank you very much David! (For me it was a Catalina, not a Keynote version problem)

[@kiloqubit]

Great tip, I didn't realize you could export a video from Keynote. The only issue I see is that Keynote doesn't give you an option to set the framerate for the exported video, and just exports in 30 fps. This is fine if your timeline is 30 fps, but if you want to put into a 24 fps timeline without frame skipping, it's going to play back a little slower.
