Apple made sure that the keyframe button was absolutely the trickiest, sneakiest, smallest, camouflaged, stubborn to show up and use feature ever. Any normal programmer would just simply give you a point and click interface so you could just click where you wanted to insert and then tap Command-K. Instead, they gave you this button (if it ever shows up, hours of testing have failed to produce it) which is about 4 pixels in size and not really clear what it's going to do or if it's done it.
@lKhaight7 ай бұрын
I followed this and it was a huge help, but I'm having problems with the arrow eventually disappearing. I noticed that when I use the arrows to tab forward five frames I start to loose it. How can I stop this forming happening? I go from a full size arrow at the beginning of the clip to at the end of a video clip just the tip of the arrow.
@macmost7 ай бұрын
You just have to be careful when you set the keyframes. Sounds like you have one past that point that is not where you want it.

For some reason when I go to export the circle image from keynote, I do not have the option to "Export with transparent backgrounds" as was demonstrated in the video. Anyone have an idea why not? Therefore, my circle image is not transparent. I have made sure that "no fill" is selected in the slide format. Help please!

The most likely reason, assuming you are not using an old version of Keynote or macOS, is that you have a slide that has the background set to something other than No Fill. It has to be those way for ALL slides.

Quick question: I followed the tutorial and the image I'm using as the Picture-In-Picture marker (arrow, same as the example) is moving or zooming in its PIP box as I scrub thru the video. Not sure what setting I need to change because the media itself is a just a static PNG with a transparent background that I dragged out the length of the main clip. This is iMove 10.3.5 running in Big Sur
@macmost10 күн бұрын
So the arrow changes size? Sounds like when you moved it at some point you also resized it maybe.
@The73ryan9 күн бұрын
@@macmost I'm not explaining it clearly. The first arrow I tried was a transparent background PNG I downloaded. It moved from the top of the PIP box to the bottom. The next one I made myself, it was larger than the PIP box when I added it to iMovie, and it got smaller over the length of the video clip. I hadn't resized the PIP box in either case. I'd probably have to record my screen to show this. Maybe there's just some weird glitch with iMovie or my Mac.

You have to click on the image you are overlaying, then on the video overlay settings (after you've changed to picture in picture) however, on my macbook pro, the control appears inside the actual video preview window in the top left corner. I think this is because i had a 4k widescreen video and your sample video wasn't widescreen, which gave the impression that the controls would be separate.

Somebody may have mentioned this error in this otherwise great tutorial... in Keynote you don't want to make the image square, you want it to be the same aspect ratio as iMovie 16:9. The reason is because otherwise it will automatically chop off your image to fit into that aspect ratio, sometimes resulting in a chopped image (like a circle has been chopped top and bottom so the image now looks like a pair of parentheses). Otherwise this tutorial helped me quite a bit. Thanks!
