Unlock Advanced Video Editing with Keynote + iMovie + Green Screen!

[@OchoVerde]

Great video again. I knew how to do this...but learned about 8 tips to make the process better!

[@JamesKerLindsay]

Thanks. Another great video. I have actually used both techniques. I think you’re right. The Alpha Channel is perhaps a little better than green screen. But this is a great back up option. However, I still found the graphics weren’t quite as sharp as I’d like using both techniques. Hopefully the tip about setting the resolution might help.

[@globalnewsnetwork8193]

You're brilliant. When I upgraded to Catalina and noticed that the Apple Pro Res 4444 wasn't rendering any transparent backgrounds anymore I was so enraged. After a week with Apple Support on the phone I had to go back to Mojave via TimeMachine. Happy to see there was another solution to this.

[@clarencej]

Thank you for this. I did not know that was keying was possible in iMovie. Your tutuorials are making it easier for me to ease into video production. Keep up the good work ... clearly communicated as always.

[@Primiterismm]

After Apple updated Mac OS update Alpha channel doesn't work anymore. This video is a life saver. Thanks man.

[@MacVideoMagic]

No worries. Glad I could help. I'm sure Alpha Channel export will return in macOS 10.15.2.

[@michaellwalker8748]

Excellent as always.

[@piedmontsalesacademy]

Love this video, just now getting into learning more in-depth concepts like animations in iMovie and working Keynote with that. Great explanations and demonstrations throughout your video. Definitely subscribing!

[@wb_finewoodworking]

I’ve had problems with the green/blue screen technique when I was wearing blue. It keyed on the blue as well as the green background. Your other method works much better. Now, if only Apple will fix the problem with Catalina I’ll be able to update my MacOS.

[@Bankier_z_tiktoka]

In some of your last video you showed easyier way to put keynote animation to imovie, by using cuted off background in animation and saved the file as a movie. Since I saw your video I am using your solitions in my projects. It works. Thank you

[@zacgrubble9824]

Hey Michael your videos are not good....they’re outstanding! You take the time to show step by step and at a pace that’s east to listen to and understand each step. Thanks so much!!

[@TheJuleBoxStudios]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@_.mv._.05._]

Hi Michael! Can you do a review on imovie and keynote version for iPhone please. Thanks for your very informative guides😎

[@kimsoontan2869]

Very clear and precise explanation.

[@topgame881]

Thanks. Now I know the green screen trick, actually you answered multi questions I’ve had. Thanks

[@HerveDaCosta]

Greatly useful as usual. I keep you video as references to go back to when necessary

[@SalopianBivvyman]

You are the man! Love your tutorials in I movie. 👍👍👍👍

[@everettspain2739]

Love your “how-Togo’s”. They’ve helped me completely transform how I’m presenting my business on all social media platforms. Question though...I own a healthy seasoning business so I video myself cooking, creating recipes and just conversating with my followers. Most of my shoots are in my kitchen but I want to create a “make-shift” or a virtual “kitchen background” to use as my backdrop in iMovie. Can this be done directly in iMovie or a collaboration with Keynote?

[@furkidsboutique9563]

thank you I was losing my mind!!!!! this was so helpful

[@ianpve]

Another excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@guanacoyyz9646]

Very nice tutorial. So clean and easy to absorb. I was about to buy Final Cut Pro but see that IMovie has lots more so I’ll keep playing with it and upgrade later.

[@shl389]

Great tutorial thank you! Wondering in Keynote can’t we just put the background as “no fill” so the animation has transparent background? This way you don’t have to adjust and remove the green background in iMovie, also the green edges can be avoided.

[@NoraDunn]

I hadn’t thought of doing animations in Keynote; I have used Canva. Do you have thoughts on which one is better?

[@juliajelkes1230]

Very helpful. Thank you 😊

[@utkarshdandekar8305]

Man u r really helpful

[@somberivlogs5456]

Excellent! You just made my day.. Cheers..

[@xqp5503]

Thank you🙌🏼

[@BestMassageTech]

Any Catalina work around for graphics that include green?

[@MiddletonOhana]

Very helpful! Thank you!👏🏻

Thanks a lot for sharing

[@theregalword]

I spent the day watching many of your informative videos with the intent of improving my channel. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and wherewithal with others. Keep doing what you are doing. God continue to bless you. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Peace

[@TedMattos]

Wonderful tutorial, Michael - thank you! I wonder if something like this could be used on other editors (like ScreenFlow)?

[@MacVideoMagic]

Should be possible.

[@TedMattos]

@@MacVideoMagic Thanks for answering!

[@Gregoire-m9j]

Thanks a lot

[@p11111]

As always, great tutorial! (ps your thumbnail says "iMove", but fortunately that's a quick fix!)

[@MacVideoMagic]

Thanks for the catch!

[@valentinomarshal9496]

Hello Mike, great video as usual I am struggling with one task and that is, to play a green screen video of a waterfall in my keynote presentation itself, means i want to overlap this video on a slide by making the green screen invisible, on an image we can use instant alpha tool to mask unwanted areas, is it possible to do on a video as well in keynote itself, i do not want to export the whole thing into iMovie just because of this one slide, please suggest or advise if there is a solution, thanks

[@cerulyse]

I think this should work in clipchat too

[@TheSaf7uk]

Great lessons

[@KurtPapke]

The other reason the use Prores 4444 is you can use it for picture in picture. Green screen and PiP are mutually exclusive.

[@MacVideoMagic]

Great point!

[@JulesMadisonArtByDesign]

That is a very good point!

[@andrespasher194]

Can you please make a video on how to record the screen and the internal audio on mcos Catalina!

[@jamietaylor8663]

Andrés Pasher I can tell you quick, hit command shift 5, select the area you want to record, click the pop up menu and chose tour audio source. Then click record! You may need to download soundflower to great a multi output device so you can record your Macs sound output and any audio input

[@nathalia_hfitness1681]

Thank you!!!

[@TheMaleRoleModel]

could you just do this and remove the background or will that not work

[@GEOsustainable]

cool

[@JulesMadisonArtByDesign]

There is a much easier way to do this. But this was interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@KurtPapke]

Jules Madison ArtPreneur what would the easier method be?

[@MacVideoMagic]

An easier way other than exporting it with an alpha channel (Pro Res 4444)?

[@JulesMadisonArtByDesign]

@@MacVideoMagic In iMovie I create animations and just use the green/blue screen option. Your channel is so helpful - I have learnt a lot from it.

[@harshilagarwal7891]

Can't you just change the background to no fill and that way you can use picture in picture in iMovie without a green background?

[@MrTjareson]

Right, that's the way I do it as well. Much easier somehow. I think he was even showing that in some of tutorial videos himself. Not sure, why the greenscreen approach for lower thirds. Plus I would imagine it creates more workload during rendering.

[@quranurdu92]

Make full course

[@MacVideoMagic]

Great idea!

[@Raj_Das]

or we could set the background on "no fill" on keynote

[@globalnewsnetwork8193]

How do I find out what the resolution of my iMovie is?

[@MacVideoMagic]

You can find the resolution of your iMovie project under Settings, the button way over on the right of the timeline.

[@globalnewsnetwork8193]

@@MacVideoMagic It says 1080p 60. So what do I type in in the rendering option where you typed in 1920 x 1080 ?

[@MacVideoMagic]

@@globalnewsnetwork8193 1920 x 1080 is 1080p

Hi sir

[@i124qx]

another easier way - insert vid in keynote - insert animated text - export vid
