So I'm going to position the cursor somewhere near the beginning of the clip here. It only works if you've got a Picture in Picture overlay. It's a really powerful feature in iMovie that a lot of people don't know is there. This is what we're going to use to animate.

These two arrows with this little Plus button inside of a diamond. Now all I have to do is have it transition in so it slides in from the right. So say this is where I want it to be when it fully appears. I want to position it where I want and stretch it by pulling the corners to be the size I want. Then I'm going to go back over here to the Overlay settings so I've got this piece of text. It might be set to Ken Burns by default but I want to change it to Fit so in other words turn off all the Cropping settings. Then I want to click here in the Cropping settings. Now I want to change the transition to zero seconds so it doesn't actually dissolve or zoom or anything over any period of time. With that selected I'll change to Picture in Picture. First I want to click on the video overlay settings here. So now I'm going to change a few things about this. You can already see that this just appears over the background. Now I can position it where I want and I can stretch the beginning and end. I'm actually going to stick it on top of it so it's an overlay. I'm not going to put it into the main timeline like this. So I'm going to move over the window here a bit and I'm going to drag and drop this PNG onto of the video. Instead of using titles I'm going to simply bring these images in as overlays. In iMovie I've got a project going already. You can see that they're transparent because there's no black background there. If I Hide Keynote here I can see there is the folder and here I've got two PNG's. It's going to export each one of these slides as a different image.

Then I'll go Next and I'll Save this out to the desktop and call it Movie Text and export it. I want to make sure that the checkbox for Transparent Background is selected. Jpeg format will not give me transparency. Now I'm going to go to File, Export To, and I'm going to export as images. I can have fifty different pieces of text here. So I'm going to Control click here and duplicate this slide here and I'm going to put some other text here as an example. So now that I've made the background invisible one of the cool things I can do is if I have multiple pieces of text I want to include in the video I can do them all in one Keynote document. If you don't do this you're just going to get a big black rectangle with some text in it. I need to click on the background, just outside of any element, and under Format I need to change the background for the slide layout for the document itself to No Fill. So after I've got it looking like I want I need to do a very important step here. Do all sorts of things you normally couldn't do with text. I can change its color and I can even add outlines. Now I can set it to be any kind of font that I want. Even if I don't want the text to actually be this big in the video I want it to take up as much of this screen as possible. As a matter of fact I'm not going to be afraid to fill the space with it. I'm going to get rid of this sample text here and add my own text to it. I'm going to start with just the standard black template here. Now we want to choose a wide theme because that's going to be 16 x 9, the same ratio as most video.

Then I'll show you how to bring it into iMovie and animate it.

I'm going to show you how to do it in Keynote but you can use PhotoShop, Acorn, Pixelmator, Infinity, anything you want to create the transparent text background. You can use any image editing app you want to create text and put it as an overlay in iMovie. Sometimes this is called pop-up text where it just moves in from off of the frame and moves back out again. Sometimes you want specific text in a specific location and you want to animate onto the screen. So the titles that are available on iMovie are quick and easy to use but they don't always get you the effect you want. Go to /patreon where you can read more, join us, and get exclusive content.
