iMovie Tips for After You’ve Filmed:

  • Import your video:

    • First, add the background photo or video.
       

    • Second, add the green screen
      video as an overlay to the
      background.


       

    • Third, select the green screen video and
      switch the setting to “Green/Blue Screen.”


       

  • Edit the clip:

    • Crop- If the camera filmed any areas outside of the green screen, crop them out of the video.
       

    • Customize the Style- Choose
      “Ken Burns” style if you want
      either you or the background
      to move in the video. Position
      the “Start” and “End” boxes to
      achieve the desired effect.
