Put a background there and have it appear on top of a background as well. You can see it's transparent so I can see the video behind it or if I wanted to do a background I could switch to a background here. So now in iMovie I'm going to go and drag and drop this as an overlay on top of the timeline. So you want to make you have all of that. If you don't have it set to this with the checkbox checked and the background set to No Fill then it won't be transparent. I want to change it to Apple ProRes 4444.

So a 1920 by 1080 is most likely what you want. I need to set it to something that's going to fit inside of movie. I want to choose Custom Resolution and this is very important. I'm going to go to File, Export to, Movie. I'll Save it out and now I can export it. It would be handy to have this as a template. I want to Save because I'm probably going to want to reuse this effect a lot. It's still going to be black but when I export now I can export as a transparent video. Now you're not going to see a change here because it's impossible to make this transparent. When I do that I can go down to the Format sidebar and I can change the Fill to No Fill. I want to be able to apply a background in iMovie and have this appear over some existing video. I could just have a black background and this is exactly what it's going to look like in iMovie. Now in order to export this I need to make the background transparent. So having a bit of a delay there is kind of useful. So now I can Preview it and it will be blank for a second and then type out.Įven if I don't think I want a delay at the beginning I can always trim it in iMovie later. I'm going to click on build order here and have it start after transitions. I want to keep the direction to be forward, of course. I can change some things like the duration. Go to Animate for Build In and Add an Effect. To get it to actually type out I need to add an animation. Now I can add the text that I want for the effect. Let's also increase the font by a lot and I'll make it something more kind of typey like a monospace font like that. Now it's going to be white on a white background so let's change the text color to black. I'm going to change the color fill to match the gray there. I'm going to put this here over the edge. So I'm going to click Shape here and I'm going to search for magnifying glass and drag this in. Now I'm going to add a little magnifying glass shape. I'm going to make that border a gray border and increase the size by quite a bit. Now I'm going to change the color fill to white and I'm going to add a border. Once I have the box here I'm going to use this green do to drag all the way over to the right to make the radius at the corner look like the ends are completely curved. It's okay to make it fill out this space here. I'm going to click Shape here and use the rounded rectangle and I'm going to stretch this out to fill most of the space. I want to actually do a search box effect so it looks like somebody is typing into a search box. Now I want to do more than just create text on the screen.

I'm going to zoom out so I can see the entire slide and get rid of the sample text there. So here in Keynote we're going to choose a wide theme and use the default black background there. Actually it doesn't take very long to do this. However, you can use Keynote to create such an animation and bring it into iMovie as an overlay. Which is a shame because it comes in really useful in a number of situations. So there is no title that you can apply in iMovie that will have text type across the screen.
