IMovie - Inspector options not enough for a bad camera angle

Question

I've created a clip path (yellow line) on several seconds of a really bad camera angle. There is a music track so deleting cannot be done.
When I go to the Inspector, the options just modify the color/clarity of the image which is not what I need. I need to break up several
seconds in the image with a Transition effect, such as a cube or mosaic.
Dragging a Transition into the clip path does not work.
There are three hours of video and the project is ready except for about five seconds which is visually unacceptable.
How can I put a Transition effect into several seconds which are surrounded by the yellow line?

Answer 1

I would not suggest a transition for what you are doing. A transition is likely to alter the audio track.
I would suggest instead that you use the Cutaway feature. You can drag another clip, or even a photo, onto the clip where you want to replace the video. When a popup menu appears, choose Cutaway.
See this Tutorial for more on Cutaway.
