Can I Blur Or Highlight In iMovie HD 6.0.3?

Is it possible to blur an object in iMovie HD 6.0.3? I have a clip I want to use in a movie I'm putting together but there is someone in the background who doesn't want her face shown in a movie. Is it possible to blur over just her face?
Also, is it possible to layer an image over a clip? I took some video of someone but in the background I noticed something that I want to point out to the people who watch the movie. I'd like to layer something like an arrow pointing to the object in the background or I would even like to do something like darken the clip but leave the area I want to be noticed in its full brightness.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

Hi isign31 - have a look at the Stupendous Software plugins - I'm sure they have various arrow options:

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks

  • I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

    I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

    There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

  • In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    In Pages when I go to FIND how can I change the highlight colour of the found word?  At the moment it is a very pale grey and not easily seen.

    Well, it might depend on the nationality of your keyboard, but on my US keyboard, the tilde ("squiggle") is above the TAB key; on a Mac, ⌘-TAB cycles through the active applications and ⌘-tilde cycles through the windows in the front application.
    When you do a Find, Pages selects an instance of your search text (the next one after the current selection, I think, but I didn't check that). It doesn't make the document window the front window, though. If you click in the window to bring it to the front, it moves the selection (or insertion point) to wherever you click unless you click on or above the ruler. Try clicking at the top of the document window after you do a find; say somewhere near the document name. Now you should see the highlighted selection (your search text). If you click back on the Find window, the selection will go grey again, unless you hold ⌘ down while clicking.

  • How can I change the highlight color of grid view folders in the dock?

    Using OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the highlight color for a folder in Grid view is barely noticeable.
    Can you spot the highlighted icon below?
    I've grown accustom to clicking the applications folder in the doc then typing a few letters to get me close to the app I want- now it takes an extra few seconds for me to visually find the icon that got highlighted.
    Is there a way to change the highlight color here?

    I would open up the grid spacing slightly so everything does not run together. In System Preferences > General, try setting Highlight color: Red. This won't change the grey selection background around the icon, but it will turn the background behind the icon text to red. That stands out. However, the collateral effect is that text you select in this editor, and other OS X applications, will now have a red background too. Changing colors will require a killall Finder in the Terminal. Actually set mine to #ffff00 which is a vivid yellow, which is more practical when selecting text in a document.

    I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing).  I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work.  When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    Try deleting the app and then reinstalling it. If that fails  Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    I have been backing up iMovie 08 files to my external drive, but for some reason I can't open these files in iMovie.  I used drag and drop to copy them.

    You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system.  These can automatically back up only what's changed since the  previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
    Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
    You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX.  You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    #27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

  • Can a pdf be imported to iMovie?

    can a pdf be imported to iMovie?

    Thank you!
    Info:  The screen capture in Preview (File/Take Screensho->From Selection) is much lower resolution than when you "Save As...JPEG".  You have to save every page as a separate JPEG.  If your iMovie is set to apply the Ken Burns Effect to incoming pictures, you'll have to edit the effect to see the whole page. 

  • Can't view photo library in iMovie media pane

    My photo library is on an external hard drive. I can open iPhoto and it works. I can't access the pictures through iMovie. I had the same problem with music until I put it back on the computers hard drive. I am very experienced with iMovie/iDVD/iPhoto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    iMac G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to discussions!
    Is your hard drive formatted correctly? To find out connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities. Your external drive while show up in Disk Utility's side bar.
    if it isn't Mac OS Extended-Journaled then click the 'Erase tab' at the top.
    Select Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting from the Volume Format menu.
    Then click the oval Erase button at the lower right. That's all you need to do, except you will probably want to back up first as this will erase your drive.
    If that isn't the problem, try deleting all of your Keywords from the iPhoto library.

  • Form that is a map of Ohio. I created layers for each county so I can click and it highlights, but I need to be able to click more than one. How do I do that?

    Form that is a map of Ohio. I created layers for each county so I can click and it highlights, but I need to be able to click more than one. How do I do that?

    Looks nice!
    I understand what you've done now. You used the "Set Layer Visibility" command which sets the on/off state of all the layers at once. What you need is a more subtle approach, one that will only change the state of the specific layer associated with the button, not the rest of them (so that you could have multiple layers enabled at the same time). The way to do that is by using a script.
    I wrote the script for you and applied it to the top-left counties (WILLIAMS and FULTON), in the attached file. You can now copy the actions I associated with those buttons to the rest of them, and it should work as you want it to.
