How do i add video over black background in iMovie '11

Hello,
I'm looking to add a playing video over a black background in order to make credits/blooper reel, kind of like how this video on Youtube did it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM3n1T60csc. Does iMovie 11 have this capability? If so, how can I do it?
Thank You! Any help is much appreciated.

The video over black is easy enough. Just add a black bacground and use Picture-In-Picture to add your video.

How do I add video to my iphone with icloud

How do I add videos (personal; not music or ripped) to my iphone when using iCloud? These used to sync over when I used itunes but with the transition to icloud, when I plug in to my computer (a PC), itunes wants to restore the phone or set it up again.

That is with the Emoji keyboard.
Add it with Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard > Emoji
Once added, you will get a Globe icon to the left of the Spacebar when typing. Tap that to switch between keyboards.
While using the Emoji keyboard you have categories of Emoji on the bottom you can select from and pages within each category you can swipe between, indicated by the dots above them.
The Clock category is recently used emoji.

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

How do I add video files to my itunes library?

Ok, this is basic but how do I add videos to my library? The files is supported by itunes but whenever i try to add to my library it's not there!
Help. Thanx

First, double-click on the Movies item in the Library. You will see a new window appear. Next, make sure you know the location of the movie file. Then, go to File > Add File to Library... and browse for the movie file (if you don't see it, it isn't compatible with iTunes; you have to convert it; see here for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1347). Then, with it selected, press Enter or Return. Tada-- there it is!

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

Hello andrewmarkp,
As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.

How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie.

First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.

The iMovie help lists the types of movie files you can import.
I usually have to use Quick Time Pro (not free) to convert what I have to a format iMovie will accept.
Or I use VLC video player (free).

How do you add video effects-slow motion

Not real happy with 08 over previous versions but I would like to gain back some of the functionality that I regularly used. How do I add special effects, such as slow motion to a video clip or a portion of a video clip.

How do you do it IMovie HD in Ilife 08?
Both applications can be run on the same computer. Use whichever application best serves your needs. If you need a lot of plug-in effects, use HD. If few or nor effects other than standard transitions and titles are required and speed is paramount, then use iMovie '08. If you like being innovative and want to try your hand at creating your own effects, use iMovie '08 and learn how perform pre- and post-edits to create your own fast motion, slow motion, stop motion, pseudo time lapse, still framed, backgrounded, blended, layered, picture-in-picture, etc. that may "tickle your fancy."

Captivate and Alpha channel video insertion black background

I have been trying in vain to insert a green screen video into a Captivate presentation. I used Serif MovieMaker5 to export the video as a ".mov" with the chroma key as a transparency. It works great if I want to overlay the .mov format file over another video in other SW platforms, but when I run it through the "Adobe Media Encoder" (AME), the background ends up black. Importing it into Captivate just ends up with a black box containing the subject of the video on top of the slide.
I think I've tried every setting in the AME with no luck.
I've seen this problem elswhere on Adobe forums, but I haven't seen a solution. Why the black background after encoding with the AME, and is there a setting I have missed? Do I need to start from a different format...say .AVI, but the output doesn't give me an option for a transparent or alpha output. The problem seens to be with the AME, but I don't know for sure.
Any ideas? I'm using Captivate 5 and the Serif, MovieMaker 5 editing SW. The output seems to work everywhere in the ".mov" format, but not when converted to .f4v by the AME

I actually solved the problem by trying to use the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) on CS3. CS3 only codes in ".flv." It worked fine! I also noticed in CS3 that there was a check box for including an "alpha channel." I could not find one in AME CS5, but there was an "exclude Alpha" box. So I looked, and I see that the AME CS5 was exporting the file as ".f4V." For some reason, my installation defaults to .f4v, and it never occured to me to change to a ".FLV" output. When I did, a box to "include Alpha" appeared, and the video works just fine.
One of the issues was that the format was listed as "FLV/F4V" on the "Source" screen. I just assumed that, since FLV was first, that would be the default output. I never looked at the suffix of the converted file. Shame on me! I was also surprised that the default was F4V, since FLV is more common, and F4V is supposed to be an improved version.
CP GURU Wrote: I don't know "Serif MoveMaker", but isn't it possible to export to FLV / F4V directly instead of .mov? I normally use Adobe Premier or Adobe After Effects and here I can export an FLV/F4V with an alpha channel that works well in Captivate.
Unfortunately, the Serif MovieMaker SW does not output to "Flash." It's one of the better of the "inexpensive" video editing SW offerings. Since I am only making short training courses, quality isn't a big concern. The big thing is that it be easy, and have chroma key capabilities. It is, and does, and I'm happy with it. I would love to have "Adobe After Effects" (AAE), but the cost can't be justified. I am seriously thinking about a cloud subscription, but the eLearning suite is not included, and I'd rather spend my limited budget on upgrading to eLearning CS6.
Thanks for everyones help!!!!!!!!!!

How do I add video to play before the actual menu?

I want a warning to pop up before the actual menu and can't figure it out. I just installed DVD Studio Pro today after using iDVD for over a year. Please help me out with some detail! Thank you so much! Also, and this sounds terribly stupid, but how do you add audio to the menu?? Sorry! But thanks!

Hi Alex
Create another menu and put your warning there. Set your "at end" to time out and set your action to the Main Menu. Drag your video and audio assets from the assets to the menu viewer. It helps to read the manual first then ask questions
Good luck...let us know how it goes.

With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device). Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos. However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option. Any ideas on how to do this?

iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Streams
To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.
