Had to go back and watch several times as I attempted it, but it finally worked! As a 75-year-old beginning KZfaqr with no grandkids to help me shoot or edit, I’m gradually getting past the hard learning curve of a newbie. . .With the help of your excellent teaching.

So you want to share your screen, plus show your camera at the bottom? That depends on what you are using to share. Your best bet is if the software you are using has that as an option. Otherwise, you'll need to do a lot of work with OBS or something like that to set it up.

"Better" is subjective. You certainly have more options with Keynote. But if iMovie does what you want, then it is quicker to do it in iMovie. Both are tools in your toolbox.

When I export in Keynote the box is checked to make it transparent, so it seems I've done all prior steps correctly, but when I import into imovie it's not transparent. Any idea why?

@macmost Жыл бұрын

First, check the file before you open it in iMovie. Is it transparent in Quick Look, for instance? Then in iMovie, are you using it as a cutaway. If you put it in the main timeline it won't have anything "behind" it to show through.

Hi, Gary. Having set my slides background to No Fill in Keynote for iOS, when exporting I do not get the “Export with transparent background” option. When adding it to the movie and test playing it, I can only see the text on a black background. Also, I don’t get anything like the number of export options that you get on the Mac. Saving brings up a share dialogue. Am I doing something wrong or can’t this titling be done in iOS?

No, you can't export using ProRes with transparency on an iPhone.

@philippfolkerts6120 3 жыл бұрын

You might want to try uploading it to KZfaq as a private video and select the option to automatically generate subtitles for you. Once KZfaq does its magic, you can check out the results and hopefully save you a lot of time manually typing & translating your content. Of course, the quality of the translation will certainly be better if you do it manually, but depending on the amount of footage you have, you might benefit from the "free machine translation".
