Q: iMovie Picture Placement
My mother is turning 90 and I'm making a movie for her. Is it possible for me to have the movie start with one candle and quickly fill up with 89 more on different parts of the screen so that when it's finished there are 90 candles in the frame?
I'm using iMovie 10.0.4 and OS 10.9.4.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry about that, I can see why you were confused by that part.
What I was trying to say is to film yourself placing the first few candles being placed in a video format. Then, for each candle after that, take an individual picture after you add each candle. If you flash through these shots quickly, your audience will understand that someone's placing the candles, but without the arm flashing around the screen.
I may have just made that even more complicated, I'm sorry if so!
To move through the individual pictures quickly, try placing each shot on a Keynote slide, setting the auto-transition time to 0.1 seconds, and taking a screen recording of it all.
