How to add Face distortion on iMovie like Photo Booth effect ?

How to add Face distortion on iMovie like Photo Booth effect ? I see previous iMovie version allowed such effect. Now the only videos effects available I see are just simple colouring modification rather than distortion.


Thanks for your help,

You are right. There is no distortion effect in iMovie 10. You would need to make the movie in Photo Booth, employing the distortion effect, then drag the movie to your desktop from the display bar at the bottom of the Photo Booth screen. From your desktop you can import it into iMovie.

There is an app called Hyperspektive (you can Google it) that has a lot of cool effects. I don't know whether face distortion is one of them. It is an iOS app so would need to be edited on your iPad or iPhone and then imported into iMovie. Take a look at the following thread where the poster there appears to be able to edit an existing clip to add the mirror effect with Hyperspektive.

Also, if you type in "Speckal Effects" in the app store search box you will see several special effects apps, one of which might be suitable to your needs.
