iMovie: "Doubling" video tracks

I would like to "double" two video tracks on top of each other. Can this be done?

An example is here: https://youtu.be/_XAttAP5Ucs

The effect to which I am referring happens at the 40 second mark, when the singers face appears in addition to the original video.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Hi mfasr,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Based on the information you've provided it sounds like you want to layer the videos so they appear simultaneously, similar to a double-exposure in photography.


iMovie does not have an editing setting which would achieve this. You can see the different video effects, and effects which can be done with multiple clips in the iMovie Help guide here: Add video effects - iMovie Help.


You may find what you're looking for in creating a composite with Final Cut Pro. You can read more about it here: Intro to compositing in Final Cut Pro - Apple Support.


All the best.
