moving graphic in imovie

I'm looking to put "moving graphics" in iMovie. See link below from 1:01:40 to 1:01:50. You'll see graphics/numbers that seem to move with the land as it disappears into the foreground. Not sure if anyone is familiar with doing this in iMovie?

I wasn't able to find the specific graphics that you referred to. When I clicked on your link I got a display of several videos pertaining to the Master's golf tournament. I clicked on three of them but couldn't find what you referenced.


In general, you can use the Picture in Picture feature to overlay text or a graphic onto a video and then use the keyframe feature to animate it. This help link explains how to use Picture in Picture and the keyframe animation feature:

So, you want to hold the graphic back as the video moves forward, leaving the graphic behind. Correct?


If so, you can do that with the keyframe animation feature. You insert your graphic PiP. A little keyframe insertion box will appear in the upper left of the preview screen.




With your movie stopped, click on the center diamond to set your first keyframe point. Then use the arrows in the lower right hand corner of your keyboard to advance the movie a few frames. Move your graphic downward a little. Then stop and click on the right arrow in the control box to set the next keyframe point. Repeat the process as you move your video forward a little at a time.
