imovie - put photo in green screen frame in a video?

Hey, i was trying to put a photo in a green screen frame in a video . So its not a green screen backround, but a frame with a green screen that is moving a bit. When i use the green-/bluescreen function to insert it, is fixed full screen on the backround, so that you can only see a small part of the picture in the green screen frame .... Is there a possibility to adjust / resize the photo and also adjust it dynamically thru the timeline ? Like fitting it first in the frame and then letting it stay in the frame, even if its moving a bit ?

Any hint is appreciated, thanks in advance !

Hi, joc112,

So we are sure that we are properly envisioning what you are describing, could you post a screen shot?

I don't know of any way, with the green screen feature, of resizing the underlying photo to fit and follow a moving green screen in a video green screen background. Instead of using green screen you might try using the Picture in Picture feature to overlay the photo onto the moving green portion of the video. With Picture in Picture you can resize the photo to fit the green frame and also use the Keyframe feature to animate the photo so that it follows the green.

Here's a link that explains how to use the Picture in Picture feature:
