I am trying to edit the opacity of a video while editing. I see the option to change the opacity when the video is a "cutaway" but when I change the video to picture in picture I no longer see the opacity option. I have searched online and found nothing... Any thoughts??
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6
In iMovie, one can only do an opacity with the Cutaway feature.
However, you can place the two clips into a Keynote app project and make the opacity overlay there. Then export the opacity overlayed clip to your desktop as a movie and drag it into your project.
The Keynote app should already be on your Mac in the applications folder. If it is not, I believe that you can download it for free from the online app store.
Also, there may be other video editor apps out there that can make a picture in picture opacity.
