I have used Adobe Premier Pro CS5 and it was very easy to draw lines on top of video, and to add text. Is this even possible to do within iMovie? I have seen that there are some outside apps to do this, but that kind of takes away the simplicity of the whole thing.
I like how simple iMovie is compared to CS5, but need to be able to draw on the videos.
Thanks!!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7)
All info I have found says that there are no plugins for iMovie. Can anybody verify this?
If that is the case then I have to do as much as I can in iMovie, and then finish it off in CS5. I guess this should be possible, but not as simple as I would like.
Hi
There are no possibility to add any Plug-ins to iMovie'08 to 11 - AT ALL
There are no easy to use draw tools in iMovie (any version)

Karsten Schlüter has posted on his blog a workaround for this. I would not call it simple, and it is definitely not as easy as built in. Basically you would create a still frame of the portion of the movie where you want to add the line. Then, in a photo editor like Photoshop, Pixelmator, or Acorn, you will add your lines or graphics to a different layer. You save this layer only as a png file. Then drag into iMovie as a cutaway.

That is the link. I cannot make it clickable from my iPad.
Thanks, that is what I suspected.
I decided to try Final Cut Pro for 30 days to see how I like it.
I've seen the blog and as you say nowhere near simple.
The link for your ipad worked.
Trying FCP for a month.
How can I draw lines on top of video inside of iMovie'11?
