Bullet Points in iMovie 09 Titles?

I have quite a lot of information to teach in a presentation I'm doing. Is it possible to format my titles with Bullet Points?

Thanks

Keynote is the app that is best at creating bulleted lists.



If you have Keynote, you can create a file that can be used in iMovie.


Here is a sample of doing it with a Green Screen effect.


I created the bullets in Keynote. I created a green background on a gradient between two similar shades of green (green screen works better if the green is not too perfect).

Then I exported as a timed QuickTime movie.


I imported into iMovie and used this as a green screen clip over video.


Here are the results. I didn't spend much time on this, but if I were using it in a real movie, I owuld use a larger font and choose a color that stood out against my background.





Here is a sample of doing it using a Picture in Picture effect.

I did the drop down animation of the bullets in Keynote. Then export as a quicktime file, which can be used in iMovie. Then put your video in a Picture in Picture video as the bullets were on the screen.

If your presentation is mostly textual information, but you need a video clip here and there, I would do it in Keynote. You can drag movies into Keynote.


However, if your presentation is mostly video clips, but you need a few bulleted lists, then I would do it in iMovie with bullets from Keynote.


Hope that makes sense. Keynote is like Powerpoint (but better and easier to use).
