New/Custom Transitions

Trying to make a slideshow for my girlfriends sister graduation party and her theme is Butterflies. Is there like butterfly shape transitions and if not, how can I make one? Thanks

iMovie '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

A HawaiiWarrior needs a butterfly(-transition) for his girl-friend <sigh> my phantasy runs wild 😉


ok, .... in short: you can't.


long: prob here is a) actual iM11 doesn't offer an API to apply 3rd party/custom built effects, b) you/me can not dupe it, have a look:

I used here Motion5, created with a few clicks a particle stream with butterflies (all ready-mades in M5), and exported it as a 'transparent movie'.


overlaid in iMovie, butterflies fly, nice, BUT you can not use it to 'hide' a dissolve under it! iM is simple not capable of stacking videos. you can 'paste it over' a clean cut, but nor really 'full screen', I'm (ab)using here iMovies pic-in-pic effect to create a 'track'.-

14$ iMovie is no full-flavored editor 😉


fingers-crossed for vers13 .... coming next year 😁
