I have a problem finding a transition in iMovie.

I seem to remember having a transition in iMovie and I cannot remember the name of it (getting old). Basically, it looked like a split-screen transition, going from one clip to the next. I have looked at the list of transitions on the preview pane and it is not there. Perhaps it is an effect, I am not sure.

Can someone help me please? 😉

Mac mini (Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi


it looked like a split-screen transition, going from one clip to the next.


You must describe much more.


Does it look like a window-sweeper (car)


or like a clock pointer rotating


or as next clip slides in from one of the sides


or as a new clip starts as a small rectangle growing into full size


or. or. or ?


Can it be from iMovie 1 to HD6 ?


If so - they took Plug-ins - so it can be from a third-part deliverer.


iMovie'08 to 11 - CAN NOT TAKE ANY PLUG-INS AT ALL - our BIG Complaint

I think I may have found my answer, on a different website....


iMovie 09 introduced a Picture in Picture edit that lets you play two clips at once, with one appearing in a small box in the corner of the screen. iMovie'11 takes that same idea and adds a side-by-side that splits the screen vertically. Drag a clip onto top of another clip and then select Side by Side from the action menu that appears. In the clip inspector, you can choose whether the added clip appears on the left or the right side of the screen and whether the clip slides into frame from the side.
