this 'effect' is basically two... :

• 'micro-edits' - 1 frame from clip#1, 1 frame from clip#2, repeat a few times.. done. A bit 'fiddly' in iMovie, but possible.


• 'artificial depth of field' - have a look:

first the cam is focussed on the girl with the long hair in the background; then, while recording, focus shifts to girl in foreground; then, in the micro-edits, they jump btw., the two focus-levels (plus shift the framing, but that is another story…)


to accomplish that in the same shot (which it is obviously in your demo), you'd need a tilt-shift-effect, or a software which allows to apply 'masks' to moving images to apply blurr to each layer.


=> no way to accomplish that in iMovie.


as Jim already stated: Motion5, or FCPX. And this is no 'push button/done' effect, needs lots of manual adjustments.
