That's much tougher. You will need to create the titles in Photoshop or something like it, not Keynote. Then export them with 32-bit alpha channels. Then use picture-in-picture. See episode 423. But it is a difficult task unless you have some graphics experience. I’m guessing you mean you want it semi-transparent? That’s much tougher.

What I was looking for was having the title text overtop the moving video on the same clip. So if I have a video clip playing the title is superimposed over that so both play at the same time. I now understand from your tutorial how to create a separate title video and import that into iMovie, but I am looking for a way to layer this title over an existing video clip.

For instance, if you are doing 720p in iMovie (1280x720) then produce a Keynote presentation of the same size. In the Inspector, under Document settings, you can choose any size. Or, you can choose from a selection of sizes (including 720) when starting a new document. You can also change the size of your Keynote presentation to match the size of the movie.

Your videos have helped me tremendously as I try to learn Keynote, iMovie and make a slideshow video. Thanks immensely! Here's my question, though. I have some photo clips I dropped into iMovie, added effects, audio, and more. Now I want to add Keynote slides between for titles and other data. I'm having trouble getting the KN slides to fit. Is this adjusted in KN or iMovie? I've tried playing with the KN export size. The KN slides are too tall and are cut off. Gary!

Keep trying different settings, you'll get it. Try recording your audio narration over it -- even if you don't say anything, to work on specific timing.

When I export to to Quicktime the timing of the transitions get messed up. I have 2 slides, 1 with several elements that build and then a second slide that is a single image. The biggest issue is the large dead space between the first slide and the second slide? I'm guessing that changing the "fixed timing" settings is what needs to change but that doesn't seem to help? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hey Gary – I have an intro put together and it looks like I want it in Keynote. When I export to to Quicktime the timing of the transitions get messed up.

Some of the video slides would not play or they would play only for a second and then it would transition to the next slide with out playing the whole video? you have given me a new insight into how to skin this Big elephant! thanks!
