Just watched iMovie course. I liked the effect where Gary took a video with a green background and then changed the background. If I take a photo with a green back ground can I use that in iMovie to do the same thing?

My iMac uses Quick Time as the default for playing downloaded videos, but it can’t play .avi files, for example, whereas Iplayer can play them. But I can’t see how to change the default in Settings or anywhere else.
