- Interested in creating a circular, picture-in-picture face cam shot for your videos, but aren’t keen on having to use complicated and expensive editing software?
You can actually create this effect using iMovie and Apple Keynote! Two free applications that come bundled with a Mac.

I wish I discovered you a long time ago. You're a Godsend. Thank you.
Excellent video. Please keep them coming.
Amazing trick. Love from Chennai, India
You are thorough without being boring. I love your delivery. Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't appear to be smart enough to follow you directions. When I lay my circle mask made in Keynote on top of the video, it doesn't work. It is as if there is not mask. Maybe I turned the entire frame invisible in Keynote?
Wow, thank you!
It can be a finicky procedure. Was your mask working in Keynote? Make sure you changed your slide background to "No Fill".
I went back for the third time and followed all the direction as carefully as possible and it worked. Thanks again. Sending a Super Thanks.@@MacVideoMagic
Amazing keynote hack! You are definitely the best tutorial instructor on the internet! These imovie videos have helped me tremendously with projects!!! Keep them coming!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
Michael, another fantastic hack using Keynote and iMovie. It would be impossible for me to count how many of your ideas I’ve used on my videos including using Keynote with iMovie you posted several years ago. I’m sure that this one will come in handy in the near future. As I finish up editing my latest one today I’m going to see if I can use this somewhere to add to the variety in the video so that I’m not just a talking head sitting at my desk. Thank you for all your videos and please keep them coming.
Your iMovie tutorial is the best I've seen! You are very easy to understand and follow. And, the speed in which you make selections is easy to follow. Other tutorials I've watched required me to keep hitting the repeat button because the presenter was moving the pointer around too fast, and also speaking too fast. Awesome job!!!! I will now definitely check out your other videos!! Thank you, Michael!
genius! amazing! instead of using iMovies background I just exported another rectangle from Keynote to keep the green screen consistent. what an awesome workaround using free software!
Excellent tutorial. Perfect cadence and clear to follow. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your tutorials for Mac/Apple! They are so appreciated!
Your videos are great!!! Easy to follow and great content. Thanks for making them !
Just found your channel. Excellent! I use imovie and your videos are a huge help. As others have said, perfect delivery of the information. Thank you.
Another awesome guide, can't wait to implement this. You da bomb Michael - Thanks again. Had a quick look, but do you (sure you will) have a guide in how to clip/cut/edit 3 clips (2 movie and a sound file) in one?
Main video, pic in pic plus audio from another source. I want to merge them (tie together) so any edit like speed up, and clips/crops made are to all 3 in one go.
hey 😀it looks like it's as easy as clicking the 3 of them with command and then command B to clip.
Great walkthrough - thanks - will be trying this one
Very beautiful trick ,thank you very much for sharing
I made this much simpler using Pixelmator Pro. Thanks for the inspiration.
This guy is a video creation and editing hacker. Operates at a different level.....
What is your day job If I may ask?
And the explanation....FTW. I have taught math for years and I can tell when I see an exceptional teacher.
Impressive. Keep it up.
Great video, Michael!!!
Lovin' these videos that show the power of the bundled software that comes with a new Mac. Keynote is a powerful application that has so many uses for graphics. There's a bug in the latest version though that on some Intel Macs that prevents videos embedded in slides for movie export being outputted properly. Soooo frustrating. Anyway, love these tutorials - superb.
Hopefully they fix that in the next update.
Wow! What a cool feature and I love the way you have presented it. Your videos are helping me to look at the way I edit my videos and add some interest and variety. Definitely already thinking of using this one in the future. TFS!
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful. Great video as always.
Glad you think so!
You are amazing man 👍👋
I'm trying to figure out the best workflow to create a teaching video based on OBS recordings and a Keynote presentation and a lot of jpeg and png files (landscape photography).
I can’t wait to add this into my videos! Perfect 👍
Have fun!
Wow, you've answered the question that puzzled me. Thank you! I'm wondering how to add animation to the circular border, similar to the videos of Ali Abdaal. He uses rectangles with rounded corners instead of a circle, but the border moves and changes its color.
Thanks!
Thank you for the Super Thanks!
This is the kind of thing where I wonder, did the developers of iMovie etc actually design it so things like this are possible, or are they things that awesomely clever types like Mike find out for themselves?
🤔
Nice tips!
Thanks!
this channel is Definitely the best 🙏🏼
Wow, thank you!
Hey Michael! For some reason when I add the border it only adds it to the green background and not the circle. Do you have any ideas for what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for creating this video!
Good fun.
Michael, a question: I’ve recently been wondering and this video makes it more so at what point is it better to learn FCP? My videos are simple enough but say for this effect would FCP do it with fewer steps and/or as easily?
I too have used more of your teaching of the keynote-imovie than I can count.
What I show is simpler, conceptually, than in FCP. Creating this effect is faster in FCP, but requires multiple layers and more advance FCP features (stencil alpha, compound clips).
Hi Mike, You are amazing as always. Have a Q: I recently watched one of your Keynote Live Video tutorials using Keynote slides and doing a LiveVideo picture in picture.
Is it possible to simply insert the video project clip into Keynote and then for the picture in picture add the circular Live Video element? Would that not eliminate the pre- render step?
You can't add the circular Live Video element to a clip. Live Video elements needs to play through a camera/capture card. I remember trying Live Video in Keynote. It was possible, but added more convoluted steps, and there was an challenge with audio.
Although, I have to ask... I saw that Keynote has a "Movie" export. Couldn't you just insert the original movie in the Keynote slide, then just position it where you want it, and finally just export it as a Movie? Seems like it might be much simpler than this.. Lol.
COOL , Thanks for sharing , might give it a go,
Then I will be Green Cheese. (green screen) no
I was trying to minimize my window , then I realised ,I was clicking on your video screen 🙄
Hey dear..I just follow you for any of my query related to imovie..
How can I play a video in background of a video using imovie...plz suggest me some trick...
OH MY GOD NO! THIS IS SO COMPLICATED LOL ... Why wouldn't Apple just add shape cropping in iMovie picture-in-picture mode???
iMovie already has the "picture-in-picture" feature, but it's a rectangle instead of a circle.
wonder why they haven't simply added a "circular" picture-in-picture option??
Right? Guess they want people to buy FCP to do that.
It's disgusting that Apple doesn't include a simpler mechanism to do this natively in iMovie without Prerenders. I'm guessing it's to encourage users to conduct extra purchases in the Apple ecosystem. Too bad is this much work, but Michael, AMAZING job finding this solution.
Hey, do you do any one on one consultations? I'd love your help with my project, and I work well with direct assistance. How can I contact you directly?
