It’s pretty sad that’s it’s 2020 and Apple still hasn’t added this feature natively.....
Agreed, but they want you to buy FCPX ;-)
yeah
What's that??
Haatib G Final Cut Pro
It's 2024 and the feature is still absent. But it's possible to do more layers in Final Cut Pro! (299$, huh)
This video is exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thank you very much! 🙏🏽
thank you for this tutorial!!
No problem! Glad it helped you!!
Hi Eric , thank you so much for the imovie tutorial been trying figure out how to overlap 2 video tgt ... thank you so much man 👍
Pretty ingenious workaround!
TheAndySan If you plan before you start editing all the footage it’s not too bad. Especially for a free video editor! I have pretty much figured out all the workarounds I need.
Thank you for the video! was looking for this tutorial everywhere lol
Great tip. I've been trying to figure this out. Works great!
thanks for your simple clarity
Wish I’d come across this 12 months ago ! Thank you !!
Thank god!! I've been thru tons of videos looking for what you just showed me😩😩😩
thanks so much ! just what I needed !
You should sub because I do A LOT of iMovie tutorials ;-) Thanks for watching too!!
great video! still helping in 2023
I would make a new one but….it would be the same lol! Thanks 🤙
Just what I need. Many thanks for sharing!
Amazing and simple work around! Thanks for this! 🤯🙌
Thanks for this.
Thanks for your tips! Like from Australia
This was just what I needed! Thank you!!!!
awesome tipp, just need right now. thanks bro
Thank you!
Thanks my dude! I'm using the mobile and I was hoping that this video would help, and it def did! So thanks again!
damn
this was short and super helpful, thank you!
Hey Eric, great workaround! You really saved my day. Thank you :)
Thanks!
Very helpful tip,
Thanks a lot Eric
Brilliant video. Thankyou.
Quite helpful! Thanks! 👍
Hi Mr. Timmer, thank you for making these tutorials. I just started making short videos, could you recommend a good video editing app for iphones? Thanks.
Either iMovie(free with phone) or LumaFusion(Paid but a lot of features). I'd start with iMovie if you haven't already. I have a bunch of tutorials on my channel.
in imovie they only allow 1 layer but if you are struggling to out another on you can just save the video and then ye
Thx for that workaround 👍
Sad it’s not a feature.
Thank you so much fot this!
This is great advice, so simple! thank you :)
So yeah, you helped me yet again and although, it requires one to export each time an overlay is added, it's still gets the job done. Thank you though.
Thank a lot. I think I did miss something but Imovie does not let me to add multiply overlays :(
thanks this is helpful!
can we do third layer?
Hello Eric. I love your iMovie clips.
I have a question. I use iMovie on an iPhone 8 Plus. I can do most things but need help here and there.
Eg
After laying down a video track, I then want to insert some cutaway shots be it a photo or second bit of video BUT KEEP THE ORIGINAL Soundtrack in place. Can I do that in iMovie on iPhone?
You’re iMovie clips seem all related to desktop ( presumably Mac with mouse operation)
Can you include some tutorials for iPhone please.
Using this brothers method, he may suggest you stop the audio clip at the exact point you need, export the file to desktop in maximum quality and then import the footage again to add your next layer of audio and the rinse and repeat, hope this helps 🙌🏽
Eric is the bike for sale?
can you cross dissolve when you have 2 layers of video? I cannot get it to make the transition
You’d probably want to step up to Final Cut Pro or you will have to “pre-make” the video in another project and then import it. You could also try DaVinci Resolve (free version) but it’s a steep learning curve. Basically you are pushing the limits of iMovie.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻thx
VLLO, £32, it's app. Work well with m1 iPad... Way advanced them imovie
EPIC
I have speaking videos... how do you stop the audio while the invideo is speaking (running)?
Not sure I understand 100% but let me give it a try. Firstly, does the audio need to stay in sync with the video?? And do you need to keep all the Audio or can I mute sections? Let me know and I’ll try to answer
@@ET_Videos Basically I’m running a video and then I add a funny clip in there but I don’t want them talking over each other….I’d like to stop the main one talking so the clip can play and then start the audio back up when the clip is over
This should get you there th-cam.com/video/PlKWx6ndOc0/w-d-xo.html Basically I’d mute the one you don’t want, for that specific period of time, using the technique in this video.
@@ET_Videos thanks!
How do I put a banner on my video
wait but what if i just want it to appear without any dissolve effect or zoom effect
Zero out the transition number, or use the little circle tools at the top right and left of the clip to zero it out. Even if it says there is a transition, if you put zero you wont have any.
@@ET_Videos omg thank you you litterally are the best im subscribing
I have a question. I'm teaching online and recording my lessons for my student teaching program. I don't have every parents' consent to record the students. Only one so I have to cover the rest of the students (I only have 3 to 5 students). They're deaf, so we all used ASL to communicate with each other. We can't just have them turn off their camera. I finally learned how to use an image (smiley face) and cover one student. It works just fine but my problem is that I cannot add more images at the same time. I teach the class through the zoom online. It is extremely frustrating and I can't figure out how to add more images. I could only cover one student. anyone can help me out with this?
Thanks!!
Well for what you are doing you should either buy Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) or use Black Magic DaVinci Resolve (free beta available) to do it. iMovie is limited to one image/video extra. So...if you need to do more than one...you have to make the video with one extra layer...then save it and create a new project with that video, etc. It's not fun! With the two applications I mentioned they let you have as many extra video time lines as you need.
@@ET_Videos Hi! Thank you for replying so quickly! After watching your video, I realized I have to save the video each time and create a new project to cover the students’ face. I did that and I just completed almost an hour ago. That was a lot of work but quicker than what I’ve been trying to do ALL DAY! Thank you! This is better than nothing.
why cant i drag a clip on top of the one already there ? :'(
iMovie only allows 1 extra layer. If you want to do more, get Final Cut Pro(Paid), or use DaVinci Resolve (Free version)
You know how people make youtube videos where they're watching and doing commentary on a video that they have playing up in picture in picture? My question is - How do you talk about a video you put in PICTURE IN PICTURE and pause it/ then play it again each time you want to respond to parts of it??
You can use freeze frame. It's in the speedometer icon at the top right. There is a drop down and you will see freeze frame in there. Once you select it you can make it as long or as short as needed.
@@ET_Videos That's not fixing the problem...When I hit import and start recording myself, it's just recording me (I can only see me)...Then I have to overlay the picture in picture video over the top of that AFTER I recorded myself talking.... But that's not allowing me to reply and commentate the video in the PIP that I want to talk about.
@@LogicallyOffensive What you are trying to do is probably better done using OBS. iMovie isn't really designed for what you are trying to do, if i am understanding you correctly.
@@ET_Videos What is OBS? It allows you to record yourself while watching and commentating on a picture in picture video at the same time??
@@LogicallyOffensive I don't do tutorials on it but there are tons. obsproject.com/
Allows you to record screen, cameras, and multiple audio sources. Pretty much anything you can think of you can do. It's what most streamers use.
I can't do that on an Ipad, can I?
You can but it really is a pain in the you-know-what to do it in iMovie on the iPad. I wouldn’t bother trying it...lol. Luma fusion can do more pro level features but isn’t free. If you want more than what iMovie can do...I recommend that for iPad.
It does not work for me:(
Wait a second, this is a workaround, it is not scalable, imagine if I want to add 10 videos, and modify then at the same time, it is impossible.
Is this an iMovie technical limitation?
Thanks
Yes this is a workaround. If you need multiple layers you can upgrade to Final Cut Pro or try Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve which has a free version. iMovie has pretty much always been like this, and I don't see them changing it.
@@ET_Videos thanks!
It’s such a pain with hour long videos though…
i hate it how it takes so long to download if the clip is longer. anyways, thanks.
There’s gotta be an easier way
In other words, there is no way to use multiple video overlays in iMovie
Yeps, unless you use this workaround. If you need more you should use Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Grab your creditcard 😢
Apple is such a greedy company. Windows Movie Maker for Windows 95 ( or however was called) was better... compared the technology at that time...
But now we don't have a Windows Movie Maker so...Being a "Greedy Company" keeps products like iMovie, Pages, Notes, Sheets, and everything else free to people that buy Mac's. For the amount of free software that comes with a Mac...I don't think they are Greedy. Some people buy a Kia, some people buy a Benz. That's how I look at it. If you want FREE and full featured...Go no further than Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve. There is a totally free version you can download. This works on Mac/PC/Linux. So best of all worlds. That said, I still prefer iMovie and Final Cut Pro over Resolve, for their ease of use, and they get-out-of-my-way lol.
SUPER HELPFUL! THANK YOU!
