The software allows users to place various picture formats, including jpg, gif, and pict, into a clip for easy viewing and sharing. The pictures can be moved within the clip.
This plug-in is the bigger brother of "Picture in Clip (Static)" and offers users the additional feature of defining a second position and size for their picture. The plug-in then moves and scales the image between the two positions during the clip. However, users should note that this plug-in does not allow the placing of movie clips in their clip. This function is best achieved through other plug-ins.
Here are some key features of "Picture in Clip Moving":
- Blue Square: The picture's start position and size define the part of the clip where the picture first appears. To move or resize the rectangle, click inside and drag or click and drag the handles, respectively.
- Green Square: This defines the picture's end position, and initially, the rectangle will not be visible as it is obscured by the red (start) rectangle. To move or resize the rectangle, click inside and drag or use the handles. To switch between rectangles, click outside the currently active rectangle and inside the other one.
- PICT: Clicking this button allows users to choose a picture format from their disk, such as JPG, PICT, GIF, BMP, and more.
- Keep Prop's: This option allows for the preservation of the original picture's size by continually adjusting the picture's frame size—a feature that is switchable for red and green frames.
- Frame Color: A frame color option is available for users who desire framed pictures.
- Frame: Users can define the frame's thickness through a slider control.
- Transparency: A transparency slider allows for the customization of the picture's transparency.
- Blend mode: There's a wide range of blend modes to choose from to achieve a unique output.
- Rotation: Users can conveniently set the image's orientation to their preferred angles.
In conclusion, "Picture in Clip (Moving)" is an outstanding plug-in for iMovie users; it delivers on its promise of providing immense value, flexibility, and convenience for creating personalized videos. This plug-in requires iMovie 4.0 or later to function correctly.
