Hi everyone! How would you like to learn two easy ways to add animations like this
to your videos? Firstly I'm going to show you how to animate
static images in iMovie using keyframes. And after that I'll show you a more professional way
of adding animated Canva stickers to videos using a video editing tool like Filmora.
If you're new to this channel I'm Nicky Pasquier and I teach startups and small businesses how
to successfully market their brands online using some of the best marketing tips, tricks and tools.
So be sure to subscribe to my channel and turn on that little bell notification so that you
know when I publish a new video. So if you're ready to get started let's hop over to Canva...
So I'm on my Canva desktop and I'm going to show you an image of an ebook cover which I created
a little bit earlier on. I've just added an iPad frame to it just to make it look
like a mock-up really. And this is the image that we're going to animate in iMovie. Now all
I need to do is download it by heading over to the top right hand corner of my Canva toolbar
and clicking on this downward arrow. I'm going to download this particular image as a .PNG file.
But most importantly and actually crucially I'm going to place a little tick in this tiny box here
to select a transparent background so when this image here is downloaded there will be no
background. You will need to have Canva Pro for this so if you don't already have a pro account
please do get your exclusive no obligation 45-day FREE upgrade using my affiliate link which i'll
give you a little later on in this video. So do keep watching! Once I've placed a tick in this box
to select a transparent background I'm just going to click on the purple button to download it to my
laptop. The reason why I'm using a static image is because it's really quite tricky
adding an animated graphic to iMovie. There is a workaround but to be honest with you
it's quite fiddly and time-consuming and as a busy entrepreneur it's not what you want.
Once you've done that upload it to the media section of iMovie.
Now drag it onto the video timeline
Make sure you position it where you want it to appear on your video.
Now go to the top right hand corner of your iMovie toolbar where you will see this little icon.
This is the video overlay settings and you need to click on it.
Click on the blue drop-down button here and select 'Picture in Picture'.
The overlay now appears on top of your video clip.
Hold your cursor down over the overlay to move it around.
Resize it by hovering your mouse over the blue corner buttons and dragging them out.
To start the animation drag the overlay where you want it to first appear
Going back to the video timeline you'll find that there are some little tiny buttons in the
top left and right hand corners of your overlay. You want to drag these back as far as they will go
because we don't want the overlay to fade in; we want it to appear immediately. So drag these out.
Now move the playhead to the beginning of your overlay.
Double-click until you see this tiny keyframe toolbar.
Click on the central button here to add a keyframe.
This will mark the start of the animation.
Now go back to your video timeline and drag the playhead to where you want your animation to end.
Double-click; go back to the overlay and drag the overlay to where you want it to finish.
I also want the overlay to appear a little bit bigger when the animation is finished so I'm going
to drag the corner buttons out.
And that's done.
Now drag the playhead to the start of the video
and click on the play button to see what your animation looks like...
And that's pretty professional looking! And now let me show you a slightly more sophisticated way
of adding animated Canva stickers into a video editing tool like Filmora.
I've already opened up Filmora and I've added some media to the timeline.
Now I'm going to hop over to Canva and search for a suitable animated sticker for my project.
So I've decided to use this sticker of a downward arrow. What I did was go to 'Elements'
and search for stickers and arrows. And I just searched through the results until I found the
best arrow for my project, which was this one. Now what I'm going to do is download my sticker
as an .MP4 video. You can't actually download a video with a transparent background like
you did with an image file, but we're going to solve this problem in just a minute.
So going back over to Filmora I'm going to find my arrow sticker and add it to my project media.
I'm going to drag it down to the video timeline like I did in iMovie and position it in the right
place. I'm going to double click on it to select it. And this is the important difference between
iMovie and Filmora. By double-clicking my sticker I can now edit it. And as you can
see I still have the white background. So to get rid of it I'm going to find the chroma key
green screen tool. I'm going to select it by placing a tick in this little box here. I don't
have a green screen so I'm going to click on this little pipette here, take it over to my sticker,
hover it over the white background and click on it to remove it. The white background is gone
leaving just my sticker! I'm gonna just hover my mouse over one of the corner buttons,
hold my mouse down and drag on the corner button just to minimize the size.
I'm going to drag the sticker into position. And I'm going to
run through this process once again because I want to add a sticker on the other side.
And now if I drag the playhead back to the start of the video
and run the video I can watch my sticker animation.
So now you have two ways of adding animated elements to your videos.
