How To Add Text in iMovie Using a Typewriter Effect

macmost.com/e-... While there is no typewriter effect title in iMovie, you can easily add it with the help of Keynote. This can appear as text by itself anywhere you want, or you can get creative with more graphics like a search box that appears over your video.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Gary, everything worked except it isn't transparent. Where did I miss that step? Thanks.
OAG

[@macmost]

Make sure you have the latest version of Keynote and macOS and then watch the video again to make sure you do the important steps to make it transparent.

[@PurbeliRider]

Very much problem through iPhone to do this sir. No transparency from iphone 📲 while exporting movie through keynote.

[@Vanessa-fy4fx]

Ty!

[@LisaReisRealtor]

This is a great hack! Thank you! Is there a way to add the flashing cursor as well?

[@hhenry3]

Hello Gary, I have been looking for the type effect that changes letters to say something else. The letters scramble and replace each other horizontally to say something else. I think I saw it in one of your clips but I can not seem to find it. Can you please help? 👍👍👍

[@macmost]

Use the Magic Move transition, and then set it to By Character.

[@laurenbates2528]

So helpful!

[@karendebonis1563]

This is SO cool!

[@Goomer]

Some great ideas here

[@PenandPaperScience]

Great tutorial. Can this also be done word per word?

[@macmost]

The Typewriter (now called Keyboard) effect doesn't have a by-word option. But you could build anything you want using multiple slides in Keynote. It just takes time.

[@Another_Look]

This is excellent!

[@bySterling]

UH MAZE ING 💯💥🙌🏻⚡️💪🏻💻❤️👏🏻

[@lucasjusto21]
