Edit Like a Pro with iMovie

Not to be confused with Magic Movie, Magic Move is a Keynote feature that creates a smooth animation between slides, with the individual slides acting as the keyframes. Whatever the state of slide one, it will transition to look like slide two when you place a Magic Move transition on it. It’s a tool principally used for jazzing up slide transitions with ease, but it also has uses in animating objects for videos.
Apart from taking care of all the animations on a screen at once, Magic Move can help you get around certain limits. For example, when we use the Scale action on a tiny shape, the maximum increase in size of 1,000% only increases the circle to a modest size. This means that if you were trying to create a custom transition such as the one I was keying green out of in the Using Green/Blue Screen effects section of Chapter 5, the circle wouldn’t be able to scale large enough to fill the screen and hide the cut to the next clip.
