I need some help...

[sakabatou]

I want to install a plug-in to my iMovie so I can get black and white video, but I don't know where to install it to or how.

So help me :(

2. Why do you need a plug-in, when that feature is a part of the program?.?.?

If you go to Effects and there is a black and white option.

I don't use iMovie but have version 5.0.2 and noticed the B&W was a part of the program.

Check it out and see if it is what you were wanting.

4. I have 7.1.4

I don't know where the "effects" window or pull-down bar is. Help!

5. Mine is located above the timeline in the right hand side

there should be little icons, clips; photos; audio; titles; trans; effects; idvd.

I tried an experiment last night but liked I said I don't use iMovie (I've been using FCP), so not sure how to use the effects in iMovie.

I imported a movie clip and added it to the timeline, then I went to the effects button and clicked it, which will open the window for which effect you want to apply. Once you select the effect there is a preview button and apply button at the top of the window pane, however, when I selected the preview button the effect worked both in the mini window, and the canvas window, but when I hit the apply button everything disappeared:shrug:

If you are experienced in iMovie perhaps you will understand what is causing this to happen.

Anyway I hope this helps somewhat. Let me know how it works out.

Good Luck

Edit: I just tried again and apparently it worked this time.

6. It looks like mac removed such features in iMovie '08 but readded them in iMovie '09

I think your iMovie 7 is the offending iMovie '08

7. So... I don't have it... maybe

I'll test it out when I go to the open lab at college.
