    QuickTime is not a perfect, or even good solution for the OP, “John
    Doe” who is apparently a Windows user.

    To do what? I tried installing QuickTime but that didn’t help
    Microsoft’s Movie Maker edit the file. That is the context of what
    you are replying to.

      Thanks for this post! I didn’t even know this was possible in iMovie. I just tried it out. I used the green sceren in the Photobooth and embedded it over a pre-existing movie (clicking on green sceren option), but the green sceren images all end up semi-transparent! It’s still an awesome effect, but would you happen to know a quick fix?
