Green Screen and iMovie first attempt

This is my first attempt of using green screen and iMovie. I found it very straightforward as the research I found which can be found in my previous posts enabled me to understands the basics. One thing I did find difficult was getting the flow of the video correct. As you can see there is small jumps where the lady disappears and reappears. This should flow fluently without the jumps. I know what I am lacking when it comes to green screening and iMovie so I will further develop my skills using iMovie and upload a second attempt which will hopefully be a step up from this one.

To the right you can find a screenshot of the layout of iMovie and the process of my first attempt. First thing I done was upload the green screen video I had of the dancing women. I then had to upload my background to replace the green background. Then I made sure that the preferences in iMovie were 'advanced tools' this enabled me to actually create my green screen, if this tool is not selected it will not work. Once my green screen clip was uploaded I then uploaded my background which I made sure was embedded of the green screen clip. I then selected the option for 'Green Screen' in the drop down menu when clicking on the clips to make sure that the background went over the green screen and not over the women in front of it. I then added titles at the beginning and credits at the end using the text tool. Overall my first experience with this software went well and I think i have gained enough knowledge to further improve and develop my skills for the next time i use the software.
