Adding animations to your videos will give them a unique, polished visual style that makes them stand out. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to add 2D animations to your live-action videos for free using iMovie and Keynote. And you don't even need to have previous animation or video editing experience.

We'll be creating hand-drawn illustration animations and merging them with a breakdancing video. Because why not? Specifically, this tutorial covers how to:
1. Create basic animated elements (timed to a video) in Keynote
2. Export Keynote animations with transparent backgrounds
3. Import motion graphics into iMovie for editing
... and more!

You'll need a Mac (an iPad might do), as we'll be using Keynote and iMovie — free software that comes standard on Apple computers. If you want to follow along step-by-step, you can download the video I'm using in this tutorial here: https://mixkit.co/free-stock-video/br...
