Hello There!


When using iMovie in Macbook Air, remember that you aren't using the latest version, and therefore videos you find on YouTube may be for more recent updates.


When trying to use Green-Screen in iMovie, try dragging the Green-Screen clip on top of the clip you want to Chroma-Key out, then up the top select "Green/Blue-Screen". If it doesn't produce the right outcome, swap over the clips. If this still doesn't work please send screenshots of the problem.


I hope this fixes your issue!
