How to make the Player Indicator Star in iMovie? (NHL 94 style)

[Cosmic 178]

I would like to add the player indicator star if I can, and of course the graphic that shows who scored and who assisted. Anyone know how to do it?

I am a total novice with iMovie. Doing this is about at capacity for me.

I am using iMovie 9.0.9. The new iMovie is impossible for me to use.

(PS- not sure if this is the right forum area, or if anyone was into NHL 94- I know sickwilly was, because we had some battles in 95)

This isn't something that you could do in iMovie. You would need something like final cut and probably motion or adobe after effects. imovie even the newer one is still a very basic cookie cutter editing tool.

Adobe Premiere is available in a "dumbed-down" Elements version. It retails for $100.

You can find previous versions on eBay for $20-30.

Really easy to add a static layer like that.

You could even design it in MS-Paint or something similarly basic to get it to look "16-bit".

(Draw it small, then blow it up to make it pixelated).

Use Adobe Photoshop (Elements) to define transparency (like the rounded corners).
