<p>There <strong><em>is</em></strong> a way to draw in iMovie all you need is a video of a line drawing and then iMovie will do the rest! <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/vjo2Y.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/vjo2Y.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>See if you put it on green/blue screen you can make the video transparent!
And it will still be a movie, I made my own movie on keynote! It is better if the movie has a different color background then the drawing because iMovie will just erase everything!</p>

<p>We have some movie, in which we would like to draw live on . So for example, you see an object in the movie, then a circle is being drawn around it , and a few small images jumps out of it.</p>

<p>Can this be done with iMovie ? something like picture in picture effect with the movie and some images ? or should we make the animation separately ?</p>

<p>I know iMovie has this frame by frame effect , but for this to work we would need to have many parts of a circle, then run them frame by frame to the movie- which seems problematic.</p>

<p>Then if we create the animation outside of a movie editor, it wouldn't be transparent - like around an object .</p>

<p>Whats the simplest way ?</p>

We have some movie, in which we would like to draw live on . So for example, you see an object in the movie, then a circle is being drawn around it , and a few small images jumps out of it.

Can this be done with iMovie ? something like picture in picture effect with the movie and some images ? or should we make the animation separately ?

I know iMovie has this frame by frame effect , but for this to work we would need to have many parts of a circle, then run them frame by frame to the movie- which seems problematic.

Whats the simplest way ?
