LASER

Laser fires a red blast in a given direction. 

SLIDERS

X & Y - Control the horizontal and vertical position of the start point of the laser beam. (In iMovie 2.1.1 and higher, the X and Y values are set by picking a point in the small preview window.)

Angle - Controls the direction of the laser beam.

USAGE

Use iMovie to split the clip at the point where you want the laser to fire. If you want to make multiple lasers, use the "Commit" button after applying the effect, then re-apply the Laser. Split the clip at the points where you want the lasers to occur.
INDEX
LIGHTNING

The Lightning effect casts a lightning bolt on the video image. 

SLIDERS

X & Y - Control the horizontal and vertical position of the bottom part of the lightning bolt. (In iMovie 2.1.1 and higher, the X and Y values are set by picking a point in the small preview window.)

Randomness - Allows you to change the jaggedness of the thunderbolt.

USAGE

This effect allows the user to show an object being hit by a lightning bolt.  This effect also allows users to pretend that lightning bolts are flying off their fingertips. This effect works best with footage shot at night.
