When Final Cut Pro was released a couple of months ago, the software received mixed reviews.

How to Create And Edit Movies Using A Green Screen in iMovie’09
I bet you have seen weather forecasts in the TV. Most of the times, the presenter is standing beside a large map, and the map/weather changes as he/she speaks about the weather condition in different regions. If you are wondering how the animation is done, it is achieved with a green screen (or blue screen/chroma key) effect. What’s best, you can also use it for your next video production.

In Apple’s iMovie, this feature is readily available for your usage.
