So, for reasons, I wanted to edit a gif, place a face over a face in the gif.

It was intended to not be super sophisticated..just that kind of little meme gif that you see around.

I could have opened the gif in photoshop and just edited each frame, but that was just way more than I wanted to do for this minor amusement.

I wound up using iMovie (I'm a mac user) because I figured I could do it simply and get an ok enough result.

I would have preferred for the head to be bobbing around a bit as it goes, but that's beyond iMovie's abilities.

 (motion tracking)

 

Though it's been a bunch of years since I played with it, I could have done it with After Effects, but that felt like using a bazooka to kill a roach. (and I can't imagine that these types of joke gif/vids are done with mega software like AE).

 

So what would have been better to use for this kind of thing? (PC or Mac or other)
