I have a clip, but its a little off centered, is there anyway i can trim the off centered part?
like getting rid of the background

last I checked (about 18 months ago) I couldn't find a way in iMovie, but in QuickTime Pro you can do it with the video's Mask. Look in the Movie Properties (command-j)

what do i set the mask too?

I don't know the answer but I've seen a book called iMovie Solutions that probably covers it. A lot of material on special effects, manipulating images, etc. Also covers QT Pro.

an image file where black is what you want and white is what you don't want (or the reverse, I forget). tip: use tiff for this
