Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea how to use this version and after watching this video, I now know. Appreciate it!
With the aid of this video ive been able to produce a mini movie of our holiday to the Dubai including stills, video, audio and picture in picture. So thank you very much and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just got my laptop and was having the hardest time getting started. Your video has been the most helpful! Thanks again!
+Alicia Jones Glad it helped!!
You saved me bro! I had a few hours to a video that I had been given to do a month previous!
Thanks for the great tutorial. I've just made my first test movie after watching your video!
+Ronan Brady Glad it helped!!
This is "THE BEST" IMovie tutorial that I have found. You covered "everything" that is important in order to getting started and getting funky. LOVED IT!!!!
love your tutorial and love the way you explain everything just learning everthing there is to imovie...because I am not 'an expert'...just subscribed to your channel..just wished I can learn how to add music to my itunes without using mp3 converter has not been working for days using the my laptop computer MacBook Pro...but still trying..have a nice day.
I keep coming back to your videos all the time to refresh my memory and learn something new. Thanks for everything!
Thanks for such a great tutorial. You answered all of my questions (and even some I didn't know I had!).
I have been teaching for over 30 years using multimedia. I found your video to be done very well. Thank you. :-)
Top notch tutorial. Thank you.
this is the definition of a really good tutorial...i highly recommend this to anyone needing to learn to use iMovie...this guy speaks clearly and gets to the point with no extra wasting time...i really appreciate that and i think most people will too. GREAT JOB.
Thanks, Eric! Great tutorial. Lots covered in one video. I wonder if you'd ever do them as smaller videos in a series so finding the relevent info would be easier. I already knew all the stuff about transitions and white balance and fixing sound and was just trying to find the part of exporting today.
I don't know why but the first time I tried to share (export the movie to my desktop) in this new version. It actually exported the un edited clip. I was already uploading it to youtube when I figured this out. I watched your video to figure out if there was some new way to share and it seems like you do it the exact same way...Not sure what went wrong but I'm trying it again right now! Hopefully it will work. I appreciate your videos your aloha wishes! : )
Look in the notes on the video...he gave links to different topics in the video. Very helpful.
Agree w lets call divided topics as Chapters? I'm sure it would be a real pain to break topic down but if they were separated & indexed, it would be easier to find area we need more info or need to review...and for me, it would be about 10 times each! Good suggestion. I'd be willing to pay for something like a chapter breakdown.
He already did chapters, Denise...look under Show More. :)
That was excellent - thanks for taking the time to put it together. Much appreciated.
Wow, this is very helpful thank you!
This video is a very well organized, comprehensive, and instructive video on how to learn iMovie. Well worth the time to watch it and learn!
Thanks for this - extremely helpful. One question - when you have made 2 or 3 movies the library gets full of video clips from different projects. How do you keep it tidy so that you only see new footage or unassigned footage? Can you archive footage used in other projects (but where you want to keep the originals for any future editing)? Thanks
+David Bywater I'd like to know this too.
+David Bywater, +Donna Dyble, +Sarah Hawkyard Media can be organized into events. When you import media using the menu or the down arrow button, look at the top center of the window it opens. It reads "Import to:" with a dropdown. You can drop down the menu to select New Event, which you can then name. Then when you import media, it will be in that event. You can use media from any event in any movie, but it keeps them organized so that you don't have one big pile o' media.
My workflow is a little different, and it helps me remember to organize media at the start instead of going back later.
1) Open iMovie and select the "Media" tab at the top when it starts on Projects.
2) Press the down arrow import button
3) Choose "New Event" from the dropdown and name the event to organize your media.
4) Import all the media you need, making sure your new event is selected at the top if you open the window again.
5) When you're ready, select File, New Movie, No Theme as +Eric Timmer does above.
6) You will now see the project-specific media in the editor, although as I said above you can select other events from the left side tree and use media from them as well.
I hope this makes sense.
+Ted Anderson hi thanks for the tip. But what about organizing videos after an upgrade.i just updated to Yosemite (finally) and notice that all my projects that's been finalized is lump up in one file called finalized media or projects. In the old version of iMovie I can see my projects separately but now it's all in one file . It's almost like one really long movie.
Thank you! This video allowed me to start a youtube channel and use my free iMovie software to edit it. I knew absolutely NOTHING about how to do this and learned everything from this video. I truly am a "Beginner". Great tutorial!
How do split one clip into chunks or bits and pieces? Like if I want to change one clip into two then save it as two different clips.
Right click and split it, or command (apple key) and B.
Thank you so much. We are suddenly making videos for class and one assignment is to place recommendations into a team folder. I'm recommending yours, so you may find you are getting a load of views.
Great information! I purchased an iMac yesterday and have never been on one previously. My soul purpose was for photo and video editing and I've been soaking up every bit of knowledge that I can. Totally appreciate you taking the time to share this info and will def be able to walk away with a lot more knowledge on iMovie than I started with!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you making this tut! I was a version 9 boss (LOL!) and was so nervous about having to learn this new one. You simplified it for me, and you sounded like you were having fun. Much appreciated!
+Radical Selfie Yeah always have fun doing these! Glad it helped you!!
Thanks so much for posting this. I still use this version of iMovie and just used your tip at 36:00 to eliminate some of my "uhs" and "Ummms" that I didn't even realize I was doing. I'm brand new to doing UA-cam vids.... so, until I get a handle on speaking cleanly in front of a camera, I'll use this little gem! Cheers!
This tutorial is very well done. Even in a relaxed formate that you did Eric I was able to grasp all of what you were teaching. You are a great instructor. You went over what you covered again before going to the next topic. Well done.
Most of the tutorials on You tube suck!!! bad. Everyone thinks they know how to teach and they don't!!!!
Thanks again Eric.... You have a new subscriber
This video was super duper helpful, thank you!! I have been a Microsoft Windows user all my life and finally got a Macbook to help me edit my (home) videos faster. Trying to learn on my own was both time consuming and frustrating! Your video was straight to-the-point!
Really appreciate the time and effort you took to create this tutorial. Can't tell you how much it helped me. You've done a great service, indeed. Om Shanti!
Great tutorial! Just starting my channel so only needed the super basic stuff like how to jump cut everything, so great for that. Keep it up!
Thanks - great refresher for those of us that have used previous versions adding a comfort level for the new version.
I watched this and at each "main" segment, I tried it on my own movie. By far, you have the best, easiest tutorial. I was actually able to make a movie that looked somewhat professional! Thank you.
I am a senior .... and very slow to learn I movie 10 ...but I learn a lot with your video GREAT PRESENTATION ...and you have a very very good voice ...not to fast and not to slow
Thank you
I've had the new version of iMovie for a year but have never used it until now. It was really confusing at first because the version I last used must have been from about 2010. This video was very helpful, thanks for doing it.
Eric, I just upgraded my iMovie to this version and was pulling my hair out. You did a FANTASTIC job explaining the steps. You have unleashed the tiger and now I can go edit about 400 videos that I shot but have yet to upload to my channel. Many many thanks for the great job!
+Ask the Builder Wow 400!! Good luck with those and make sure you keep backups!!
+Eric Timmer Yep, we just uploaded about 80 of the 400 and I'm in the process of shooting about 200 more in the next six weeks. BUSY here! GREAT GREAT tutorial you did. I strive to do the same with my home improvement videos.
Your videos look good so far. I subbed since I don't know crap about fixing houses (new home owner here).
+Eric Timmer TNX as we say in Morse. When you have questions do two things: search my videos and then if you don't have luck look at my thousands of columns at www.AsktheBuilder.com. I suggest you subscribe there to my FREE newsletter to really be kept up to date.
This was perfect for me as a complete beginner on Mac and iMovie, all the basics covered to get started. Thank you!
Thank you Eric Timmer for this excellent tutorial! It was a perfect timer for me to graduate from iMovie 9.0.8 to iMovie 10.0.4
Thank you!!! It took me the better part of 15 minutes just trying to figure out how to save things in this app on my own. I didn't realize that half of this stuff was in here.
Superb tuition, very much appreciated. New to Mac and this has saved me hours.
I haven't actually tried this yet; but the instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much for the detailed demo.
I'm 3 minutes into this video. Your teaching rocks! So clear. Thank you!
hey Eric just watched your tutorial and I got to say it's by far the best beginners guide out there! I'm looking to start a UA-cam channel and have been trying to get to grips with iMovie for a few weeks now enjoy video brakes everything down perfectly by actually showing examples. thanks dude!
Brilliant this is basically what i was looking for, did a 3 Live Band Vid shoot 1st time, now need to edit for each Band the Mic was a Rode Stereo , so need to know how to edit & a just audio to get the best .....Thank you
Quite probably the best basic video I've seen so far for iMovie. Thanks so much for taking the time for this.
Eric, thank you, I just learned how to do the side by side picture because of you, an essential for hair dying videos!
Excellent job, I think I'm ready to make my first movie. Many thanks for the effort you put into this!
Thank you! I have watching like 4,000 videos with no luck! You were very helpful because you explained that you have to make the photo into a video & save it!!! EUREKA!
Are useful tutorial, lots of useful hints and tips, I certainly think that my home videos will be a lot better as a result of watching this.
Thank you for this tutorial. I'm a long-time iMovie user, but this latest iteration had me stumped. Your video covered everything I normally use - editing, transitions, titles, and music.
+Helen McConnell Glad it helped!
Thank you for taking the time. I was totally frustrated after I spent hours cuting a video and then when I wanted - like I was used to - open it in iDVD it didn't work because iDVD was not supported on that version anymore. Seems I have not made a DVD in at least one update. So I updated to El Capitan. More frustration when iMovie looked different and the Apple store didn't offer a workshop. Thanks to Aunt Google and You I'm starting to get excited about all the fun features. Now, all i have to find now, is how to make a DVD of my movie :-)
THANK YOU, Eric! I was SO frustrated. Years ago I learned an older version of iMovie and made several videos and I loved it. But when the newer versions came out, I was completely flummoxed . . . AND angry! In fact, I was so pissed off that I just couldn't bring myself to learn the newer versions. I guess it's been about 3 years now, and I finally spent a whole day studying this video. I now feel like a Pro again! You did a great job. What a difference it makes! I wish I had gotten over it sooner! I guess that 10.1.1 is not such a bad version after all.
Thanks a lot!! I know every time they change it I get worried they will remove some of the features I use daily! Glad this could help and I will keep making new ones when ever I think of a new one to do.
Eric, thank you SO VERY MUCH. You have no idea how much this is helping me create my first film on my iPhone. You're a rock star. Many thanks!!!
Thank You for taking the time to make this. Very clear and thought out. Great Job!
OMG THANK YOU!!! I went through hours of "beginner" guides before I could find tNice tutorials and at least make a simple soft... Only video I've
Excellent video for beginners. No fluff, and focused. You're a great teacher.
This presentation was SO MUCH BETTER than what I'd watched an hour ago...Because, what I think what your saying is, play with the menus repeatedly to learn. Repetition hands-on increases anyone's learning curve. Just ordered a MacBook Pro & I thought the package included iMovie or another program may engender have been Final Cut Pro! Not positive now as I fainted when I got to the fortune it cost at checkout! Would like to see a video where you actually show the process and the end product--Perhaps, a 15 minute clip? Also, I got the impression, ain't no way to edit any video w/o USE OF A MOUSE. Unless I guess, if we'd use the old PC way of doing things with ALL Shortcut commands. Truly appreciate you doing this; there are so many of we "dummies" who may not necessarily want to post on You Tube, but clean-up our family history videos for posterity. Just think! You're touching a lot of folks' family memories; that a more important role than becoming POTUS in my opinion. It's certainly more humanistic! Thank again!
Thanks for the tutorial! Just moved to an iMac 27 5k from long-time Windows user and I confess I was cursing iMovie when I first tried it. I couldn't even figure out how to edit a clip. I was frustrated as it didn't seem to make any logical sense. But your video helped me understand the logic and the mindset, so I am off to try it myself! Thanks!
Nice computer and glad I could help!
hey bro, thanks for doing this video. i am a complete novice on the iMac. this is our first iMac computer. your video has helped immensely. thank you so much!
This really started me on my way to making fun videos to share. Thanks.
I find your tutorials very helpful especially as I transition from iMovie on my iPhone 6 Plus to Mac thank you
Thank you so much! I had to watch this for work and it was deeply informative, I don't think they'll expect anything too fancy so this was a great foundation to get my creativity flowing! You're a great teacher!
Thanks a lot!!
Wow, you said lets review....... You are a REAL teacher !!
But still able to explain each stage in a basic manner. Honestly thanks man!
Thanks for the clarity and step by step instructions. Very easy to digest and understand, I enjoy viewing and consume this information. Excellently done.
Hey, GREAT JOB on this tutorial. Up until recently, I had been using my old Macbook Pro using iMovie 09 version. The new version to me looks quite different. By watching your tutorial, I feel like I am on a much better track to start using the updated version of iMovie. You have helped me so much. I appreciate you.
Glad to be of help!! Make sure you subscribe to get all the newest tutorials I upload :-)
Regarding our discussion a few days ago ... I was able to accomplish a save of just one clip to the theater. By deleting everything on the timeline except that clip ... save ...undo delete .... done. You tipped me to it earlier. Thanks .
Superb tutorial! There are many how-to videos out there, but few that are useful. Nice to see pro work, easy to understand, tells the story, no long winded narration. Thanks, Eric!!
Eric, great video! Very helpful. Appreciate the time spent with the audio adjustment, which I used immediately after viewing to fine tune and complete an iMovie for a Screenflow project. Thanks and admire your generosity!
Hey Eric. Thank you for the tutorial. Appreciate your time in putting this together for noobs (new to video editing at least) like me.
A very fine tutorial. This is just what I need to get me started with confidence using iMovie.
Thank you very much.
Patrick
Well done. Clear, easy to follow. Great teaching technique, learned everything I needed from start to finish. Thanks!
I have to say thank you! My english is poor, but you explain very well, your voice is very clear. I, really beginner on this. Please, forgive my bad english.
+ElRecetariodeMamá-Suegra Glad it could help you!
Another thank you, Eric. Not only educational but easy to follow. You have a great gift for teaching. Very much appreciated!
Great guide for iMovie newbies! Thanks so much!
Thankyou very much for this tutorial. I had a final project due that required editing and text for references. really appreciate the time you put into these vids.
Thank you ...so much information to take in as a beginner BUT I'm all in to start my project
Just start with simple edits and build up your skills as you go.
Thank you for this! I've had a Mac for a while but always felt IMovie seemed to complicated, therefore I've been using another editing software. After buying a full 4K video camera I noticed that my current software did not support editing in 4K but IMovie does ;) This video made confident I can make the switch :) Thanks !
Thanks, Eric! that was really helpful and your voice is really nice to listen to! take care...
This was incredibly helpful! thank you for making this and offering it for free---it saved me hours of time and enabled me to get started right away on a project. I also appreciated the order of instruction because it exactly matched what I needed to know!
Thanks Eric... I am gonna make my first documentary for school this week and I had no idea how to use iMovie... You explained very well, and now I am really excited to start my project!! Well done :)
+Julia Lima Awesome glad it helped!!
Thanks for your effort Eric, this was extremely helpful! Greetings from The Netherlands
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was trying to do video editing myself, and I was getting soon frustrated! This was exactly what I needed to know and none of the other junk. You're AWESOME!! Thanks again! xo
I'm a premiere pro editor, currently teaching kids I-movie..
I like how you recap the skills learned in each section and I also like how you explain clicking and dragging to move footage etc..yours is the first tutorial I've found that explains left and right mouse clicks in I-movie :-)
Thanks! You kids will be pros before you know it!!
Would you mind if we used your tutorial in our class?
As long as you are playing it from the UA-cam Page I am okay with it.
OK..
Thank you! :-)
Thank you for making such an informative video! I feel like I understand how to use iMovie much better after watching it.
Great tutorial. It is exactly the right amount of description and well narrated. Thanks!
I just started on youtube and editing! This video is so helpful I cannot wait to use all this information!
This is the best imovie tutorial I have seen yet.

Nice and complete tutorial About iMovie. Thanx a lot!!
Awesome! It's everything I needed to know to put a video together, seriously.
This version of iMovie has a bit of a learning curve, and is a little intimidating compared to earlier versions, so thanks for this great video.
I have seen 2 of your videos and 2 of the most informative, easy to follow and useful tutorial videos I've seen. I Wished I hadn't wasted $20+ buying "instruction books"on Amazon! Keep them coming Eric!
