This is probably one of the most simple but SUPER COMPEHENSIVE videos on this topic EVER! I'm going to come back to it a billion times probably. Thanks so much, it's so great that you managed to put so much into a less than 15 minutes long video. Great starting point if you never used imovie (or if you used it ages ago but forgot everything).
FINALLY there’s someone who not only explains everything, like EVERYTHING but also shows exactly how to do it. Thank you so much for saving us all from having to buy Final Cut Pro 💕
@@k1ng_chamberlain I found a very specific niche of something that had yet to be done, music playlists were growing in popularity in December and the this one show was too so I combined both, that’s how I got 1.5M views on my first video
girl you are a saint and savior....i have had a mac for forever but i barely know how to use it and here you are just dropping gold. thank you thank you thank you
Omg tysm. I literally almost threw my laptop because I had no idea how to edit on imovie. You helped me so much with all my edits ily and hopefully, you will get more recognition
This is the first time I watched your videos and I’m honestly obsessed! I just got a new MacBook and wanted to learn how to edit and this video has helped me soo much. Keep making more 💖
I appreciated how detailed your video is for those who are new to imovie. Often times people assume a certain level of knowledge but you explained everything really well and in such a helpful way! And your video is a good length and visually appealing.
Thank you so much for this! I've been editing on my iPhone for years and finally got a Mac. It's crazy how the layout is completely different from the phone.
I think it's way easier to shoot long clips and just remove the mistakes while editing because it's easier to have fewer clips just for organization purposes!
this was such an informative video!! i've watched so many "how to edit on imovie" and literally didn't know about half of these filters and edits lol, thanks girl!!
Wow! You honestly deserve more than a million views on this video. I’ve watched like 10 videos on how to edit a video and none of them gave me as much knowledge, if any, than this one. It was so easy and simple to follow along. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this! It's 2023 and I'm finally starting my channel. This helps SO much! I wish I would have found this before struggling with iMovie last night lol but now I'm motivated to keep going! ❤❤❤
girl, literally you have no idea how your video has helped me! no only about editing, but about being more creative and having fun editing! THANK YOUUUUU!
OMG! This was SOOOOO helpful & by FAR the simplest explanation. You explained everything FLAWLESSLY! I legit was just debating earlier if i should purchase Final Cut Pro because i thought imove couldn't do a lot of the things i was looking for. You showed me EVERYTHING i want to do!!! Thanks SOOO much for making this video! Short,sweet & to the point!!! 💖
Something about how you said, "get ready for a long video" has stuck in my head since I watched it several months back. The video was helpful - thank you.
I'm about to start documenting my travel journey and found that so helpful, as I'm totally clueless on where to start when it comes to editing! Thanks a lot!! :)
Hands down one of the most helpful video editing tutorials I've watched. Just enough info...not too much. Perfect. Thank you! And thank you for taking the time to do the time stamps. I'll be saving this video so I can go back to it over and over again.
This is amazing. I’m trying to transition from editing on my phone to editing on my laptop and this is so so helpful! There’s quite a few differences between this and the mobile version I’m trying to navigate. Thank you!! :)
i feel like i have heard the sound effect “manhattan” in a video. i just forgot what video... edit: lol i just figured it out! it’s from moriah elizabeth.
I’ve watched this video many times and it’s thee most comprehensive for me with out getting to vocabulary heavy ! I’m a very new video editor and this is my saving grace!
I've been using iMovie for years... HOW HAVE I NOT KNOWN ABOUT THE SOUND EFFECT LIBRARY *crying over the hours spent searching for sound effects on youtube*
I literally looked EVERYWHERE for someone to explain how to add sound effects and how to zoom in / out for awkward moments and stuff but everyone I watched used expensive software and they weren’t helpful. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for making this video! I love it! It's so colourful, short and complex information given compared to other tutorials and u're also funny 🤭 NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!

Thank you so much for this! I've been editing on my iPhone for years and finally got a Mac. It's crazy how the layout is completely different from the phone.
This was so detailed and loved all of it! Literally sat here and wrote everything down! Thank you!!!
Step 1: get a MacBook
I don’t think you have to have a MacBook I think you just got to have a computer
Jenna Torres No cause u can only get the imovie app on a macbook computer unless you can edit on the phone app
Ella A on the mobile iMovie it doesn’t have as many things on it
cocomilk i know that’s why i told her she can only have a macbook to get imovie unless u want to use the iphone imovie which has nothing in it.
ARMYYYYYYYY
This is definitely the best tutorial on how to edit I’ve every seen (and I’ve seen many) and for that ty 🙂
aw I’m so glad you liked it!!! 💕💓
Is it better to shoot long clips and remove mistakes when editing or keep stopping the camera so the clips are much shorter?
I think it's way easier to shoot long clips and just remove the mistakes while editing because it's easier to have fewer clips just for organization purposes!
