    I remember wanting to get a mac 10 years ago to have iMovie and edit videos for free and giving up because it didn't have everything I needed. You've just given me everything I needed to make semi-decent videos!
    WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 10 YEARS?

    Looks like imovie has improved quite a bit. For people who are doing basic edits with a bit of the functionality of final cut pro or a similar editing software, this looks like a good option!

      It’s really great for quick projects or on a slower Mac. If I shoot with good lighting and have some extra shots planned out…iMovie will do the job.

    Been using iMovie between the iPhone and MacBook for several years now, but I learned a few things in this video. I wasn't aware of the keyframes and didn't know that you could select a range to mute a small section without splitting the clip. Thanks. I'll definitely use those.

    @nick.fredman 3 роки тому +1

    Hey Nolan - thanks for another awesome video! Quick question - how are you recording the video overlay as a second video while you show yourself editing? I noticed you zoom etc. on just your picture-in-picture (which looks great!) and I'd like to achieve the same effect. Are you recording a camera and then syncing the screencast with the video or are you recording both at once somehow? Thanks!

  • @findingyourfelicity1741

    This was very helpful for me who's been stumbling through iMovie for just a couple of months. I especially liked the cloning (not that I want to see two of me or even one!) and also the export tips. I've been frustrated going from the iMac resolution to the UA-cam resolution and the key will be to use the custom setting! Thank you!

  • @aaronwhitefoot
    @aaronwhitefoot 3 роки тому +3

    Just started using imovie. I was limited to fast forward an turning music up or down. Just trying to intake all the information and remember it is where I'm struggling. But thank you I will probably watch this a couple more times. I needed these tips.
