Great video, thanks for the heads up 👊
This was super helpful, thank you!
I need to create a video for an important school assignment. I'm in my senior year and I need to showcase complex and movie editing features. What is the best software for me to use? I can purchase software with a 30-day trial as I won't be needing it for longer but I need to know the best software where I can showcase different complex features of video editing in my video. Which software should I go with?
Thanks for the information👍
How do i get imovie on windows 10
I've uploaded 450+ videos to UA-cam using iMovie over 3.5 years, it's just about time for an upgrade!
Hey Mike, enjoy! I think you'll like FCPX
I remember when I first got a Mac, I felt iMovie was too difficult and preferred to use the iPad version, when I learnt it, I felt the iPad version was limited, and when I got FCP, I struggled at the beginning and usually went to iMovie, but when I learnt it, I felt iMovie was limited, and now I realize the iPad and iPhone app is too basic 😅
haha that's always the problem, it's very hard to go back once you start on a new one.
OMFG!!! that imovie exporting in 4K tip by making sure your first clip is 4K is like gold. Thank you.
Right?! A lot of people miss that out! Glad you enjoyed it
Really helpful video, thank you, I’ve been using iMovie for 2 years and I’m ready to take my UA-cam channel and editing to the next level, so will be definitely upgrading to Final Cut Pro. Thanks again.
You can do it! You're gonna love FCPX!
How is it going so far for you?
Do you like it? Cause I buying with my stimulus. 😭😂
You can fix the layer problem on I Movie by first getting on with 2 screens downloading it into one and placeing it on 2 more
If you don’t know if you need Final Cut or not, you’re probably good with iMovie :)
The first tip is awesome. Never realise that imovie can do 4k as well.
Yes it's pretty good for some free software!
Agreed and now I know why it didn't work for me when I filmed in 4k, but iMovie didn't process the finished version in 4k. Darn intro image! LOL!
It can do 4K but cant do 60FPS
@@anonymousrulz It can actually. I recorded myself in 4K 60 Fps Apple Pro Res and it does it all.
you actually can keyframe in iMovie, though not to the same extent as in fcpx
very informative! thanks! (I switched from Adobe/WIndows to Mac/Final cut)
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your great tutorial. iMovie is outstanding…especially for free with Mac. If anyone needs more video layers, they could export the edited clip out then back in to IMovie & continue adding another layer & build a composite when needed.
You're welcome! Great tip
Nice concise video. I’ve been using iMovie for years, and about hit the limit. Been playing with free trail of FCPX. Steep learning curve. For my needs I find iMovie works best for me as I only have a small UA-cam channel. But I like the tools of final cut.
Hey Pete, yes iMovie is great. I use FCPX mainly and when I went back in to film a new turorial series this week, I realised just how good it is, so many featues!
The new playlist for iMovie started yesterday, I'm sure you'll know everything I'll teach in it, but might be the odd trick as we go along; ua-cam.com/play/PLUfBgTurvFKpyn2KUFlidQ9QDRlvApUvl.html
There is the option / workaround to create titles etc. in keynote and either export those as movies / png / tiff for import to iMovie to enhance your titles options. Keynote will even export movies in 4K.
Great video. I've been using imovie for my channel for over a year. After watching your pros and cons I'm convinced to stay with imovie for the time being. I've discovered several work arounds that you mention as limitation, (adding multiple screen effects to one clip) e.g. blue screen and picture in picture. Also found you can make multiple changes in an audio track. Hover over the audio line and press the option key it will but a marker add several and the audio can be moved between the markers. Great content thank you, subscribed.
Sounds to me like you should be making a video about it
I used Final Cut Pro X for a year, then had to go back to iMovie because I no longer had access to the account that had the license for it. I did find that it was relatively easy to step back, though you find yourself looking for ways to compensate the video tracks etc. As I am doing more explainer videos and cycling videos, I am now considering taking the plunge and buying it myself. I think the improved workflow is probably worth the money just in time savings.
I've been editing on imovie for well over a year now and thinking about upgrading soon to final cut pro, might have to do it soon!
Hey Cole, Take the leap! if you have any questions or issues feel free to ask and we'll give you help!
yeah i've been using imovie for ages now, i thought maybe its time to upgrade, so i went to go onto the appstore and instantly shut the app store after seening that price.
Lol i just started using iMovie (newbie on yt) and then a friend of mine suggested the final cut pro and when I saw the price! Well, I close my eyes and went back to iMovie 🤣🤣😎.
😂😂😂😂
Lolll these comments!!
As a new UA-camr who is moving over to the Mac ecosystem, this video was really helpful!
You're welcome
Was just thinking of if iMovie is cool to use or not for Vlogging, but from the comments lol well established YTers have used iMovie for years so I’m pretty sure that’s all I need. Like the switch to Final Cut Pro tip
Yes iMovie is actually pretty powerful, and it’s very easy to use which makes it less stressful if you’re new to video editing
Thank you - that's so helpful! Thinking about transitioning to Final Cut Pro after using iMovie for 1.5 years.
Fantastic! Let me know how you get on if you upgrade.
I have been doing video editing for my UA-cam tutorial channel on iMovie for almost 7 years now. Now I am feeling that I am getting restricted and I need something more. This is exactly the video I needed. Thanks. As you said, for a beginner iMovie is a great tool to become familiar with editing.
Great to hear!
Thank you for this. The multiple layers with the pics in one go is a must upgrade for me. Spent too much time exporting the whole video and importing just for 2 pictures..Not enough when doing lots of animated gifs.
thanks for pointing out that "Final Cut Pro X can do a lot doesn't mean you can do a lot with it." - this is exactly what I am struggling with right now hahaha. Good Video :)
Hey Cindy, yes sometimes more features can mean more complications!
So I’ll stick to iMovie until I get my Mac mini 😊 well made! Thank you!
You're welcome, Glad it helped!
Thank you for this Video.It showed me everything i wanted to know.Brilliant Video.
Glad it was helpful Peter!
I've been going back and forth. Love iMovie for the simplicity. Final Cut has too much options sometimes and that is confusing :)
But definitely Final Cut Pro is more powerful, there is no doubt.
I have been using iMovie for a couple of months and am curious about Final Cut Pro - thanks for the very informative video!
I found this to be very helpful. I'd love to see options for Davinci Resolve vs Final Cut !
You got it! Coming soon!
Unless you’re amazing at color grading then go with fcpx, unless you shoot with a BM and get divinci for free.
Great video, exactly what I needed to know! BTW, kudos to you for advising people about the learning curve - just because the software can do it, that doesn't mean YOU can!
Thank You for such a clear understandable description of both iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Even though I have used iMovie for years your taught me things I did not know. I plan to get a new Mac and needed to decide if I needed or wanted to add Final Cut and your have the first review that really helped me get the difference. Great job-
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Pro as I feel I have outgrown iMovie. This was super helpful x
Glad it was helpful!
In the older version of iMovie, you used to control the aspect ratio and transition of the text. In iMovie 10, you can’t. iMovie 10 is okay but not as good as its previous version. I currently have a new MacBook with extremely limited space. As much as I want to get Final Cut, my Mac’s space is almost really low because of moving my iMovie projects from my old Mac and installing Adobe After Effects. I wish we could be able to change the SSD for the new MacBooks. Sadly we can’t...
@Nich do-in stuff Thank you for the advice. In fact, I've already moved my iMovie Library into an external drive. Now that you mentioned it, I told dad about my limited space, and he told me I should try external SSDs. You know what apple should do for future Macs? They should put some kind of slot for the internal SSD on the motherboard, that way we have a way to change our SSDs
I’ve used iMovie for my UA-cam videos but just got a MacBook Pro which had an educational promotion which included FCPro. I’m going to start learning how to use it. Thanks for the tips!!
Thanks for sharing! I think you're really gonna love Final Cut... it takes some getting used to, but it pays off.
*Thank you for the helpful video. I'm just getting started and using iMovie, but I'll definitely eventually upgrade to FCP when I learn more and get more traction. Thanks again!*
I am an 250 subscribers UA-camr and I think that IMovie is pretty pretty awesome.
Thanks for some new tips, i am sure that this will help me a lot
Hey that’s great to hear, well done on reaching 250! Yes iMovie is pretty great and sometimes I use it even though I can use FCPX really well
thanks, and again thanks for the tips.:)
Thank you for the video, I do use iMovie and I absolutely love it for its simplicity. I’ve been a music producer for almost 20 years and one thing I learned is that simple is always better. Whether it’s simple with editing, or music, or video, simplicity is key. When things are simple, the artist can focus on being artistic and creative - it allows the mind to flow. When things get technical it just wears down the brain and can be seen in that persons work... I do have to admit that iMovie limits you to many things like for example something as simple as the last fade-out, I want to be able to control the length of it to adjust to the feel of the music but I simply cannot do that, however, with everything in life there is a give and take. Have you used adobe premier by chance? How would you compare that to Final Cut Pro?
Very True and deep. I totally agree and folllow this always. Thanks
I’ve just started dabbling in UA-cam and iMovie is treating me well 😁
Just want to add something for 3:02 - 3:15 YES YOU CAN, you have to select all clips on your time line and rotate them, then export and then rotate back with quick time - your welcome
Hey yes it is possible that way, but it's confusing for newbies.
Great video!! I have not yet graduate to using FCP but I have been able to get around some of the iMovie limitations that you mention albeit for non-professional video by using some work arounds. For example: 1) additional title transitions can easily be created in Keynote using a transparent background and animations and imported into your iMovie project. 2) I can export a movie from iMovie bring it into Photos and crop into a different size e.g., square and c) for layering I just export my 2-layer video in pro res format and reimport back into iMovie and add another layer. I recognize size that these are just simple workarounds and I'm sure there are others but it is a 'poor mans' way of doing AMATEUR videos without the expense of FCP. IMHO
Great video. If only Imovie would allow imports of transitions, titles etc there would be little need for Final Cut Pro. Especially with Keynote in the mix you can mix and add just about anything.
Thank you!
Got both programs but have not even dive into any of them. Thanks to the great advice, will start iMovie first then hope to learn more and move on to final cut. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the comment, yes I hope you enjoy using both of these programs. Let us know how you get on
Thank you! Great break down, I was going to go all out and get Final Cut but after that review I’m going to stick with iMovie for a little longer. New subscriber here 👍
Thanks Carey! Yes iMovie can do so much! Thanks for the sub too!
Super useful!! Thanks a lot8 I've been using iMovie for 3 months now and I was already familiar with editing so it was even easier for me. But I'm definitely gonna switch to FCP and your video really helped, I think I'm ready to use it. Especially considering the fact that they have a free trial of 90 days.
Hey thanks for comment and so glad the video helped! Yes it's defiantly worth grabbing the free trial to see how you feel about FCPX.
Thanks so much for making a professional video that explained everything to me! I've been wanting to upgrade my editing software for a while, imovie just has a lot of limitations and im tired of doing so many workarounds
Glad I could help Levi!
you actually can adjust the volume of audio in iMovie, even in the middle of a clip. option+click adds an audio anchor and u can adjust from there
Thanks Parke, great tip!
Final Cut is basically a pumped up Big uncle of iMovie.
I have been editing in iMovie for 4 years now and I’m thinking about changing softwares.
You can do sooo mich with iMovie. And there are some thinks which FCP not is capable of.
Edited nearly all my videos on iMovie, just sometimes it comes to its limit. So you can come along way with IMovie especially with UA-cam vids.
Hey yes you're right, iMove is very good especially for a free app!
Thanks for this.. very helpful. Just starting with Imovie..
You're welcome!
Lol a year ago I made a video using iMovie and I needed to add 4 tracks but iMovie can’t do that so I put on one of the tracks and downloaded the project then put it on another project to put on another track and so on until I added all my tracks.
LucianCLAYTON I’ve def done that b4 I swithced
yes, it's a lot of messing around!
That's actually genius
Great video. I have the free trial of final cut pro x and I used it for the first time today. I actually liked iMovie better but that's because I'm new to editing. I've only been using iMovie on the MAC for a couple months and on my phone for about 4 months. I'm going to force myself to keep using Final Cut Pro X until the trial runs out so that I can make an educated decision but this video did help a lot.
Hey that's great, yes it's good to test them both out. I know people who paid for Final Cut and then realised they didn't really use any of the additional features!
Great video, thanks. You explained both programs very well. I've been using iMovie for amateur videos and I'm doing fine. I'll leave the leap to Final Cut until I start doing more, and I have more time to learn. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
So stoked to try this! I make beauty content, but I love using green screens to highlight products and features. I have to make custom call outs for every single step on keynote, finally upgrading so I'm ready!! Great video✨
Hey Yvanna thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video! yes I think you're gonna like Final Cut Pro
This is really helpful. Will start with IMovie. Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful! Yes iMovie is a great place to start.
Thanks so much for this info. I've been using iMovie for my UA-cam videos and wanted to know if Final Cut Pro X is worth the $300, definitely answered my question! :)
Glad it was helpful Gaby! Are you staying with iMovie?
I signed up for a free trial with Final Cut to see how I go and then decide, but I'm already loving the additional features so I reckon I'll be making the switch. Thanks for asking. :)
You can download it on software
Thank you, just what I needed! I was convinced I needed to learn Davinci Resolve (the free version), so I bought an upgraded video card and more memory for my Win10 PC. However, I HATE Windoze with a passion and really wanted to use my Macbook Pro (2012). Unfortunately, it won't run Resolve very well due to the MB's built in video RAM. I discovered iMovie is all I need to get started and it imports and reads my HEIC photos; something Resolve refuses to do on Win10. iMovie and FC Pro operate very efficiently within the Apple ecosystem. I'm sold. I also "liked" and subscribed to your channel ! Bravo!
Hey Carl that's great, really glad you're enjoying iMovie! Yes it's a great little video editor!
You can create some animations as slides in Keynote, export as an auto playing video file and put into iMovie.
Hey Coy, yes you could do that, does it work ok?
Thank you for this video!! It was extremely helpful. I have been doing promotional work for my local council and I have been thinking of purchasing final cut pro X for ages!
Hey Nica, glad it helped!
@2:23 "In simp terms...", I guess this video was made for me.
It was!
Great video. Subscribed. I love someone that is honest and puts things into context without selling you something. I'll defo be getting one of those key covers. Where does IMovie pro fit in?
Thank you Wills for the info. nicely done.
My pleasure!
BRILLIANT thank you I am just starting out and using imovie on my mac - FCPro had a free trial during Covid so I wnet on and signed up (3 months free) but I think your advice of getting competent first on im is one I will take! Will follow your videos as well v enthusiastic presentation!
Thanks so much Kevin, glad you’re enjoying the videos and hope you’re enjoying Final Cut Pro X
Was just about to buy final cut and glad I watched this
So glad it helped! Saved you a few £$ there!
Good presentation I prefer still travel/street photography shooting RAW and enhancing in Lightroom. I occasionally run into a video clip scene and shoot that with Sony A7.
As part of my stay at home project I find importing enhanced stills works really well with the small clips as needed to tell my story with the iMove program, sharing that on sites like FB, Flickr and UA-cam.
No burning desire to use Final Cut Pro but can see how useful it is for the video pro advanced community. Thanks for the easy to understand information well presented.
Enjoy the Holiday Season and greetings from Northern California Richard
Very helpful video! That tip about the 4K first clip is gold...I learned that one the hard way a few months ago! 😜
Thanks! This was very informative. I am thinking abut FCPX and this video gave me a lot to consider
Thanks so much, really glad this helped.
I’m making the switch from iMovie to FCP by using the FCP free trial looks good thanks
RJ games: Yeah, ive been editing with iMovie for a year, and now I wana try out Finale Cut X. Also, I wanted to make like a short movie with it, and, I NEED MOR VIDEO TRAKS! so yeah thx fa dis!
This may sound trivial, but one thing that I didn't realize I appreciated about iMovie, and I can't seem to make happen in Final Cut Pro, is that when you scrunch down your video timeline to the smallest length in order to see your whole edit visually from beginning to end, on iMovie, this diminishing of the timeline results in each of the cuts you've made turning into separate thumbnails of equal size, which makes it easy to account for each clip no matter their length. However, in Final Cut Pro, when you reduce the length of the timeline, the cuts stay within proportion of each other. This means that if you have a project of, say, twenty minutes, any smaller cuts all but disappear when you scale the timeline down towards the minimal side of the spectrum. This may not matter to most people, but for me since I like to batch certain effects (color, volume, dissolves) and I like to see that they are applied to each cut, the Final Cut Pro's diminishing of the cuts to where I can't see them makes it hard to handle these batching maneuvers. Maybe it's possible to turn the Final Cut Pro's timeline into thumbnails like iMovie does when you shrink it down, but I haven't found a way to do it yet. And I concede that professional editors likely have a more efficient workflow then I do. But I'd love to be able to do this. I even called Apple, and the Final Cut Pro specialist they put me on with said that he didn't think it was possible in Final Cut Pro. If anyone knows how, would you please reply to this post and let me know? Thank you. - Fred
Great video just the info I needed . Love the accent ❤️
Glad it was helpful and thank you!
very informative. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful and informative video. iMovie user here that's exploring her options. Cheers!
Great summary! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks bro this was very helpful, I just bought a MacBook pro 15".
Thanks Derek so glad you enjoyed the video!
Yes sir!
Good video! I've been using imovie for quite a while now but I'm thinking about buying final cut pro, especially because nowadays the program is much more affordable. In my opinion the first versions of imovie had much more options; you could also make 4:3 ratio movies and they had much more film effects and extended audio editing capabilities. The downside was that in the older versions the editing was "non reversible" and the redering happened during the editing process, which made the process quite slow. For me the earlier versions felt also much more intuitive to use. and seems to me that with every new version of imovie, Apple tries to change all keyboard commands.
Just two video timelines, this is a big killer in iMovie. For UA-cam educational videos, I've used up to 6 video timelines to overlay information. Not to mention 2 or 3 audio timeline tracks. So, it was always Adobe Premier Elements until Adobe messed that up and slowed it down to a crawl. Then it was FCPX :) Brilliant.
I added five video tracks, so I’m not sure why he said that.
@@jenn4593 Final Cut Pro has unlimited video and audio tracks, iMovie has a limitation of 2 video tracks.
Great info I’m still debating. My entire channel so far are all from iMovie. I learned I can layer with iMovie...but I have to export first and if I want to add another video or affect I would keep exporting and bring it back into a new project. Hope I explained that clearly. It’s a pain but it’s still free 😆
Hey Eric, yes I would download the FCPX trial and have a play with it. If you're happy with iMovie and it's working well I'd stick with that.
Thanks for the vid. I am still doing my vids on iphone with iMovie because I do not have Macbook. For now it is enough for what I am doing. But for sure one day I will switch to Macbook. And then maybe also to Pro X.
Thanks
hey yes iMovie on the phone is pretty good. Have you tried Lumafusion, that's also very good on iPhone
An extremely informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Simple and easy to understand. Very good review. Thank you! ✨
Thanks for watching jodi! You're welcome
Thanks for your video, very informative,deciding wether to upgrade from iMovie to FCPX, liked your advice to start with iMovie get comfortable' with product then step up, your presentation is first class, will keep your link, and improve my skills - thank you for your work! - Peter.
Thanks so much Mary! Really appreciate it!
Good video. Clear explanations.
Thanks so much!
Nice video. I wanted to know whether I should get Final Cut or just stick to iMovie, but this video helped me decide. You earned a new sub, great job.
You’re welcome and thanks so much for the comment
Very insightful, thank you! Will trial FCPX and take it from there. Finding iMovie a tad restrictive now
Good luck with it Owen!
@@editorskeys appreciate the support ✌️
I'm wondering about framerate. I use my iphone as a camera and on to Imovie. I often experience audio drift. What about Final Cut Pro? can you upload video file from iPhone to FCP without audio drift?
I'm sure it's already been answered somewhere in here but do you have any kind of preference of Final Cut Pro vs Adobe for editing Drone videos?
Thank you for clear and succinct prez. I am old timer who want simple no nonsense. Imovie will be perfect for someone who grew up in era of no computers or mobiles lol. Namaste
Thank you , this is so helpful. Love the content and how easy it is to follow along . 😀
Thanks so much Barbara so glad you’re enjoying the videos and I hope it’s helped!
I've been using iMovie for over a year now for my UA-cam channel but recently since the update I've been having glitches with it that I've never had before. It's getting really annoying and I think I need to upgrade. Just praying that for $400 on Final Cut I don't have to deal with these same issues. Thanks for the information, it was helpful.
Hey Deana have you changed your camera?
I noticed there was a big update for iMovie a few days ago so it might be worth trying the update
Editors Keys I have not changed it. But maybe I’ll double check my computer and see if an updating needs to happen, thank you :)
Very good video, thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
This video was really helpful! I’m a student and there’s a new bundle with Apple where it’s $200 for all 5 pro apps including final cut. I’m a very new UA-camr, had a gaming channel w/ no editing prior and recently switched it, I wanted to capitalize on that deal but this made me realize that I really do need to start with iMovie. Since I am very new there’s no need to feel discouraged with how hard something is. And I guess I’ll just hope the deal stays, I’m going to med school so I’ll be a student for a long while haha.
Thanks Supriya, yes keep going, you're going to love it!
Thank you for the information
My pleasure
You are soooo nice !!! This was a helpful video. I'm a newbie but since my focus is social networks (fb, ig) .... I think I'm gonna dive into Final Cut X .... adapting size IS A MUST.
So... what was this video edited with?
Seriously! My same question 💀😂
adobe premiere pro XD
Ashley Higginson If he has Final cut, probably final cut.
there wasn't much to edit so probably Imovie
@@oeuf1280 sony vegas on a pc
Thanks for this video. Thank you for putting it in the right context . Appreciate very much!
Thanks Aries!
This helped me out a lot. Im planning on getting a macbook pro for my UA-cam and was wondering if it was a good idea to go ahead and buy final cut pro x with it but I think I might just wait for now. Thanks for the help!
Hey thanks! Yes I would start with iMovie, it's actually super powerful. I'm also uploading a new playlist with a new video every day going from beginner to pro in iMovie, so you might enjoy that! 2nd video going up today
ua-cam.com/play/PLUfBgTurvFKpyn2KUFlidQ9QDRlvApUvl.html
Awesome! I'll subscribe and check out the videos. Thanks for the help!
You can get Final cut for free, if you look around.
This is the most helpful and practical video I have watched so far. I guess I will stick with iMovie for now. 😅
Thanks so much for this video! SUPER HELPFUL!
You're welcome!
Final cut of course
iMovie seems limited until you start digging into it with the help of youtube tutorials. The program is self-explanatory only to some degree and has some very well hidden secrets, like YES audio keyframes (left click with option key pressed, use in detached audio for better visibility) AND video keyframes, and it has extensive color correction options.
Another example: After using iMovie for years to create private holiday videos I just recently found out that you can manipulate the boundaries of the green screen overlay and limit it to a section of the screen. Have not seen this documented anywhere.
And with the help of Keynote (free for Mac users) to create custom titles and effects using green screen, you can extend your possibilities way beyond what iMovie was ever intended for.
Great video!
I’ll keep working on iMovie for now
Thanks Greg! Did you see we have a playlist of iMovie tutorials?
