Overall iMovie is an amazing free platform (via the purchase of a Mac that is). We use it everyday to produce professional content for use on broadcasting channels as well as YouTube and other social media channels. It's easy to use compared to other more sophisticated and more expensive products. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros iMovie for starters is free. When assessing if we needed to purchase Final Cut Pro we decided to try iMovie and see if it an do the video editing we need to produce professional content. The great news is it does. It is also really easy to use and it saves your edits to come back to so we can definitely recommend this product. #### Cons For us iMovie has issues with dragging and dropping in certain video filetypes, including certain MP4s. This can really delay our video production as we then need to reformat a video file before we can use in in iMovie.

The software has a good selection of text animations and transitions, picture in picture, green screen, voice animations and video speed. #### Cons What I like least about this software is its lack of upgrading. There needs to be a load more of text animations and transitions, as well as the ability to better edit photo/video picture quality to make it look more professional and smooth—as if it were taken with a professional high quality camera. There also needs to be a load more of new templates to start with, as the ones available are super outdated and overused. iMovie is definitely behind on video editing quality. --- ### iMovie is the perfect school if you aspire to upgrade to Final Cut Pro in the future - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Javier M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I started using iMovie when I make the switch from PC to Mac. It was also included in the OS, so it was a no brainer with an integrated program to the ecosystem and for free. It was easy to get familiarized with the interface and project creation. Drag and Drop and the magnetic timeline makes easier the editing since it puts together all clips automatically. This software is great for non experienced users or total beginners to edit a quick clip, maybe a family birthday party video, a trip, etc. The iPad / iPhone App versions are surprisingly smooth and easy to make quick edits as well. More complex editing requires the Mac version. This software is great if you need to edit quick clips and for a more personal use. Maybe is a little short for professional use if you need a more demanding result, with transitions, animations, a more detailed color correction, etc. Mostly because it's doesn't have a big offering of plugins and addons like Pro software does. In this case, Final Cut Pro is a better option for you. However, iMovie is the perfect "school" to practice editing and eventually make the upgrade if you want to become Pro. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Why I liked the most about iMovie is the fact it makes the process of switching from other video editing software very easy thanks to the interface. For non experienced users it's a great tool to get familiarized with video editing and eventually make the jump to other heavyweights like Final Cut Pro #### Cons The main Con is the fact it's a Mac exclusive software. Also, latest versions demand the Latest OS and newer hardware with more RAM / video card resources, which means more money for the latest Mac. #### Reasons for switching to iMovie I switched from Windows PC to Mac --- ### iMovie Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nickolette B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It makes editing my YouTube videos so much easier, and I love that fact that their isn’t a watermark with name of the app when I save my videos. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I recently started a YouTube channel and iMovie is a God sent for me. It makes my editing life so easy! I am able to cut out parts of the video or footage that I don’t want. Mute the footage and speed up the videos. All my projects are saved on the app once the videos are still in my phone. So I can go back re-edit if I want to. You are also given the option of creating your own or you are able to use a template provided by the app, and you can just edit and make it your own. It’s user friendly, and it makes editing a lot of fun, and super easy. When you add multiple videos, a transition is automatically added by the app for you. I love the app! I would recommend 100% to anyone! Fast, easy and reliable. #### Cons The one thing about this app I which could be changed tho, is to add a faster speed to speed up videos, but you can save the video and add speed again. Apart from that this is a great app! I 100% recommend. #### Reasons for switching to iMovie I hate the watermark that came with KineMaster. iMovie is a lot better and user friendly. --- ### Create Video Content With Zero Difficulty. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ayesha J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
