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.

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.

Great for basic projects, but missing features for professional editors

Overall I love iMovie. It's my go to for all my fun projects for social media and slideshow videos. I am looking into moving to a more professional level software as my projects have become more involved, but I think iMovie will always be my default video editor.

Pros

I like the software because it just works. It's perfect for beginners and just working on a fun project with friends. The templates are and if you just want a simple fun video editor this is great. It can take you really far and is easy to learn. iMovie is where I learned to make videos and it is my go to for all my basic projects

Cons

iMovie doesn't have some of the more custom or professional level editing tools, but for most video projects they are not needed. One of the things I love and also hate is how iMovie automatically connects all your video clips. It's great for slide shows and many quick projects, but I hate that I can't lock clips to specific spots on the time line...they always move around based on what clips I drop into the project.

Alternatives Considered

Final Cut Pro

Reasons for Switching to iMovie

I choose iMovie because it came free with my mac. I will eventually buy Final Cut Pro, but iMovie gave me exactly what I needed to get started with video creation for my social media.

There is no point in opening a fully-fledged video edting suite on your computer just to make quick edits if you're not working pro in video. iMovie is great for that, and export settings help to share videos easily too.Our clients love to use it because of its simplicity, we love to use it for its efficiency and fast process to a good result, when the task can allow it.

Pros

iMovie is definitely the easiest video editing software to get started with. Without rushing you into pro-minded gibberish, you can make professional looking and engaging videos.Templates is the software's strongest feature. In just a couple of clicks you can customize them to fit your desired results.Its integration with MacOS is pretty much flawless, and does not require a perfect knowledge of your computer to make thing work either.

Cons

It seems to be a very hard thing to make a simple video editing software. Microsoft and Adobe tried and still try to make some worthwhile alternative, but iMovie seems to be the only one who can take a newcomer's ideas and help him produce something fast.Of course it's not Final Cut Pro X, so don't expect nesting, color grading or other professional-level features but still, iMovie makes a great job at being a first dip into what may become a interesting hobby for those who don't own pro video gear.

I use iMovie weekly for my content editing needs, and have no desire to learn a new editing software! It works great for me and integrates my audio, video, transitions, and text elements cohesively and easily.

Pros

iMovie is a great jumping off point to learn how to edit content. It's relatively user friendly and once you get the hang of it you can go quite quickly.

Cons

I have found it at times difficult to get help on using certain features and have had to spend time googling outside sources for tutorials.
