  • Not that many options, but still okay to use.

    As someone who loves to make, and edit videos, I say this app is a okay option. The transitions aren't the best, but it's okay.

  • I enjoy it, though I am not using it for a business

    Completely free. No free trials. No limits (unless you maybe run out of space because you have too many iMovie projects). You can have many projects on iMovie and with most likely never run out of space. Once you open the app you then have the option to make a MOVIE, Combine videos, photos, and iTunes music plus free sounds to make your own movie. Or TRAILER, Follow a template to create a Hollywood style movie trailer. You will have more options when making a trailer than on an iPad or iPhone (there are also more things you can do on the MacBook than on iPads and iPhones). The app may take a few days to get the hang of if you have never made videos with video making apps (like iMovie). What you can do in iMovie is: 1. Add photos and videos 2. You can add sound effects or “jingles” that are free with the app 3. There are titles, though there are not a huge amount of them 4. Backgrounds, which you can use with green/blue screens (though you can also use photos) 5. And translations There is more that you will have to find out for yourself GET THE APP! for those who have a createrclan account on the warrior cat website. I AM SO SAD THAT THEY REMOVE THE CREATERCLAN ACCOUNTS!

  • Unusable

    Not intuitive in any way. Videos that have already been cropped revert back to their original, I keep trying to add videos and it just adds a screenshot of the video, among many other issues. This is one of the most frustrating apps I’ve ever had the misfortune of using.

  • App has really gone downhill recently

    I’ve been having relentless issues with iMovie crashing since January 2025. Tech support has been unhelpful, doing everything they can to prevent any reports from getting to engineering. Terrible job all around.

  • Follow-up to my last review

    So sorry to add ANOTHER review, but I forgot to ask, how on EARTH do you change the format from HD to 4K? Thx, .

    This App is very hard to use, I would personally recommend: Instagram Edits, Capcut (Capcut is most effective with pro which cost money), or If you’re willing to pay money Adobe Premiere pro.

  • Works for mini dv camcorders.

    I used it to transfer tapes from my old camcorder and it worked perfectly.

  • It’s gone downhill

    iMovie used to be pretty good for the beginner movie editor. But, I feel like Apple is pushing this to the wayside and focusing their attention on literally anything else. They haven’t done anything to improve this application and it crashes ALL THE TIME.

  • There are some MAJOR BUGS

    I have been using imovie for years to make summary videos of our family trips and it use to be simple and staright to the point but for the last couple years it is a struggle. There is a "gray clip" issue in which your video shows as a gray rectangle as if it cant find the video, but theres not thumbnails or filenail to help you figure out which of the videos it is. When you trim or edit a clip it jumps you back to the start of the project timeline. If your screen lock you are out of luck, you will have to re download ALL the clips AGAIN

  • Who is this for?

    It seems to complicated and unappealing for a tech novice, and too limited for a professional. I don’t edit videos often, so from time to time I’ll try iMovie, but always end up having to use another editor, because it’s too limited. And there are also better options for simple video editing.
