This tool helps me to create a required length video clip with visual and sound effects without requirements of a very complicated computer devices. All you need is iPad. > > **Cons**: The person who is not familiar with iOS, could run in to trouble in using this program. It'll take some more time. Hence the program itself more have entertain purpose instead of professional skill sets, hopefully it'll change. > > When I visit the construction site (for example) and take some pictures of non-conformances, I than create the movie with some epic music which is fun to present to management instead of boring slides and explanation. This practice have a very positive impact on my Management. ----- ### "Best part of iMovie" — 5.0/5 > **Herald** | *30 June 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I would like to share my own experience here editing a video is become more easy to me day by day. I took no courses to learn this software which means it’s easy to access to anyone. The best part of the software is it made my work more professional Thank you once again. > > **Cons**: I should be not simply writing in order to fill the box and not to keep empty. Im using iMovie since 7 years i feel there is nothing that lacks in it. > > I have already explained about iMovie it’s the best software i ever come across.. ----- ### "iMovie: great for beginners, but definitely not for the pros" — 3.0/5 > **Rachel** | *29 December 2021* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: This would definitely help beginners or people that just need simple tasks completed, like editing clips together and nothing more. It is intuitive, fast, and extremely easy to figure out on your own. > > **Cons**: I do not like how basic iMovie is. There are minimal things that can be done when creating videos with it. This can be helpful for some people, but for those who would like to edit and make their video actually look good, this is not for them. > > This is what I began my editing experience using when I started my position in high school. It is a great learning tool, but I would honestly consider this to be a “training wheels” program for editors. ----- ### "The most practical movie" — 5.0/5 > **Diana Marlene** | *27 May 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like the most about this software is that everything is very simple. All of the tools are very useful and easy to manage and you can figure out how they function on your own. > > **Cons**: What I like least about the software is that sometime it is "heavy" for the device you are using. For example, in a MacBook Air, it may reduces its speed and the ventilator could make very loud sounds. But really, its not a mayor problem. > > iMovie has helped me making and editing a lot of videos for my courses at school. During the pandemic I had to make videos showing my presentations or the evidence of some experiments I made and I always used iMovie. My experience has been great, I consider it very useful, easy to understand and very practical. ----- ### "Great for basic projects, but missing features for professional editors" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *07 October 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049670/imovie?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049670/imovie) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
