About iMovie
iMovie is a video-making software that helps businesses of all sizes browse clips and create videos. Administrators can utilize built-in templates to share custom trailers across various social media platforms and websites.
The solution allows managers to add titles, music, cast names, and transition effects across visuals on a unified interface. iMovie enables teams to use customizable fonts, colors, gradients, patterns, and logos.

iMovie lets businesses apply split-screen, picture-in-picture, and green screen effects to built videos in 4K resolution on a centralized dashboard.

Although I am now an Adobe AE and Premier user, I say using iMovies to make transitions and videos with little text, I will always recommend it and will never stop using it.
Pros
I recommend it 100% for those who have no idea about editing and want to create content without any experience. Thanks to iMovie, I got really fond of editing, and when it helped me a lot to create quick projects for class. I think it's a very easy to use program and I like that you don't need to learn how to use it beforehand. In both formats (iphone/ipad or imac), it is super useful, although it should be noted that on the computer you have more options for editing and use.
Cons
Personally I am not a fan of the default ones, I find them out of time. I think the design team could update them, and make them more modern, in this case I think I would make more use of them to facilitate the work and time. I would also like the way of editing to be more free and not so limited, but for what there is now, it is enough to create quick videos.

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.

iMovie is by far the easiest video editing tool I've used. While I wouldn't try editing a feature film with it, it works great for quick edits of social media content.
Pros
I liked the ease of dropping in content to edit by just dragging from my computer.
Cons
It doesn't have all of the professional-level features of some other platforms.
