iMovie Reviews

Summary: Overall, if you are wanting to make a movie that looks somewhat professional, but keep it easy to do, iMovie is your place to go. It isn't the most complex software, so there won't be as many features, but that makes it so it is easy to use.

Positive: One of the easiest movie editing tools. It is a great stepping stone into more complex softwares. I also love how you can edit movies either on your computer or on the iMovie app.

Negative: There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to knowing how to use the software. But, once you get it down it is quite user friendly.

Positive: - It is the best application for simple and quick video editing.
- It has all the basic features like trimming, captions, effects and transitions.
- It comes free with Apple devices.
- The rendering time of the software is lightening.

Summary: I used it to edit my screen capture to just demonstrate a small code and was easily finished in around 20-30 mins.

Best for editing small videos or just edit a small project that does not have much effects.

Summary: Overall a great product and very easy. I like that you cannot do much with it so you do not get lost if you are starting out with editing.

Positive: I wanted something that was easy to edit videos I was making and this fit perfectly. I already use Apple for everything and this was the perfect fit.

Negative: I wish I could do more with it but for free software if you have an Apple it is worth it.

Summary: I would definitely recommend this product, but be prepared to have to find things out on your own. If you are technologically savvy, this product will do the trick.

Positive: I needed to make a video for my father-in-law's 80th birthday. I had never used iMovie before. It took some googling and getting used to the layout, but I was able to build a 15 minute video with embedded videos and music in about a day.

Negative: The help within the product is sub par. I had to google to find how to perform functions within the product.

Summary: Overall, iMovie is a lightweight video editing software available on both Mac and iPhone. It is sufficient for editing raw videos quickly.

Positive: - iMovie is the best application to quickly edit raw videos with basic transitions and cuts.
- It is a lightweight software available on both Mac and iPhone.
- It has all the necessary features for basic editing.
- the rendering time is quite low, and the overall UI feels a lot smoother.

Negative: - It did not have any con, but some templates or pre-made presets would be a great add to this software.

Summary: Overall iMovie is a great application. It is easy to dive in and get started with little to no experience.

Positive: It's hard to beat a program that's FREE! Not only that, but it has enough functionality to meet most any need for a beginner to medium level movie maker.

Negative: The only con would be that it has to be run on a Mac. But, if you buy a Mac, it's already included :-)
