### "Thank you Mr. Apple"

June 11, 2021

5.0

iMovie has become my must trusted editor. I truly recommend it.

Pros

I am not an expert in video editors but occasionally I have the necessity of using one. Of all the editors I have used so far, iMovie has been my favorite. I like the ease of use of the editor and the variety of functions available. It is nice that unlike other editors, this one doesn’t leave an annoying watermark in your project.

Cons

Sometimes whenever you want to import some files, iMovie takes too much time to load or automatically reject them. Like every Apple software, this one is also exclusive for Apple users. Personally, I believe everyone should have access to this program.

### "Memory Maker"

August 15, 2020

5.0

I've been able to create keepsakes that I'll treasure forever thanks to iMovie.

Pros

The ease in which you can compile, organize and then present your precious memories is awesome. It has never been so quick to do with the built in iPhone app. Back in my day, it used to take a slow loading adobe software on a desktop computer that could barely connect to dial up internet in order to produce a film you can now do it with a few clicks in your hand.

Cons

If you have too many other programs running, it seems to freeze up more often than I'd like. I would recommend being sure you save as you go just in case.

### "FACILE VELOCE E INTUITIVO"

March 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

Imovie rispecchia il software di videoeditig per tutti, naturalmente ha delle funzionalità nascoste da livello pro, ma sicuramente è alla portata di tutti e utile per iniziare ad editare video. Il vantaggio è che puoi gestirlo su tutti i tuoi dispositivi apple. Ottimo prodotto lo consiglio

Cons

Non credo di aver avuto mai inconvenienti, tranne per il fatto che su Iphone magati essendo touch non è preciso come sul Mac, ma in sè è un prodotto valido in tutto.

April 28, 2023

5.0

I love it! It is very easy to use for beginners and make videos look professional.

Pros

Easy to set up and learn. I was new but easily made my movie.

Cons

I had to start over many times bc clips were over lapping and I couldn’t get that undone.

### "Video Editing for the Beginner"

February 2, 2021

5.0

I use this exclusively for training videos and uploading on YouTube. With little training, I look professional.

Pros

I especially appreciate the simplicity and intuitive functionality of iMovie for editing my training videos.

Cons

The main drawback is the filing system; even after several years of use, it's not intuitive.

Reason for choosing iMovie

I had no need for high-end functions and features. Since iMovie came with my computer at no extra cost I found it met my requirements for a simple video editing software.

### "Gets the job done. "

July 20, 2021

5.0

It's a positive experience. You won't get frustrated by using it, and you'll get the job done.

Pros

For mac users is very friendly and intuitive. You don't need to be a pro to make a good video.

Cons

They can improve the sharing capabilities for different platforms. Or, at least, make it easier

### "Complex tool "

November 13, 2023

3.0

I used iMovie to make short promotional films for my company. It did the job but I had trouble using it and had to re do the whole thing multiple times. But it may very well be due to my incompetence in making films !

Pros

I feel like iMovie is a professional and comprehensive tool for making films or short films.

Cons

Honestly I am no professional in movie making and I felt like it was not very intuitive to use.

### "A review of iMovie"

October 16, 2023

4.0

My overall experience with the iMovie application was good.

Pros

iMovie is easy to use and to get started with, it has many good features such as easy video editing tools and nice templates.

Cons

iMovie has a couple of negatives, such as the limited amount of templates. Another negative is that there are a lot of features that don’t exactly fit together.

### "A Great Platform for Simple Video Making"

January 19, 2024

5.0

I would say my overall experience with iMove was great.

Pros

I appreciated the ease of use and the quality that you got from it.

### "iMovie best movies editor"

August 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

When it comes to fast, efficient, no-fuss video editing with quality results, I recommend iMovie. Give it a try and you'll see how advanced its editing, timeline, import and export features are.

Cons

It would be a good idea to add codecs for exporting in several formats, and that's it.

### "Creative Time!"

April 21, 2022

5.0

I have saved on labor costs by doing things myself. Who wants to pay for someone else to do something that the person can do for himself or herself?

Pros

I like this already came with my laptop software, because I am easy able to adapt to materials that are already on it. I did not go to college for any IT tech class as well, so this eases me into it. This was free, too.

Cons

I do not like that this requires me to wait a minute to pull up on my laptop.

5.0

Overall it’s a great video editing tool especially for quick, short videos for promotional purposes

Pros

June 28, 2023

5.0

Very good experience!

Pros

I'm a musician and with iMovie, I learned how to make videos over time! The program now seems very simple to me, as it was not from the beginning! It's very easy to add words, inside video, and there are many more options!

Cons

I had an accident once when the file was 3 minutes, but the file turned into 3 hours. Had to delete everything and start over, but that was only once.

### "A Great Choice for our Independent Works"

May 29, 2021

5.0

The app is one of the best we have used as clients and freelancers among professional filmmakers. There is no doubt in my mind that others should try it for their projects.

Pros

Editing our company's independent short films and commercials is incredibly smooth. The wide range of options for producing top-tier videos is impressive.

Cons

There's a tad bit of lag when previewing clips, however, other than that, we haven't had any issues.

I had the privilege to use iMovie on my Mac Computer. I think the company need to create other versions that can support Windows, Android and etc.

Pros

It tool has better features when compared to other video editing tool like Movavi Video editor.

Cons

It supports only Apple products, including MacOS and MacIOS, people on Windows and Android cannot download nor use iMovie.
