Consigliato. Programma molto intuitivo soprattutto se si usa con iPhone o con iPad Pros Facilita uso anche per i non addetti ai lavori Cons Esportazione in certi formati. Si dovrebbe inserire più opzioni compatibili con i social Review Source Alessio T. Digital Marketing Specialist Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "For users approaching video editing" April 23, 2023 5.0 Very easy to use, even with a smartphone. It has saved me in several situations and I will continue to use it as needed. A tool underestimated by many but which can help on several occasions. Pros A very fast video editing tool, functional for the purpose and suitable for everyone. I liked it for editing video when travelling so I didn't need large equipment. I used it on the go when I didn't have my computer with professional video editing software available. Cons It has no particular shortcomings. Being designed for a user who has no knowledge of the tools, I cannot report shortcomings in this sense.

Highly recommend as an apple user to edit your videos or make projects using this service. Ease of use on a computer and even on your phone. Highly recommend it, although all my friends already use it. Pros I have been using iMovie since my first MacBook in 2010. Have used it for video projects for school, travel videos for leisure, and just for editing fun videos for family and friends. It is an excellent service and super easy to use - has been for the last 11 years. Cons Other than the fact it takes up more space than I would have liked on my computer, which makes sense doing so - it is an excellent app. I no longer have a storage problem as I have upgraded my computer with a larger SD drive, so this is not an issue anymore.

Super easy to share with amazing results/quality. Pros Easy to use, and most self explanatory. Great features for editing and easy to share. If you have multiple apple devices, it’s super easy access and edit from devices, which personally has been super helpful. Cons Comparing to other video editing tools, iMovie seems a bit lacking, but could also be because I have used other tools and have not fully gotten used to its features yet. Review Source Emily A.

Puoi importare facilmente video e foto, organizzarli in eventi e applicare transizioni, effetti speciali e filtri per ottenere risultati professionali. Il software offre strumenti di montaggio avanzati, inclusi taglio, unione e ridimensionamento dei clip, oltre a possibilità di aggiungere titoli e sottotitoli. iMovie offre anche una vasta selezione di temi predefiniti per dare un aspetto coerente e stilizzato ai tuoi progetti. L'integrazione con altri prodotti Apple permette di condividere facilmente i video su piattaforme di social media e sincronizzare i progetti attraverso iCloud. Nonostante alcune limitazioni per utenti avanzati, iMovie è un software completo e soddisfacente per la creazione di video di alta qualità. Pros Tra le cose che mi sono piaciute di più di iMovie abbiamo sicuramente l'interfaccia intuitiva, i temi predefiniti, l'ampia gamma di funzionalità, facilità di condivisione e il fatto che viene aggiornato regolarmente. Cons Tra le cose che mi sono piaciute di meno sono alcune limitazioni per gli utenti avanzati, supporto tecnico limitato, dipendenza da altri prodotti apple e infine le limitazioni di formati di file Switched from [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/) Volevo provare un nuovo programma per editare i miei video youtube visto che mi è stata consigliata da diversi miei amici Review Source Julie B.

Ho usato l’applicazione sia per creare video con amici sia per creare delle videolezioni per i miei studenti. Pros iMovie è molto semplice da usare, ti permette di creare facilmente dei video di ottima qualità. Puoi inserire immagini, audio, e testi in maniera semplice e creativa. Cons Mi piacerebbe che ci fossero più sfondi per i trailer e una maggiore scelta per le musiche. Il difetto maggiore è che funziona solo per apple Review Source CG Camillla G. Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love this. It works so well." February 8, 2022 5.0 It's made editing films much easier for me. Pros It's so easy to use the drag and drop features. It makes it easy to edit film and add sounds and audio clips. Very user-friendly. Love it. Cons It was annoying that you can't add a thumbnail image to the film. Instead it seems to use the midway point of the film as the thumbnail or start image. This is not always flattering and it's disappointing that theres no way to fix this. Review Source CC Chase C.

The process was a bit tricky, but a quick read through an online tutorial easily revealed how to accomplish this task. Once the editing was done, exporting was very quick and the final product worked perfectly. Did I mention we did all this on an iPhone? Pros A solid, full-features video editing program. You can edit videos with multiple video and audio streams. Some good beginner-intermediate effects. Can be used on a computer or mobile device. Cons Only available on macs or iOS devices. Some of the advance video editing functionality is not available. No options for advance filters or professional video editing plugins. Review Source SN Steven N.

Also, to see other projects from my friends, family, and fellow students/classmates/ and workers. Pros I like iMovie where you can watch and make movies of your own creativity and for passions and interests. I like making my own and like to watch what others make. Cons The ones is I wish there are more features just like Adobe video editing because more the merrier for good videos and nice standards for sure. Review Source TB Tyler B.

It's the go to for every student, everyone making vacation vids and anyone getting into editing film. I have used it for years with hardly any complaints. It is a great program that has improved over the years and will get a lot of the jobs most people need done, done. Before you say "oh its just i movie" give it a go and youll be glad you did. Cons Apple support is awful... for all their products, at all times. Review Source RB Rita B.

I tried using iMovie years ago when I started making videos. For free service and beginner level, this is 9/10! Pros One of the things I like most about iMovie is that it is free and it’s also available on Apple products. For anyone that may not want to spend money on other film editing software, iMovie is definitely recommended for anyone that loves to edit movies or videos without spending any money. Cons One of the things that I dislike about iMovie is the limited options. iMovie offers free software for editing however for someone that wants to professionally edit video as a career or etc, there are plenty of editing software such as Adobe that offers professional services for a fee.

Consultant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "If you're a Mac user, use this!" July 31, 2021 5.0 Pros It's kind of crazy to think that I have this software on my Mac and I can use it and edit my videos with it completely for free. When it comes to features I like about iMovie, there are several. First of all, keyboard shortcuts...they save me so much time! Trailers and themes are another thing that enable me to enhances my videos easily and quickly. Since I often record videos with my smartphone, it's great to be able to work on my videos in iMovie on my phone too. Filters, music and sounds, in particular, are great assets that let me take my recordings to the next level without having to spend hours in the editing phase. Cons One thing I've noticed is that when I export videos edited in iMovie they seem to be quite large files in terms of size. This could become a problem if my computer starts to run low on storage... Review Source Joel M. VP Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "iMovie - simple for most basic edits" May 6, 2021 5.0 For creating quick movies or sound tracks with images or videos captured by your iPhone or other digital media device you can't beat it. If you want to get to a professional level you have to go search for better tools. Pros Apple's iMovie comes prepackaged with your Mac making it available to quick and easy video and music editing. It is easy for entry level content creation with simple but easy to understand controls and capabilities. Cons Its simplicity is actually its limitation. If you want to go beyond simple, flashy videos with pre-set builds or you need to work with media of multiple types it starts lacking functionality quickly. Review Source GB Grant B.

Pros I love the results of my videos after I started using iMovie. Ease, great options for templates and animations is what I find in iMovie. Cons I don't like having to switch screens to look for different editing options. I would like everything to be on the project splash screen.
