I have had my KZbin channel for nine months and I’m still learning about Canva tricks and iMovie tricks. You are so underrated and deserve so many more subs then you’ve got! But maybe that’s better for me because your teaching me new tricks that others aren’t using 😂 thanks for making your content for us beginners! 💕

[@meredithmarsh]

Awww thank you Kristina ❤️

[@MissOnigur]

I sooooo needed to find you sooner! I'm a beginner. Def got frustrated with iMovie and quit. Your approach and teaching makes me excited for I feel , I understand a bit more. Thank you for teaching this "old dog" a new trick! :)

[@meredithmarsh]

Haha I’m glad you found me now

[@ColleenMarble]

this series has been incredibly helpful to me. I started at the beginning of the year and I'm committed to learning one new skill for each video. The way you explain things is so clear - makes it really easy to learn! Thank you.

[@MySonsMother]

I just found you today and I love watching your iMovie videos. They are so helpful. I probably saw six or eight others before I found yours. Yours are not only information, but they’re enjoyable. It’s not like you’re telling us what to do, but rather showing us and enjoying it along the way.

[@thedecorativelife]

This is brilliant! I'm going to go back and watch all your tutorials!

[@robertsmallentertain]

Thank you for these tutorials. My class loves them

[@alanjones1704]

GREAT TEACHER VERY HELPFUL becoming more confident

[@maryloukenworthy5981]

[@yoganature_lover4411]

Thank you so much for these amazing tips. Now I'm feeling confident to start making my videos. WOW!

[@HCUncategorized]

Meredith, you are amazing! Thanks for your clear explanations.

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks Heidi!! ❤️

[@ANNARKI]

Thank you! I am following so I can learn more from you. ❤️

[@gardeningrelaxation]

You explain very well.

[@suparmanelmizan]

Hi Meredith do you have a tips how to deal with a huge data with final cut pro? And your workflow. Thanks

[@meredithmarsh]

I wish I did :-) thank you!

[@pichafi22]

Thank you for the great tutorial! Just wondering how you shot the part of the video where you are only showing your computer screen. do you have a tutorial about creatingvideos without showing your face and making a demo sharing your laptop screen, i.e. slides?

[@rickmasters418]

Where are the iMovie Video Trailers stored on my computer? Thanks

[@AbreuFamily]

thank you so much for the tips, very helpful.

[@christopherdang1211]

Thank you, Meredith.

[@jovannapowdhar8254]

Hi! I totally enjoy learning from your videos. I have a question that I hope you can answer. I usually make videos for remote church services during the pandemic. When there is a video of someone singing a hymn, how can I add sing along text to that same video clip?

[@martynlejeune5191]

That is brilliant and so informative. That has made things a lot clearer, thanks so much 😃👍

[@meredithmarsh]

Glad to hear that, Martyn!

[@brendanjohn220]

Thanks for sharing Meredith, great tips!😎

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks Brendan!

[@AppleWatchPunk]

I was looking for a fairly easy way to add subtitles.. which may or may not work since the sound in the video isn’t the best ;-/

[@pedrodavila8810]

Great video!

[@Mik01ist]

This is great! It's 2am and I am still learning! PS: if I wanted to write notes at the bottom I can use the title "ticker" (I guess?) but is there a way to either speed up the text or just keeping it still? Otherwise the viewer takes forever to read.. Thank you and carry on, these are perfect editing tutorials!

[@agwelch]

Love your videos. I’m very much a beginner so I apologize in advance for this question. But how do you add the “subscribe” text and bell to your videos? I’m starting a channel and need to add that feature. Thanks in advance.

[@TheWaywardHome]

Such great ideas, Meredith! Thanks!

[@meredithmarsh]

Glad to hear it!

[@dr_bodling]

Jeez why does your version of imovie have so many more titles than mine? :(

[@Connekt.business]

Who knows, I have the same issue here

[@octopuszombie8744]

Do you know how to add completely normal text with no animations? Please tell me how.

[@madini4042]

Looking how to add just a text page - not titles🤔. So far most tutorial I came across teaching about titles

[@StephenStHill-si7en]

Hi Meredith, your videos are helping me to get started. I am creating a set of guides using sped up dashcams with overlaid titles to show left and right street names. The 4 second standard is working well. The timing is fun and also works well. So far I have a title at the beginning and another between clips, and 6 overlaid titles. When I try for the next overlaid title, it automatically removes the last. Can you help?

[@meredithmarsh]

Oh that is strange!! I’m not sure why they would happen 🤔

[@blyt5046]

i know this is old but imovie has no text options 2022

[@maryam-rd9di]

hi Meredith, thanks for the video! I'm struggling to apply my png transparent text ABOVE the timeline - I can only add below and it wont show up. Any idea why this may be happening? x

[@meredithmarsh]

Hmmm it sounds like your timeline needs to be moved down maybe

[@leximarissa]

omg I love this! I made a v similar vid recently :))

[@HuzzaTVDreamBook]

5:37 😂😂😂😂

[@mattmcdonnell4205]

Can't figure out for the life of me how to actually move the text box. Very frustrating

[@laneeloveee]

Did you figure it out ? I’m trying to figure that out ?

[@hazelkilpatrick7093]

Hi is canva can be use in OS big sur?

[@meredithmarsh]

Yes, you use it in the browser

[@hazelkilpatrick7093]

@@meredithmarsh thank you. I thought theres an app as i cant find it in app atore. Have a lovely day

[@wasifkhan5181]

Your video does not need any editing because when anyone see you they forget about video

[@PeachandMario]

You don’t type it’s slime time, Only type OH,I did it Arrrgh this is very annoying

[@silkeborgmassagedk9172]
