omg thank you so much for the canva part i've spent hours trying to find a video that explained how to overlay text in imovie using something more customizable than just the titles

[@jordanmorrison]

[@LifeOfLoveNHappiness]

Thank you! I was so intimidated by making videos that look better with graphics. Your content makes it so easy.

[@jordanmorrison]

Perfect! That's the goal. Simple easy improvements over time

[@kristiekuehnast5380]

Thank you so much. I am a first time KZbin creator and your videos have been sooo helpful. Can you make one on adding transitions?

[@josephapplegarth]

I enjoyed the tutorial. I do have some advice though. The music in the background is unnecessary. It is basically distracting. Music in the background was a capricious trend that arose during the las ten years. However, it caused many complaints by patrons hence students. It is now deemed as an annoyance. As a student, I comprehend much better with no distractions in the background, for example, music, honking automobile horns, birds chirping, dogs barking, or babies crying, and stay focused on the vocal audio track. I have watched thousands of tutorials therefore I know. Just saying.

[@jordanmorrison]

Valid feedback I’ll take that into consideration as well. My paid courses and instruction does not have background music for that purpose as well. In addition to that, I also have people in the younger age group that become very easily distracted without music or graphics as well who need more visual and audio cues to keep focus. It’s definitely a topic worth the debate and I have been instructing both kids and adults for the past 10 years myself. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated

Can you use Canva for the text?

[@gemmamuldowney4506]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos :) I had a quick question and wondered if you would be able to help please? I am making my first movie on my ipad and can't seem to get the text to appear in one section of my video. It keeps going back to the start of the movie. Do I have to 'split' my clip to add text to just one part of my movie? Thank you :)

[@jordanmorrison]

Yes! While you're still working on everything. My recommendation is to "split" aka "cut" the video at the moment you would like the text to start. Don't forget you can grab and drag the ends of the text in the timeline area to make it longer and shorter

I just bought a new iPhone 13 and have never done any video editing before. Your screen looks nothing like what's showing on my phone. :(

[@tall1cool1]

Background music is way too loud and too distracting, it's hard to hear you speak even at times, and turning up my volume just makes the music louder! Ugh - so frustrating - please, just a friendly suggestion - can you either eliminate background music altogether or keep it very, very, very low?

[@mikomon309]

The music ran me out of here. Yikes. Turn it down, PLEASE.
