How To Use iMovie on iPhone (Beginners Guide)

[@kokobeatz7222]

Mad props for having the Bible app.

[@aliciabentley8176]

This was very helpful. I’m looking into creating a KZbin channel. I found it to not be my expertise. I’ve paid a lot for different apps however not knowing the entire time I have movie app on my iPhone. Thank you for explaining this step by step.

[@nattyfatty5930]

Aww he seems so sweet

[@andrewgoldfish]

I’m making videos again after a break and this helped a lot figuring out how to just use my new iPhone.

[@blaincarson8645]

Can we talk about you editing my short videos while I watch and learn that way over Zoom?

[@BarbaraAnnBurns-pd9im]

70 yr old making educational videos on iPhone with I movie. Ken burns effect is sometimes good. Can’t find where to turn it off for certain clips. Don’t learn very easily from videos, but you are helpful. Do I have to buy a new computer? Mine won’t even do I Movie.

[@jordanmorrison]

It's definitely harder on older computers. you can shut it off in the settings by tapping on it

[@giorgiomarinoni4991]

Fantastic! Great video, very clear explanation even if I'm Italian. Thank you, I will follow you on the other videos for learning more!

[@elsenorjones9117]

Thanks man! You explained it so well. Could you do a video on how to add music in the background? That’ll be helpful.

[@jordanmorrison]

Will do, thanks!

[@JBNBuilds]

Great video, it helped me with my 1st video. I would love to see how you have the sound of the video, but the image of something else, so you can see what I am speaking about, rather than the image added in afterwards.

[@jordanmorrison]

What you are describing sounds like "b-roll". Simply upload the photo from your "photos" app to iMovie. use the "arrows" setting and you can adjust the image however you need to on the screen as a second layer on top of your video

[@robbishop7116]

This was the first video I watched to learn to use iMovie and it was PERFECT. You have a great voice for helping beginners, and covered the perfect amount of material.

[@jordanmorrison]

Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback Rob

[@dailodai9586]

[@kiproth6749]

Your quite good at teaching!!! Simple, helpful and well done! Thank you.

[@jordanmorrison]

Thanks! Glad you got some good tips out of this

[@brandonthibodeau8759]

Great video, thank you. How would I add text to the beginning prior to the actual video?

[@daisyhugs2024]

So helpful😊thank you !

[@jordanmorrison]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions

[@lisawoodward1892]

Very helpful video! Thank you! BUT-you should be small and what you’re showing us should be bigger. Just a suggestion, so we can see what you’re teaching us better. 🤷‍♀️ Great content, though! 🙌🏻

[@patjones9568]

How do I simply add one clip to the end of my first clip?

[@erinsaraf8153]

Great video! Is there a way to add text to middle of a video ??Ty!

[@dzyinaz]

Is it possible to add photos from Google photos or facebook ? How to do that, please; and thank you

[@Carriebeamer-austintxrealtor]

I am interested in one-one learning and editing. Can you share a few details please. I am in Austin, Tx too

[@jordanmorrison]

[@jordanmorrison]

[@stevec2940]

The “Ken burns” effect is driving me mad. How do I “fit” all my photos to make it a smooth stable video? Thanks.

[@jordanmorrison]

You can click and remove it. Let me know if you need more help

[@jdeleon5816]

great video helped me a ton

[@isaiasmarzuca8264]

is this good for youtube & IG videos?

[@adebowalejimoh110]

What a simple-to-understand video, its cool. How do i replace the audio with another one in the video.

[@jordanmorrison]

I have a video coming up soon to answer that question! Simple fix! pretty much you can drag and drop it. More on that soon!

[@TruthbyM]

Thank u so much but when saving are there like size options ? I noticed after saving my video is small and cropped out. Kindly assist on that

[@FonzJourney]

Thank you for your vedio very informative helps me a lot

[@LanaSings]

Well done!

[@jordanmorrison]

Feel free to leave a comment here and I'll get back to you!

[@SiuCristianoRonaldofan]

Thank you 💙 you are goong to be a great youtuber 👍👍mark my word

[@jesussavesnyc]

Is there a way I can upload a iMovie video straight to KZbin with out saving it to my camera roll? The youtube app doesn’t appear on my imovie option…I have a iPhone 13 that I use to make my music videos

[@jordanmorrison]

As far as i am aware of thus far, that option is limited to the desktop version

[@powerfulpredications7878]

great work

[@rajansscenevlogs]

Informative tips, thanks

[@benlcr7784]

How to add bgm using this app?

[@Mikeek7]

Thanks!

[@stratosbrass]

Great Jordan …. Do you have a video showing transparent buttons ie Subscribe …thanks

[@jordanmorrison]

Hey Stratos Brass! I'm in the process of making that video yes!!

[@beccasflyingrainbow7886]

Amazing 🤩

[@Beyondsixty]

I have a Ch. On KZbin called beyond sixty, I’m very new to editing and I want to be able to speed up sections of my makeup videos so there not to long.

[@jordanmorrison]

That's great! there should be a speed button that looks like a car speedometer. That'll help you if you want them to go faster

[@miahallgren]

Can you help me out? I’m so annoyed that the format on the video changes… I recorded the video on my iPhone vertical (just as you) but when I export the video it turns out as a smaller clip, as a square. I can see yours do the same?

[@jordanmorrison]

Yep!! Super annoying!! You can do it on Mac here: How to Edit Portrait Video in iMovie 2022 (Beginners Guide) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TFpYh6pdhpmMU If you need to figure it out to edit vertical on iPhone lemme know and I’ll make a video on that

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

If you created the movie on an iPad can you import it into an iMAC iMovie? Can seem to figure that out?

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Thanks for an excellent video!

[@jordanmorrison]

Glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to reach out for any questions too

[@danwalperwalper]

I figured out how to add background music to my iPhone video using iMovie but then when I download it back to my photo album the video size is much smaller than the original video without the music. How do I maintain the video size after adding the music and downloading it to save?

[@eduardnecsoiu7125]

I think even him not know that.... Fro that I'm here to find out how to keem my size ...

[@BevSantini]

Beginner here. When you create a movie with photos, how do you rearrange positions on the timeline? Say I want to move the 3rd clip to the 2nd position. Thx

[@jordanmorrison]

You can simply grab it and drag it over

[@devienstoimeme]

Hi Jordan, Thanks for your excellent video. I have a big problem with a 5 mn cut all done on iMovie on iPhone 11 pro, and there is no way for me to export it anywhere, not even in my photos of my iPhone. When I push « transfert » button : « Some of your videos are beeing charged from the cloud… and I wait, and I can see properly my video on iMovie… but blocked ! No way to take it out from iMovie… Could you help please ? I will pay… Please, I am 65, and working on a platform 2.0 that could change my life. A bit desperate. Tell me please. Take care. Jacques Lauzel from France. 🙏

[@jordanmorrison]

Hi! It sounds like you somehow delete video clip(s) in the "photos" app before finishing your video edit. Make sure all of your clips you are using to make the video stay in your photos app while you work on your video all the way until when you're done

[@devienstoimeme]

@@jordanmorrison Merci so much Jordan : feeling you were right, I went to photos, and only saw 1 button speaking of videos & photos « auto lecture photos/vidéos » : The buton is unfortunately « on »… So I put it « off & on » to try… And I have not checked : so I go checking. Take good care of you. Jacques

[@devienstoimeme]

@@jordanmorrison In fact I was missing stockage (1.5 %) : so I almost put away everything… and have now 30 % : but it is the same : first « Some videos are beeing charged from the Cloud »… then « Some of your videos are missing, or delete : do you want them back ? », and I say « yes »… and nothing

[@Rinarenee0627]

It sucks bc after I save it to take a break and go back on the Home Screen it won’t let me tap it to edit it

[@jordanmorrison]

I haven’t heard of that yet…the normal thought process that I would have is the phone is having trouble loading your project due to having a lot of memory, you have a lot of apps open and need to close them, etc… If all else fails, save what you have into your photos app, turn your phone battery off and back on and see if that may help. If that doesn’t work, delete the app and reinstall it

[@Engstreet]

Does it always have to be photos? Can’t it be a pdf as well? If so, how???!

[@jordanmorrison]

I’m assuming you mean as the 2nd layer on top of the main video portion?? If so, technically yes I believe you can upload pdf’s but it’s going to be a headache of a process. To be completely honest I wouldnt try that with a phone. My recommendation would be to take a screenshot of the pdf you are trying to use and crop out what you don’t want on it. From there, upload the pdf screenshot as a photo to your project

[@ChoppersChingon]

How about a title in the beginning of the video?

[@jordanmorrison]

Two options, Download a graphic you make for free on canva or use the "Text" option in imovie

[@Roadtripperandbeyond]

Super nice…

[@jordanmorrison]

Thank you!

[@goforitworld-sevenkeystosu2148]

Is there a way to add ending credits that have more text than just an ending title? Oh, I got it... through Canva!

[@jordanmorrison]

You can do it with multiple text layers in iMovie or a design app. Yessir!

[@txjen]

How can I create my videos in portrait mode rather than landscape with black borders?

[@jordanmorrison]

Great Question. I covered that in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3TFpYh6pdhpmMU Let me know if you have any more questions after that!

[@txjen]

@@jordanmorrison thanks!

[@BlackPeerama]

Cool 😎

[@jordanmorrison]

Thank you

[@marigold3687]

How would I combine two movies in iMovie on iPhone?

[@jordanmorrison]

Export one movie as a video after finishing basic edits and import that as a video clip into the other project

[@thulakshanaliyanage4463]

Can we add a logo to this video?

[@jordanmorrison]

Yes! Just need to save it to the camera roll just like the videos

[@SamiSamP]

Thank you for this, how can I see waveform on the iphone for imovie?

[@jordanmorrison]

This is harder to do but find the "Detach Audio" setting and you can bring that out into your view. Keep in mind though, you will be separating it from the video clip so make sure you don't move it a lot. It'll make you pull your hair out on iphone because it can be touchy

[@Snowpod27]

For some reason, I am not able to click on a transition to change it. Yet, If I click on a clip, and hit the Edit button, 3 little boxes show up, but they are greyed out. Would like to change a star transition but there aren't any options. What do you suggest?

[@michelegutman4695]

i have the same issue

[@blaincarson8645]

still need your help. Are you still working in editing assistance?

[@Mavicomax]

Thank you for this video. How do you trim your music with iMovie?

[@jordanmorrison]

Trimming music works the same as trimming your video clips. Add it into the timeline and from there you can tap and hold the ends and drag it to the desired spot. OR find the "scissors" tool and cut it at the section you need it cut at

[@MM-rd7jm]

The text editing options that you claim will appear after a double click on the text, or the ones that appear on the bottom bar, simply do not appear for me at all. From what I can tell, iMovie blows.

[@purv.9245]

My pictures and videos don’t always fit on the screen. I constantly have to pan from top to bottom to get the full picture. Can you show us how to change that so I don’t need to do that?

[@jordanmorrison]

Click on the photo so it highlights yellow. On the right side next to the “help” question mark, below that there’s a 4 direction arrows symbol. Tap that, it should say “drag to position, pinch to resize” use one finger to drag that around the screen, use two fingers to make your photo smaller or bigger

[@rafaelrealistictalk6558]

Great video, I would prefer to see the instruction larger than your face

[@jordanmorrison]

Noted! Thanks for the feedback

[@45andALIVE]

Nevermind just got your email

[@theswipingmapper]

What editing software do you personally use for your videos?

[@jordanmorrison]

Personally I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X

[@Lil_clip5]

Cap

[@lifeskills-technicaltutori9589]

This is very basic! I wasted time watching the video. 😒

[@jordanmorrison]

I get that! Appreciate the feedback. This is the very basic overview.

[@cameragirl5554]

When I go to upload it to youtube, that one is not available on my iphone - I see airdrop, facebook, instagram, Outlook, whatsapp, messages but no KZbin. Do you know how I can get that to be an option?

[@RandyReviews1990]

try exporting to your camera roll then going to KZbin find the video and upload i don't think KZbin is an option that's the way i do it!

[@45andALIVE]

Can I message you about opening a YT, IG and TT page?!

[@louisachan1241]

There is no save video on my latest iPhone 13, how can I save the video?

[@krystalestrella9098]
