How can I access that more in depth iMovie training that you made reference to at the end of your video?

[@littlemissgamergal2586]

Im in need of help, I saved a video and exported it in my trial version of iMovie. I have just bought the super version of iMovie and I want to save and export that video with my newly bought official iMovie. I tried to open the video in my new version but it still has the watermark on the video! Is there anyway I can get rid of the watermark without having to create and edit my video all over again ??

[@shortyk8540]

I have imovie on mobile, so does it still work?

[@majaisakszon1475]

What are the video formats imovie supports?

[@comedykeith4592]

That will be enough for me thanks.

[@ionamorris9648]

I looked all over the internet for someone who could explain iMovie clearly, with knowledge and this is the guy! He's calm, easy to listen to. I can't wait to do the follow up training.

[@abbyweichman444]

This is seriously the best tutorial I have watched in a long time. Thank you!

[@msjoysplace]

This was an excellent beginner overview! Enough to get you started and see possibilities but not so much as to overwhelm. Good job!

[@AlexiaRoseFit]

This tutorial was PERFECTLY DONE. Went at the perfect pace, explained every detail and clarified all the controls. Best tutorial out there. Thank you for doing this!!!

[@alexis5784]

Amazing tutorial! I feel equipped to get started editing. So glad I took 18 minutes to learn from you before starting. Saved me tons of time. Thank you!!

[@juliedoran2434]

For all the people that gave a thumbs down - perhaps it was their search parameters that didn't deliver for them, rather than the video! Fantastic walk-through. Logical sequence. What an amazing resource. Spent the day filming videos for a friend who is about to launch her product and now she has commissioned me to put the tutorial together. I DID tell her I've never done that before - but from this training, I sure am feeling a hell of a lot more confident than I did 20minutes ago before watching! Thanks :)

Finally! Great video, clear, concise, love that circle pointer so I know where to look. Thank you!

[@jesseclarke95]

Mate this was brilliant. I’ve just started my KZbin channel, been watching a lot of beginner tutorials and this has been the best by far. Thanks a lot.

[@twizzle1952]

Excellent tutorial. I’m a complete novice with iMovie and following your instructions I’ve just completed my first project. I have dozens of old mini DV tapes of my grandchildren which I’ve always wanted to put on my MacBook to edit and put onto disk and your tutorial has enabled me to start doing that. Many thanks..

[@newlifetoday21]

This is an outstanding tutorial. Quality instruction. Elements are explained clearly with no tech jargon. This guy really gets the job done.

[@itsallaboutAustinBasis]

You are so patient and knowledgeable! About 2 years ago my life went from being an athlete, very fit, to a person that can’t barely moves and has to stay 100 % de time at home. I lost contact with the world. But recently I discovered I like to make video. So I bought a Mac Pro. I want to learn every thing about Imelda’s and Final Cut pro

[@johnmcallister6781]

Thank you very much for producing this, it is exactly what I needed to get going with iMovie

[@dr.karenpascoe]

I keep coming back to this video. It gives me confidence that I can do this even though I forget how to edit all the time (since I use iMovie it so infrequently).. Thank you a million times over for this video.

[@devorahsarah4423]

This is fantastic! I have watched other beginner iMovie tutorials, and yours is by far the best. I appreciate that you speak slowly, you explain everything clearly, and you are thorough. Thank you very much!

[@carlospatino9427]

I just wanted to say thank you for your video mate. I had a project that I needed to hand in this week for my football (soccer) coach, Level 2 course, and never in my life had I made a video. In literally just a couple of goes watching your tutorial I got the hang of it and produced, if I don't say so myself, quite the tactical video. Thank you once again, brilliant

[@thedancingdog2160]

This was exactly what I was hoping to find. Thank you.

[@lawrenceflowers2680]

I’m a teacher and I had a class video to put together I didn’t know anything about iMovie thanks to your tutorial buddy my students were very happy to see their class project come to life. I will definitely watch the other videos so I can keep learning more thanks 🙏 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I began this day knowing next-to-nothing about video editing. I have a loooooong way to go, but I feel that between my lunch break and the early afternoon, I've already learned enough to be dangerous. Thank you so much for this.

This was AWESOME!! Thank you for such an easy-to-follow tutorial full of vital info for a beginner. Excellent!

[@bobbylee8480]

That was incredible. Just bought a Go Pro 8 a few months ago to shoot my mountain biking videos and iMovie will be perfect for my editing purposes. I don't need a "pro" editing software, just something where I can combine, clip, and add simple titles and backgrounds to my videos. The software that Go Pro offers is so cumbersome and slow. Thank you for the short but precise explanations of everything, and in just enough detail. The "I", "O", "E", "Command -", and "Command Z" options I would have never found otherwise. If I need more bells and whistles later, I'll find your other longer tutorial.

[@eduardomartinez7227]

great job on this tutorial. I felt confident to start editing right away. Just the basics - best way to start!
