Think Media PERFECT !! You guys are Top Level

[@bwsgarage]

I've made movies using IMovie, using go pro. It takes Hours to upload it to KZbin. I mean 12 hrs! Without editing, taking the file directly from the go pro card it takes less than 15 mins to load. The pitfall, cant edit and splice clips. HELP

[@LuckyNemo03]

Dude did not lie when he said “complete” guide. Great teacher right there. Can’t imagine the work to organize an hour long video to this level.

Chasing Obstacles right I’ve used a lot of these in iPhone because I hated using iMovie in Mac but now I know it’s way better to use iMovie in mac

[@Mindfultranslations]

a moment ? this guy has shared a whole semesters worth of film editing tips, functions, and alternatives. Simply- the young man is good. I intend to watch this video repeatedly ... cuz every time I watched it ..I found there was always something my mind just didn't catch perfectly. that's just me. IF you guys have a quick learner brain ? well bless your little hearts. ♥️

[@letitiastenning102]

I'm a complete newbie and have just started my first iMovie project - your video is awesome! So clear and very thorough, easy to understand and paced just right for this non-techie. Huge thank you for your expertise and for your time in putting this together 😍

I just watched your entire video and took notes and am planning out my first project- which I will attempt tomorrow. Thank you SO much for that in depth tutorial! It was incredibly useful and informative.

[@mychoicetaken]

Spent almost 2 years dabbling in iMovie not really knowing what I was doing and hour and a half watching this video I have got a much better grasp on it. Found this really helpful and unlike others wasn't dozing off while following along on MBP doing as I watching on iPhone.

Anybody else not read this don’t get yourself a Mac computer for editing or anything to do with KZbin it’s pretty useless I’ve bought one but I wish I didn’t I just will chuck it in the bin but this guy is really good I think he’s very commendable and I’m not one of those people would Chapelway comments very easily thank you much appreciated to this guy very clear not full of the usual bullshit you see on KZbin
