This was extremely insightful, thank you so much!! I've been editing on iMovie on my phone for the past few years and I'm now ready to dabble on Mac

[@lessiechester]

I appreciated the detailed video.

[@retroplannerco]

Thank you so much for this! As a newbie, I had no idea where to begin. I followed along as I worked and by the end of your tutorial, I had finished my first project. 😁

[@joeyrhorror]

It would be nice to see the actual outcome of the editing in the moments you edit them so I could get some kind of semblance of what you are explaining.

[@johnp-v2g]

well done!!thank you!!helps a lot!

[@AbeRogland]

The best Beginners Guide to IMovie I've seen. However, its fast so Kayla can include the features, I watched it twice. The 2nd time I used the PAUSE button and then wrote the feature she just explained into my note Pad. If confused I backspaced and played it again. You can slide the arrow below to any part of the presentation. She speaks fast but she clearly explains each feature. KAYKA you mentioned I could ask a question. Unless I missed it: When you add music, voice over, etc to you strip what do you do to the original audio on the strip to mute it? IE Original music.or voice over. How can you mute the strip to insert your feature. Great great video. I subscribed & look forward to your next lesson.

[@enas6982]

Thank you so much, the video is awesome! and extremely helpful

[@deezee151]

I was able to edit an hour and a half video down to 35 minutes. I was able to move clips around, add titles and transitions, all thanks to your very clear instructions. This is my first time trying to do anything like this. Thank you so much!

[@PJsAllDayFR]

Thank you for the very clear and understandable tutorial about iMovie. Much appreciated!

[@HarleyBob957]

Thanks for this tutorial. I've watched several beginner's tutorials on iMovie, I feel I got the most out of your's. You took your time and were very clear on explaining the different actions of editing, and how the actions were executed. Thanks again.

[@RZpersonal77]

Thank you so much. This is what I’ve been looking for. You helped me figure out how to make the clips bigger so I can see what I want to cut out. I’ve been looking for this for a couple of days now and in all the other videos they never show you this part, thank you for showing this part. Really appreciate it. Take care and have a nice day. 😊❤

[@nisagomez4366]

Nice video. I learned a lot. 🙏 - one note. you refer to handles as toggles in the video. If it slides it's a handle. if it turns on and off it is a toggle. Thanks!

[@deanniejanowitz5560]

Excellent tutorial! I learned a lot more than from other videos on iMovie! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@xploradora8099]

This has been the best newbie iMovie tutorial I’ve watched. So many tips, I didn’t know. Thanks

[@pjsp605]

Hi Kayla, great video. My son wants is passionate about having a kids KZbin channel and I am learning iMovie for the first time. Your video is very helpful.

[@Philipk65]

Brilliant break down and tutorial on iMovie, thank you.

[@larryeber]

Thank you for providing an excellent overview of iMovie

[@MsLuminous]

Very well explained!!

[@patrickgiacomini8155]

Very Professional, while still well explained and easy to follow.

[@sabinaelsaastolfi]

Kayla, thank you so much for this tutorial, that is amazing!

[@Patrick462]

Great overview, very helpful as I'm just restarting doing some iMovie! The explanation of keyframes on the second video was mind-blowing!

[@AntGeezer]

Excellent video tutorial. Thanks for taking the time 👍

[@kelseymarie523]

this was so helpful as a refresher or beginner video for editing on iMovie! you highlighted the most used/important functions and gave really helpful shortcuts and explanations to the demonstration of each tool. I will come back to this again and again I'm sure!

[@StitchesbySharonH]

This is so helpful. I know the basics, but couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out how to do Picture in Picture thing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😊💜

[@andrewgoldfish]

Thanks for the guide. I started making videos after a break but wanted to do everything on my phone

[@arokkiadoss405]

Thank you very much. You have explained in detail. and it is very helpful for me.

[@raymondmcglinchey2341]

Great Job !

[@jaynair2942]

Thanks..i've learned many new things that i's unaware of till date..!

[@gracekelley2907]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been thinking about starting a channel and now I feel pretty confident that I can do it! I just gotta finish my first two scripts.

[@gerardreij3940]

Excellent work 😀

[@FITWITHBRONTE]

This was so helpful, exactly what I needed, thank you so much girl. Would love to see more of these.

[@Mckenzie977]

Great Video outlining all the features of this app! Thanks so much.

[@missannebaron]

Thank you this was very helpful!

[@AntisocialTrashman]

Hi....first off, I love your accent. Ok, so a question about background audio/music. Lets say you are filming a video at the gym and you can't use the music the gym is playing in your video but you still need certain audio like yourself talking to the camera. Does imovie do a good job of cutting out that backround music or do you need more advanced software? If so, what domyou recommend? I'm trying to avoid too many voice overs. Thanks, great video!

[@AbeRogland]

Terrific- Can you import 2 or 3 videos and cut and paste them and also move sections around to the first strip to create one long video. Thanks

[@TJLovering]

Thanks, that was the ideal tutorial for me.

[@simonf2220]

Great video, really helpful. Thanks for posting.

[@heshamaskar67]

Great video Kayla, really useful, thank you 🙏 ……

[@pammurphyaz]

Thanks!

[@Mntchoco.5]

thank you this was very helpful!!

[@razaurrahman8097]

Helpful video; THanks Dear!🙂

[@mayracatalan3353]

Great video!!!

[@sayanjitb]

at 5:22 how did you edit this zoomed in box at bottom right corner? Plz make a separate video on such thing.

[@Eternal-Student]

This is so helpful thank you! I just started using iMovie last week to make videos of my products. I’m pleased that at 64 I managed it pretty well. I should have watched this first though! I now have answers to all my questions, like “who the hell is Ken Burns?” 😂 I can come back to this now to improve. You are a fab teacher!

[@cupcake32009]

Such a good video. It has helped alot. Thank you!

[@thewisdomskin]

thank you for the tutorial! How do you export the video?

[@Woman-Midlife-Career-Change]

wow this was awesome thanks

[@Got2LoveWillow]

Awesome video thank you very helpful:)

[@sehastar]

Love your videos ❤

[@yusaletv]

Once you save your video to files, what do you do in order to start a NEW project & start editing another video? If that makes sense. Just erase everything? Or how can you get started to edit another video?

[@happyhippo1710]

Where do you get the Subscribe title clip from? Is it on iMovie?

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

good video, should have got more views. the video is not too long for the things told in it. gg

[@vestel777]

Question?? How does one edit out commercials from video clips??

[@Philipk65]

Are you recording videos from KZbin? If so naughty of you lol 😂. The way to get rid of ads is to use the brave browser.

[@vestel777]

@@Philipk65Well there are some old NWA Wrestling from the early 80’s (Jim Crockett Promotions) videos on KZbin that I’ve saved a couple of years ago to External Hard Drives that has old 80’s commercials that I would love to edit out of these videos. The second reason why I want to do this is for the practice on how to edit video. The third reason is I want to take these Wrestling videos that are in 480p and run it through Topaz Video AI and upscale them to either 4K and or 8K.

[@yusaletv]

I want to start posting on KZbin. I could use my phone to record. Especially because I will be barley starting off, so there isn’t any need to start all professional. But also because I can’t afford a camera right now… but I have full storage on my phone. So that has stopped me from starting. But I did think of something… I could maybe buy a used phone (cause it’s cheaper), then I will not sign into iCloud (because then that phone will have full storage as well). So don’t sign into iCloud right…And then I want to use my Mac to edit the videos. Okay, but how would I transfer the videos (on the phone that isn’t signed into iCloud) onto my Mac, so that I could edit them? So sorry for this long explanation. But if you happen to know or maybe have a solution to this, that would mean so much!!! Thank you!!

[@allthingsjasmine]

Is there a way to put more than 1 picture over your video at the same time?

[@Patrick462]

Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIGni4qQn9BkjpI This is from Mac Video Magic, "Make iMovie Even More Powerful With This One Simple Trick!" (Pre-rendering to mimic having >2 video tracks). The basic idea it to setup the video with 1 picture over your video. Then render that out to a file (using File > Share or the weird box-with-an-arrow-pointing-up on the upper right). Then start a new project, and use that file as input (it will take up only the video track). Then add your second picture over the rendered video you just exported-then-imported.

[@Lou-np3ff]

What MacBook are you using?

[@gyver471]

How do you pause one video while keep playing on another one like a reaction video?

[@TiffanysTVscape]

Can iMovie create automated captions? If not, what's the easiest way you would suggest to add captions?

[@SimranSabrina]

Serious question, where is the magnifying glass on Mac? Where you can move the frame around?

[@Patrick462]

I'm not sure what you're referring to - is there a time in the video where there's a magnifying glass?

[@alineordman1746]

my imovie won't let me drag and drop my video and it doesn't give me the option to import it any way

[@lauraariassanchez8303]

Drag and Drop stops working on mi Macbook pro m1 pro, has it happened to you too? thanks

[@atn-ou2lz]

close but no cigar... neither cut nor clip was shown. We don't know how to clip, but when we finally do learn, we will know the shortcut... now on to the fun stuff

[@emiledae]

is it just me that's having issues with iMovie? It's become unusable.

[@miriamcousin]

Yes! I’ve been having so many issues lately ever since updating my Mac. Like now I can’t drag and drop for some reason

[@ethelarbon6628]

hello Pretty Wonderful Kayla and Family. Whatever happen you know ❤,,,❤,,,❤,,,
