Great video, thanks for the heads up 👊

This was super helpful, thank you!

[@hussainfurniturewala3156]

I need to create a video for an important school assignment. I'm in my senior year and I need to showcase complex and movie editing features. What is the best software for me to use? I can purchase software with a 30-day trial as I won't be needing it for longer but I need to know the best software where I can showcase different complex features of video editing in my video. Which software should I go with?

[@aLamgo.]

Thanks for the information👍

How do i get imovie on windows 10

[@augustogalindo8687]

I remember when I first got a Mac, I felt iMovie was too difficult and preferred to use the iPad version, when I learnt it, I felt the iPad version was limited, and when I got FCP, I struggled at the beginning and usually went to iMovie, but when I learnt it, I felt iMovie was limited, and now I realize the iPad and iPhone app is too basic 😅

[@editorskeys]

haha that's always the problem, it's very hard to go back once you start on a new one.

[@dwoodog]

OMFG!!! that imovie exporting in 4K tip by making sure your first clip is 4K is like gold. Thank you.

[@editorskeys]

Right?! A lot of people miss that out! Glad you enjoyed it

[@james11h]

If you don’t know if you need Final Cut or not, you’re probably good with iMovie :)

[@YourDriverMike]

I've uploaded 450+ videos to KZbin using iMovie over 3.5 years, it's just about time for an upgrade!

[@editorskeys]

Hey Mike, enjoy! I think you'll like FCPX

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Really helpful video, thank you, I’ve been using iMovie for 2 years and I’m ready to take my KZbin channel and editing to the next level, so will be definitely upgrading to Final Cut Pro. Thanks again.

[@editorskeys]

You can do it! You're gonna love FCPX!

[@RobertGaron]

How is it going so far for you?

[@raeganbutterfly08]

Do you like it? Cause I buying with my stimulus. 😭😂

[@notisavillarrealg]

you actually can keyframe in iMovie, though not to the same extent as in fcpx

[@BajetBest]

The first tip is awesome. Never realise that imovie can do 4k as well.

[@editorskeys]

Yes it's pretty good for some free software!

[@RobertGaron]

Agreed and now I know why it didn't work for me when I filmed in 4k, but iMovie didn't process the finished version in 4k. Darn intro image! LOL!

[@anonymousrulz]

It can do 4K but cant do 60FPS

[@evantso]

@@anonymousrulz It can actually. I recorded myself in 4K 60 Fps Apple Pro Res and it does it all.

[@vilmasclosett]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Pro as I feel I have outgrown iMovie. This was super helpful x

[@editorskeys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

I have been doing video editing for my KZbin tutorial channel on iMovie for almost 7 years now. Now I am feeling that I am getting restricted and I need something more. This is exactly the video I needed. Thanks. As you said, for a beginner iMovie is a great tool to become familiar with editing.

[@editorskeys]

Great to hear!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Great video. I've been using imovie for my channel for over a year. After watching your pros and cons I'm convinced to stay with imovie for the time being. I've discovered several work arounds that you mention as limitation, (adding multiple screen effects to one clip) e.g. blue screen and picture in picture. Also found you can make multiple changes in an audio track. Hover over the audio line and press the option key it will but a marker add several and the audio can be moved between the markers. Great content thank you, subscribed.

[@myztartupjourney6772]

Sounds to me like you should be making a video about it

[@nojwop]

There is the option / workaround to create titles etc. in keynote and either export those as movies / png / tiff for import to iMovie to enhance your titles options. Keynote will even export movies in 4K.

[@ArneHulstein]

I used Final Cut Pro X for a year, then had to go back to iMovie because I no longer had access to the account that had the license for it. I did find that it was relatively easy to step back, though you find yourself looking for ways to compensate the video tracks etc. As I am doing more explainer videos and cycling videos, I am now considering taking the plunge and buying it myself. I think the improved workflow is probably worth the money just in time savings.

[@MemeControlyt]

You can fix the layer problem on I Movie by first getting on with 2 screens downloading it into one and placeing it on 2 more

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Nice concise video. I’ve been using iMovie for years, and about hit the limit. Been playing with free trail of FCPX. Steep learning curve. For my needs I find iMovie works best for me as I only have a small KZbin channel. But I like the tools of final cut.

[@editorskeys]

Hey Pete, yes iMovie is great. I use FCPX mainly and when I went back in to film a new turorial series this week, I realised just how good it is, so many featues! The new playlist for iMovie started yesterday, I'm sure you'll know everything I'll teach in it, but might be the odd trick as we go along; kzbin.info/aero/PLUfBgTurvFKpyn2KUFlidQ9QDRlvApUvl

[@lucianclayton]

Lol a year ago I made a video using iMovie and I needed to add 4 tracks but iMovie can’t do that so I put on one of the tracks and downloaded the project then put it on another project to put on another track and so on until I added all my tracks.

[@JosueMartinez-wd3yu]

Got both programs but have not even dive into any of them. Thanks to the great advice, will start iMovie first then hope to learn more and move on to final cut. Thanks for the advice.

[@editorskeys]

Thanks for the comment, yes I hope you enjoy using both of these programs. Let us know how you get on

[@Professionalmoochers]

I’ve just started dabbling in KZbin and iMovie is treating me well 😁

[@ABCsofAnaesthesia]

Great summary! Thanks!

[@editorskeys]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rbrown2895]

I’ve used iMovie for my KZbin videos but just got a MacBook Pro which had an educational promotion which included FCPro. I’m going to start learning how to use it. Thanks for the tips!!

[@editorskeys]

Thanks for sharing! I think you're really gonna love Final Cut... it takes some getting used to, but it pays off.

[@RogueRail]

In the older version of iMovie, you used to control the aspect ratio and transition of the text. In iMovie 10, you can’t. iMovie 10 is okay but not as good as its previous version. I currently have a new MacBook with extremely limited space. As much as I want to get Final Cut, my Mac’s space is almost really low because of moving my iMovie projects from my old Mac and installing Adobe After Effects. I wish we could be able to change the SSD for the new MacBooks. Sadly we can’t...

[@RogueRail]

@Nich do-in stuff Thank you for the advice. In fact, I've already moved my iMovie Library into an external drive. Now that you mentioned it, I told dad about my limited space, and he told me I should try external SSDs. You know what apple should do for future Macs? They should put some kind of slot for the internal SSD on the motherboard, that way we have a way to change our SSDs

[@NerdboyKarim]

yeah i've been using imovie for ages now, i thought maybe its time to upgrade, so i went to go onto the appstore and instantly shut the app store after seening that price.

[@imaginaryviews]

Lol i just started using iMovie (newbie on yt) and then a friend of mine suggested the final cut pro and when I saw the price! Well, I close my eyes and went back to iMovie 🤣🤣😎.

[@chamarioc]

😂😂😂😂

[@MommywithaCause]

Lolll these comments!!

[@carlosprovyrivera8522]

Great video!! I have not yet graduate to using FCP but I have been able to get around some of the iMovie limitations that you mention albeit for non-professional video by using some work arounds. For example: 1) additional title transitions can easily be created in Keynote using a transparent background and animations and imported into your iMovie project. 2) I can export a movie from iMovie bring it into Photos and crop into a different size e.g., square and c) for layering I just export my 2-layer video in pro res format and reimport back into iMovie and add another layer. I recognize size that these are just simple workarounds and I'm sure there are others but it is a 'poor mans' way of doing AMATEUR videos without the expense of FCP. IMHO

[@JODIMMOSLEY]

Simple and easy to understand. Very good review. Thank you! ✨

[@editorskeys]

Thanks for watching jodi! You're welcome

[@lawofaverages5373]

Great video. If only Imovie would allow imports of transitions, titles etc there would be little need for Final Cut Pro. Especially with Keynote in the mix you can mix and add just about anything.

[@editorskeys]

Thank you!

[@Enhancement_Talent]

@2:23 "In simp terms...", I guess this video was made for me.

Thanks Carey! Yes iMovie can do so much! Thanks for the sub too!

[@treasherchest709]

I found this to be very helpful. I'd love to see options for Davinci Resolve vs Final Cut !

[@editorskeys]

You got it! Coming soon!

[@messyfilms6325]

Unless you’re amazing at color grading then go with fcpx, unless you shoot with a BM and get divinci for free.

[@pdiz]

Sure, only two video tracks in iMovie, but... just export the first one as a movie file and reimport, and tada, you can add another video layer to it! Hey, poor people learn to get creative.

[@lepee5830]

Good video. Clear explanations.

[@editorskeys]

Thanks so much!

[@MedSchoolGirl]

This video was really helpful! I’m a student and there’s a new bundle with Apple where it’s $200 for all 5 pro apps including final cut. I’m a very new KZbinr, had a gaming channel w/ no editing prior and recently switched it, I wanted to capitalize on that deal but this made me realize that I really do need to start with iMovie. Since I am very new there’s no need to feel discouraged with how hard something is. And I guess I’ll just hope the deal stays, I’m going to med school so I’ll be a student for a long while haha.

So I do KZbin and don’t really have to edit that much of my videos bc of the fact I kinda edit them on the fly so is making the upgrade really worth it?

[@theinquisitive4803]

An extremely informative video.

[@editorskeys]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garysrooter1221]

Thank you for the video, I do use iMovie and I absolutely love it for its simplicity. I’ve been a music producer for almost 20 years and one thing I learned is that simple is always better. Whether it’s simple with editing, or music, or video, simplicity is key. When things are simple, the artist can focus on being artistic and creative - it allows the mind to flow. When things get technical it just wears down the brain and can be seen in that persons work... I do have to admit that iMovie limits you to many things like for example something as simple as the last fade-out, I want to be able to control the length of it to adjust to the feel of the music but I simply cannot do that, however, with everything in life there is a give and take. Have you used adobe premier by chance? How would you compare that to Final Cut Pro?

[@hemalmehta6678]

Very True and deep. I totally agree and folllow this always. Thanks

[@KungfuReview]

Great info I’m still debating. My entire channel so far are all from iMovie. I learned I can layer with iMovie...but I have to export first and if I want to add another video or affect I would keep exporting and bring it back into a new project. Hope I explained that clearly. It’s a pain but it’s still free 😆

[@editorskeys]

Hey Eric, yes I would download the FCPX trial and have a play with it. If you're happy with iMovie and it's working well I'd stick with that.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I am enjoying iMovie as I learn editing and grow my channel. But, the one concern I have is that my laptop slows considerably if I don't delete footage and movies. I bought a MacBook Pro with 1TB and an M1 because my Mac started freezing, but now the laptop does it, just taking longer to happen. Maybe I'm not clearing out all or enough of the duplicate files? If I leave the program and restart it seems to work much better for a bit. I'm wondering if Final Cut would be better or worse in this regard?

[@coleaceret]

I've been editing on imovie for well over a year now and thinking about upgrading soon to final cut pro, might have to do it soon!

Hey Cole, Take the leap! if you have any questions or issues feel free to ask and we'll give you help!

[@NomadicDmitry]

I've been going back and forth. Love iMovie for the simplicity. Final Cut has too much options sometimes and that is confusing :) But definitely Final Cut Pro is more powerful, there is no doubt.

Thank you - that's so helpful! Thinking about transitioning to Final Cut Pro after using iMovie for 1.5 years.

[@editorskeys]

Fantastic! Let me know how you get on if you upgrade.

[@geraldillo]

Good video! I've been using imovie for quite a while now but I'm thinking about buying final cut pro, especially because nowadays the program is much more affordable. In my opinion the first versions of imovie had much more options; you could also make 4:3 ratio movies and they had much more film effects and extended audio editing capabilities. The downside was that in the older versions the editing was "non reversible" and the redering happened during the editing process, which made the process quite slow. For me the earlier versions felt also much more intuitive to use. and seems to me that with every new version of imovie, Apple tries to change all keyboard commands.

[@DirtFishMish]

Very helpful and informative video. iMovie user here that's exploring her options. Cheers!

[@eduardorojo9628]

Hi! Tanks a lot for the video! I had a question regarding amount of space in the hard drive you use with every program. I have the impression that Imovie tends to use a lot of space of your hard rive and you can't really get rid of the material you out in the program very easily. And it seems to me, that is not possible to put that material in an external hard drive and work with it in order to save space in your computer. Is ist possible Tod do that with Final Cut? I would be very grateful if you could give me some orientation about this topic!

[@editorskeys]

Hey Eduardo Open the Movies folder, then drag the file named iMovie Library to your external hard drive. When the library file has finished copying to your external drive, double-click the library file on the external drive to open it in iMovie. If an alert appears asking you to give iMovie access to a removable volume, click OK. Hope this helps

This might save you four hours of hassle and support time - when exporting your video, choose quality as on't export as High, NOT Best (ProRes). Worked for me

Thank you for your great tutorial. iMovie is outstanding…especially for free with Mac. If anyone needs more video layers, they could export the edited clip out then back in to IMovie & continue adding another layer & build a composite when needed.

I've been having a lot of trouble with iMovie recently and was wondering if final cut pro was also can be very laggy at some times?

[@editorskeys]

Hey Cole, i think each editing program has its lagging issues at times, it all depends on your computer/laptop quality and what size footage you are using. Final Cut Pro is definitely more advanced than imovie so it will indeed be laggy at times, but you can also do a lot more in it than imovie. i hope this helps, feel free to ask for any more help. Thank you.

Good presentation I prefer still travel/street photography shooting RAW and enhancing in Lightroom. I occasionally run into a video clip scene and shoot that with Sony A7. As part of my stay at home project I find importing enhanced stills works really well with the small clips as needed to tell my story with the iMove program, sharing that on sites like FB, Flickr and KZbin. No burning desire to use Final Cut Pro but can see how useful it is for the video pro advanced community. Thanks for the easy to understand information well presented.
