Plan + Create Videos using Storyboards in iMovie

iMovie has just had a major update that brings with it two awesome new features. My favourite of the two, Storyboards, is covered in this short and easy-to-follow tutorial video.
With Storyboards you no longer have to dive straight into a blank timeline in iMovie. Instead you can choose a topic (News Report, Product Review, Top 5 etc etc) and Movie will get you started by providing a detailed and well thought-out Shot List. It'll suggest when to do a close-up shot, when to talk directly to camera and what content to include as a voiceover. It's incredibly easy (and fun!) to use.
Also new in iMovie is the awesome Magic Movie feature. I've made another video about that here: • Quickly Create Magic M...

Excellent and very helpful, thank you! I wish I'd seen your cats make a cameo though. ;-)

Great video! How do you change a storyboard project into a movie project? I need to adjust sound and video more separately for final pass.

[@MajorChangeAcademy333]

great video.. how did you get the talking cartoon head? which program did you use?

I have been making videos with iMovie on my phone but never checked out story board or magic movie. I think they compliment regular editing. I could create a shorter 30-90 second clip with them to insert into my regular edits. Big question: Does iMovie for iPad have features that the iPhone version doesn’t have?

[@susannewberry2624]

Hello! Thank you for this tutorial. My grade 4 class is loving making our product reviews. Questions I can not seem to find the answers to online: -can we add/edit transitions in storyboard (on ipad)? The transitions don't seem to be selectable. -can we do picture-in-picture in storyboard (on pad)? If no to these questions - can we convert the storyboard to a project and edit it there? I see how you do this on a laptop (file>convert), but I can't see how to do this while working on an ipad, which is what the kids are using. Any advice would be very welcome! Thank you!

[@iPhoneQuickTips]

No problem!

[@yogawithdenise]

my yoga channel is me leading (demoing & teaching) a full 30-60 minute yoga class, how could i benefit from StoryBoard? I was thinking of using it as an Intro, for each of my videos, could I add that to my i-movie project!🙏✌🧘🏻‍♀

[@lindavich]

This was great! Haven’t used iMovie for awhile so appreciate the updates. BTW, how do use a Memoji to narrate your videos? Love this!

[@kentawong9439]

Does MacBook iMovie have this function?

[@Gh0stfacxe3]

Can you tell me what happened to the trailers I’m trying to make one but I don’t see it

[@grays85]

How can adjust which part of a photo is seen?

[@ecua60videos]

Hi Jacob, thank you for the video. I want to create a storyboard to display my 50 years of marriage at a reunion we are going to have with my family. I don't know which template may be better for it. Which one do you think might be a better choice? I want to have a lot of pictures, few videos and some text pages. Thank you.

[@iPhoneQuickTips]

That sounds like a wonderful project, congratulations on 50 years! I’d suggest starting with one like Celebration. You can add as many clips as you’d like to a Storyboard too - even if there aren’t placeholders. Just tap the + button and you can add additional clips that way. Hope that helps!

[@FilamentFriday]

Is there a way to use this with videos filmed in portrait mode for KZbin shorts?

[@iPhoneQuickTips]

Not really I'm afraid. Have you tried the Clips app? I find that much better for vertical videos.

[@DiikshaMishra]

Cant we overlay stickers and images on story boards?

[@susannewberry2624]

I'd also love to know this!
