PRO Editing Secrets with iMovie Clip Trimmer on Mac!

[@MacVideoMagic]

Another iMovie editing tutorial! This time I show you how to save tons of editing time using one of iMovie's more obscure features: the Clip Trimmer. Spoiler alert: it's not just for trimming clips! Just another one of the pro-level features you'll find in this "amateur" video-editing software. Enjoy. MK

[@subtleroyalty]

So helpful. Thank you. Subscribed!

[@elischabes1877]

First off great videos. Well made, thought out and narrated... When I go into the Clip Trimmer and try to drag the clip over to line up with an audio marker the clip does not slide. Any idea why this would be happening? using version 10.1.10. Thanks again.

[@elischabes1877]

nevermind, figured it out.

[@spidgeb3292]

Best tech teacher on KZbin. Can't thank you enough for your excellent tutorials.

[@sdflyer1672]

Michael, I'm 70 years old and as a 2024 New Year's resolution, I decided to take up video recording and editing as a retirement hobby. I've learned SO much from you and can't thank you enough for all of your wonderful educational videos! I would have quit a long time ago if it wasn't for you!!! Thank you, again!!!!

Hi Michael, I just wanted to join all the previous comments: you are the rock star! Thanks a lot for sharing all the information about editing and using the iMovie. This trick with a clip trimmer is extremely helpful for me, since I edit a lot of music videos. Thank you once again for all the knowledge and inspiration!

[@hadassahjacobs787]

Wow Michael you have to be the best I have watched on KZbin. Finally I found a MAC I MOVIE EXPERT! I use IMOVIE all the time to do my totally amateur videos for courses and social media -- and that is about to change because of your tutorials! Thank you!!

[@Beamthere]

Michael, you're an incredible teacher. I've been sorting through various iMovie instructional videos and you are head and shoulders above all the rest. I wish every teacher I ever had in school was as even half as good as you. Thank you sincerely for such clear and thoughtful videos.

[@glammachronicles7583]

I love your voice & you are a great teacher too. Very clear instructions.

[@SingleMaltMotors]

[@rusdikarsandi4696]

you are a real pro teacher sir. Thankyou for a really great imovie video.

[@nvsilverlady]

I would have never known about the slip edit until you explained and demonstrated this feature. Thank you.

[@johnvanderkieftiv7327]

Mike!!! Rockstar! Thanks again! Super pro look! Love it!

[@OptionsASAP]

[@lynnmason475]

Excellent tutorial. Excellent teacher. Thanks.

[@SoniaRobinson]

Wow Michael...I just stumbled upon your tutorials for precision edition and am so impressed. The style, clarity and pace of your demonstrations and explanations is perfect and in just one video I feel like I’ve learned so much! Thank you.. you have a new student 🤓

[@kiavashzare6584]

Thank you Michael for all of the amazing content. I learned video editing with Imovie and keynote from your channel and did all the editing of videos on my channel.

[@dayanaasil7917]

yes he's content is great. I also learned from his channel for my work.

[@alanazegers3484]

same

[@juliekovich-recordingartist]

Thank you a thousand times over! I have been struggling through exactly what you stated near the end where I have meticulously timed out clips with music and then adjust something earlier, creating a vicious circle of hours of readjustments. You just added countless hours to back to my life:-) Also, your style of instruction is perfectly paced. Thanks again!

[@issapa406]

I’ve learned a lot and your tutorial are useful for the beginners like me 😁😊 thank you🥰

[@robertomarin]

Man, your explanations are amazing. Congrats! 👏

[@armandofelipe3462]

Dear Michael You are a rockstar and also a great teacher! Thank you for such great detailed oriented videos. I teach tech to elementary students and often times I use Imovie to make videos for then. I have learned a lot from your series.

[@LOEWE-MEDIA]

very very helpful! Calm, informative and creative. Thanks a lot.

[@67harlok]

WOOOW You are really clear in the explanations !! A tutorial explaining the management of libraries, the management of HD space I think is a Killer other iMovie tutorials. Thank you so much

[@krishnakandula6587]

This is great teaching, thank you Michael

[@Myfivestarsuccess]

Love the content and teaching style. Great work.

[@SeanMadden]

I always learn amazing new iMovie features from your videos. Thank you for another great tutorial.

[@brevardncproperty]

Kudos Mike...your vids are very professional. I just bought another iMac and decided to not include Final Cut as what I do now is not as involved and I want a simpler editing program, so I'm learning iMovie, mostly from your vids. Thanks, glad I came across you.

[@dannyshows]

You just got a new subscriber. Excellent content. Very detailed explanation. Thank you.

[@karlnewton3560]

Just come across your chanal today, mate you are very clear and I like your style of teaching. thank you

[@fydstar]

ooh! now slip edit, that is useful, I've been editing my next songs video and been so frustrated in having to reposition all the other clips over the audio after editing just one, just like you said! thanks dude!

[@japancycler6691]

These tutorials are really great! Thank you. The best I have seen!

[@BoredOfBills]

Hi Mike, I've been watching your videos for a couple of hours and I've learned SO MUCH about some software I thought I knew fairly well - so thank you.

[@urbansoban2669]

Very good, clear explanations. Thanks Michael. I'm happy to subscribe!

[@stacksmcduck6645]

You are a lifesaver, Michael Kinney. I just started my youtube channel and spent hours on editing (it needs work, trust me) but this is such valuable information!

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

Another Kinney home run. Superb video Mike. Thank you (again!)

[@MacVideoMagic]

You bet!

[@mootpointmusic7627]

These are massively helpful, thanks.

[@sarasayshi]

Your videos are so helpful. I am always learning new iMovie tricks from you.

[@gedeyenite]

Michael- These are wonderful videos. I am producing videos for my job and these are really helpful.

[@deenixon3225]

Awesome.. I Laughed out loud when you described a timing situation as "Something is -bothering- me." Yes, that is the precise word for it when the timing is off with something during an edit. It can be very subtle. Next thing I know it does indeed turn into a ripple affect adding hours to the process. Thanks, that was very helpfuil!

[@PauliusCreates]

Thank you, I started editting with iMovie recently and these shortcuts and tips were very helpful and not something I've seen in many other imovie tutorials!

[@leftyla]

Suscribed! Your tutorials are top notch!

[@murthyudupa567]

Thank you Michael that was a nice video with a potential to save a ton of time. What is like about the video is not just the editing tip but putting it into a context.

[@dpmike32819]

Well done Michael

[@fredflickinger643]

I'm a fan now! Thank you!

[@DavidBluelineGaming]

I have ALWAYS wanted to know what the clip trimmer was for! What a time saver this will be to sync up clips with music. Thank you!

[@nick8292]

Very helpful. Great video!

[@TR-qn7kv]

Thank you for this Michael.

[@icemodica7118]

[@brewbuilds]

Thanks a lot for these videos! You have shown me a lot of hidden features, and how to be a lot more efficient in my edits.

[@DelanoCastro]

Your videos are helping me a lot!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@Thalicozer]

loving those iMovie tutorials!! Please more more more :)

[@jcinaz]

Nice! I keep learning new “tricks” from you. Of course, I could just read the manual from cover to cover and spend days and days learning everything, but I really like just bumbling through it and learning as I go - with your help.

[@jasonjameswren]

Wow...I watched this before creating a post with one of my song clips, and I FLEW right through getting everything how I wanted it with the timing and clip editing! Thanks so much!

[@TawdryOtter]

that was dope. big ups!

[@kkeyes88]

Thank you. This is so useful.

[@kuropnatalia]

Great videos! So useful! Thankyou

[@greenmango5453]

Michael, I definitely love your tutorials..such a priceless collection of great tips and moves. Thank you!

[@fikhrichannel]

Thanks man! Useful tips for me 🥰

[@MunroIndustries]

Great video, Thanks for the information you present on your channel.

[@Rozdlc]

Thank you so much for this! I make animatics and syncing up the slides with music is such a pain. Gonna try this now to see if it speeds things up

[@ScarlettO323]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I don't want to "move up" until I've mastered i-movie a bit. XO, Kelly

[@jimfischer4703]

Thanks!

[@MacVideoMagic]

Thank you!

[@pochi1502]

I appreciate the slip edit tip at the end! I find that some of my graphics cut too early when trimmed, so this helps!

[@mau_oj1]

really cool video 👌

[@jimijoe6432]

You're a superb presenter of stuff.

[@3N1Ind]

great stuff I have used iMovie for over 2 years and I learned something new today.... thank you

[@tomaszstephan7838]

Mate! This is genius! Thanks so much! The whole series is just great! A little slow on the show but this is pure gold! I edit my movies for memories simply - have loads of clips with my children doing all sorts of activities and want to make them into nice short movies and so I do not want to buy premiere or any other software and it looks like iMovie is much better than it seems - I was learning from experience and trial & error and you, my dear sir, are making me stare with disbelief at what this free software can actually do! Lovin' it!!! Keep it up and you've got my sub for ever until the end of days!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

This was awesome, thank you for the time-saving tip. Subscribed :) Do you have a video on how to edit from a computer and not a hard drive with the best way to save them to a hard drive so they are easily found later in case you need to extract parts from them for use in future edits ?

[@KODOPhoto]

These videos are fantasstic. So helpful! Thank you!

[@ianpve]
