[@mrssarkazz]

I've been using iMovie since I was in college 2000...I use FCP but iMovie is bae

[@MakerBrain]

I have been using Imovie for about a year for all my YT videos.

[@MakerBrain]

Super helpful video! I am pretty good with iMovie but this showed me a lot of things I have been wondering about but could not figure out how to do.

[@bessiedavid8216]

8 months now but i use my phone for now so i guess, what am learning can only be done with a computer

[@papaswagtv7581]

Been using imovie for about 5 years but just started KZbin in June 2019 and started using it on a more consistent basis so about 10 months on a regular basis

[@NguyeningLifestyles]

I remember wanting to get a mac 10 years ago to have iMovie and edit videos for free and giving up because it didn't have everything I needed. You've just given me everything I needed to make semi-decent videos! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 10 YEARS?

[@ranasmall]

Ive only watched 3 mins so far and my mind is blown lol

[@ForrestNeal]

Looks like imovie has improved quite a bit. For people who are doing basic edits with a bit of the functionality of final cut pro or a similar editing software, this looks like a good option!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

It’s really great for quick projects or on a slower Mac. If I shoot with good lighting and have some extra shots planned out…iMovie will do the job.

[@coryd.d.miller4161]

Self taught over many hours and this just blew my mind. Thank you for a great content tutorial

[@sonatina3]

Thank you for the clear and to-the-point video! I used waaaay old versions of imovie years ago but since starting to use the new version I had no idea it could do half this stuff.

[@DustinRogersinMO]

Been using iMovie between the iPhone and MacBook for several years now, but I learned a few things in this video. I wasn't aware of the keyframes and didn't know that you could select a range to mute a small section without splitting the clip. Thanks. I'll definitely use those.

[@MizdeeLiving]

All of this is GOLD! Man I've been editing on my phone with iMovie but have needed to update my skills and take my editing to the next level. Thank you!

[@fielding68]

I've been using imovie for a few years now. You've just taught me a load of tips that i never new existed. Top class tutorial. Thank you. (from England UK)

[@everythingarsenaltv]

Think Media is the blessing I didn't know I'd need when I started KZbin 😭 So helpful and inspiring 💪💪

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Glen Kightley - Everything Arsenal: yes!

[@sienna.6654]

[@Officialjosejuarez]

Facts!!! Dropping Major Keys!!! 🔑

[@TheBurrowByTheCreek]

Massive thanks! I’ve been using iMovie for a month. You’ve answered all of my questions!!!!

[@kkylla.]

The iMovie tutorial we all needed!!! Thank you so much, would have never of thought you could do so much on it!

[@templeofsunshine4974]

This video is such a blessing! I have always been told/been under the impression that iMovie is super basic and doesn't work well if you want really good videos but you have changed my mind. This is an amazing video. Thank you!

[@darian.explores]

been trying to learn more about imovie. this came at a good time. thank you!

[@mattsb99]

Great job! This clarified a few questions I had and showed me a couple of new tricks to add to my arsenal! I've been using iMovie off and on (mostly off) for a couple of years. I'm starting to significantly increase my video uploading and it's clear, my iMovie skills will continue to need work.

[@asystematec]

Dude, this was immensely helpful, thank you so much! Especially the keyboard shortcuts: Holding R, I & O for marking beginning & end. Just gold!

[@RussPaladino]

Outstanding, thank you! I've been using iMovie for only about 2 years, and never went the extra step to learn these pro tips and tricks. This video was clear and concise. I'm a subscriber now.

[@ADVENTURESOFFREDDIE]

Really enjoyed this tutorial. So many things to try and you explained everything really well.I am a beginner and have been using it for about four months. Learning as I go. I have watched some other iMovie videos but always end up more confused. This one was awesome thank you!

[@GreatBransonHomes]

So so so good man! I have been using iMovie for about 3 years now for my real estate KZbin channel and you just blew my mind with some of these tricks! Thank you so much for making this video!!! 😃🤗

[@findingbalancehypnotherapy1458]

Thank you! So incredibly helpful! And thank you for just getting to the point instead of making this a 7 hour video of waffling on like so many other tutorials do!!!

[@artieshell9205]

30 minutes of gold! Especially the exporting information!

[@QuaMikaB]

IVE USED IMOVIE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!

[@AndytheNorthernDiver]

I've been using iMove for years without ever looking at a how too video, this will add so much to my productions now thanks

[@KevinReedAlbion]

This was very helpful for me who's been stumbling through iMovie for just a couple of months. I especially liked the cloning (not that I want to see two of me or even one!) and also the export tips. I've been frustrated going from the iMac resolution to the KZbin resolution and the key will be to use the custom setting! Thank you!

[@mrs.debzembek]

This is golden. You managed to put soooo much info about iMovie into this tutorial. Thank you!!!!

[@MiaRits]

I have been using iMovie for 2 years and never realized you could do some of this stuff! Thank you so much

[@igglepiggle8447]

Mia Rits I’ve been using it for about 5 years and didn’t know these things lol 😂

[@Faiza_Joji]

This series is so awesome. I am in the process of learning how to edit on iMovie and your tutorials are very timely and helpful. Many thanks Think Media :)

[@joseph_p]

The audio tips were great. I’m definitely going to have to start using those.

Thank you! So many great tips to use tonight when I edit my copycat Romanburger episode!!! I’m so excited to try them!

[@RayLove91]

[@mikefixac]

Thank you so much. I love the professionalism, especially taking the time to time-stamp. I've become an insta-fan--good work.

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

This was FAB!!! I've been working with iMovie for a couple of years (but only seriously that last few months...) and this gives me more things to play with I didn't know about or understand. I love using quirky additions to my vids; this is going to be so fun. Thank you.
