| Considered Both Products |  iMovie  Tim Corbett General Manager Chose iMovie Not as easy to use as iMovie, and a similar cost structure. iMovie is easier for Apple users / and MS users, to both get proficient at. Movie Maker isn't bad, it just isn't as slick as iMovie. We actually used MovieMaker for a couple of years before migrating most users over to …  MatÃas Arévalo Larenas Socio y Director Comercial Chose iMovie IMovie is way easier to use and the result regarding social media content is almost the same (obviously depending on what do you want to do or expect).  Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Chose iMovie We use Adobe Premiere Pro, screenflow, and iMovie. All for different things. If we're doing heavy editing, some effects, and overlays, we use Premiere. If we're recording a bunch of stuff all at once and doing a screen record, we record with screenflow and edit while we're …  Kelly Reumann Lead Graphic Designer/ Marketing Chose iMovie iMovie has its place in the world of video editing software. It's definitely not the fanciest on the market but it is simple and easy to use and gets the job done and done well! There are times where I'll gravitate toward iMovie because I just don't need the extra features that …  Rene Agredano Advocacy Journalist and Co-Founder Chose iMovie I have an iPhone and recently bought a Macbook, so it was a natural choice. YouTube's movie creator was basic and not nearly as functional as iMovie (although I just wish the two worked together when creating movies). My Mac-based coworker says he used to use After Effects but … Chose iMovie iMovie is less expensive and a great alternate for the lay user.  Nicole Glover Technology Coordinator, Junior Kindergarten-Grade 12 Chose iMovie I haven't been able to find a comparable solution for what I need for video editing.  Cedric Haynes Videographer Chose iMovie iMovie is just as good and a lot cheaper than the competition. For my simple projects, it works well. For more advanced tasks, I outsource the work to better video editors and they usually work with Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. There’s no need for me to upgrade to anything else …  Ali Rauch Director of Marketing Chose iMovie This can be a bit overly complex to a novice and iMovie tends to be more beginner. We are not classically trained video people so that helps us do a better job with iMovie.  Dan Talvi Audio / Visual Coordinator Chose iMovie While iMovie worked for our organization for a while, we eventually moved to other software to create our video media content. iMovie was a great fit for entering into the realm of video content creation, but lacked the functionality provided by Final Cut Pro X and Adobe …  Jason Stein Wellness Business Coach Chose iMovie screenflow and iMovie serve different purposes; however, I find iMovie easier to use for beginners.  Chris McCarthy Chief Creative Officer Chose iMovie We like Snagit, and still use it too. But IMovie is much more extensive an application and really let us grow our video content market.  Catheline Shin Director of Marketing Communications Chose iMovie Adobe Premier is complicated for the non film student. Can you get it to work well for you? Of course, but not without considerable learning.  Dave Becker Content Manager Chose iMovie iMovie is kind of like Premiere Pro Lite. You can create videos, easily, and export them, but you don't get the fine tuning and control that you get with Premiere Pro. That being said, Premiere Pro is much more expensive, and takes a much longer time to learn. It made more …  Jackie Bassett CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose iMovie iMovie has all the capability most video producers need. Great videos are made in the editing because the right content is already there. Adobe has a great product but their editing software doesn't have to be that intense, as when it is, it takes away from the great creative …  Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst Chose iMovie iMovie compares very well with Premiere's and Final Cut's basic video and audio editing and for simple transitions. For the heavier lifting, you'll need a better application. iMovie isn't meant to be a Hollywood-level application but it can hold its own for most things. It's …  Sam Jacob Dev UX Consultant Chose iMovie Though iMovie lacked some features and functionalities compared to the competition, the main reason we went with this product was that it was totally free and our business had the ability to trial run and accomplish needed things for shorter projects. Compared to other products …  Cliff Fontenot Director of Social Media Marketing Chose iMovie iMovie is much simpler to use, I tried for hours to figure Premiere pro out and failed. |
