iMovie Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used iMovie to create promotional videos, whereby visual and audio clips from various sources are uploaded into the software and then clipped, edited accordingly and formatted in length, zoom (visual) and sound (audio). The end result can then be exported into a number of formats to suit the required final purpose.

iMovie is an application designed for Apple only so of course can't be used on Windows but in my opinion it is equally as good as its competitive counterparts. It is fast, has never glitched or frozen while use, like another application I've used which will remain anonymous at this time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use iMovie in a very specific situation : to create souvenir video of the dozens of events I organize every year. The short videos are presented at the end of every event and participants love them! I use the "TRAILER" preset and the script is created in advance. I then shoot the specific type of scenes I need to fit in the script. Very efficient process that allows me to export the video in my Keynote as the participants interact.

Definitely THE app to use to create magic moments!

Anybody who has seen my short movies are mightily impressed...even after seeing the movie for several years.

Since it integrate iPhone movie se easily anybody with a phone can create a great movie very rapidly.

The learning curve is very short and can be taught during a course to participants to cereal their own movie DURING the course!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use iMovie to create fast videos and edits music for my clients in social media and maybe for socials events, maybe family events. But it have a BIG problem, it doesn't have differents formats to create new size needed to the differentes platforms. For example, it only work in the resolutions 16:9. Maybe I need more settings to expand the potential and I will use more time and not depend on another software.

Is one of a best free software to create edit videos, with footage and photos, is intuitive, connect perfect with all software of MacOS or iOS, and is easy to use. It have extensive library of effects, music, sound, transitions and more. If you have Apple it's a one best value in your systems. I recommend it, ever.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use iMovie to edit video footage. As someone with no formal editing training, I started using iMovie because it was a free app that came with my Mac and quickly learned it was extremely user friendly and easy to pick up for a beginner like myself. I use it for very simple editing tasks and the user experience has always been very straight-forward and simple.

iMovie is a great editing tool for beginners and users with little to no experience. If you are looking for a simple, straight forward way to edit your videos without having any training, this is the tool for you. If you are looking for a robust and very advanced editing platform, you may wish to look elsewhere.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use iMovie across the entire Marketing department.

iMovie works great for quick edits of footage down to something presentable quickly. It is not as quick or intuitive if needing to produce higher-quality output. It can be done, just not quickly. By that I mean, it takes a fair bit of practice and learning to get to the point of comfort in doing fancier presentations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to produce audiovisual material, it solves the task of video production for social media material.

The best thing of IMovie is its interface. In case you want to work on something more professional (e.g. 3D videos), I'll recommend another app.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Video is a big component of marketing collateral as we use video in our social ads, PPC ads, organic social channels, and on our website. iMovie is a great tool to easily edit any videography done in-house, or to edit an agency video if the edits are minor. Our marketing team uses iMovie which benefits the entire company as video is the easiest way to get a lot of information across to users in a quick, easy-to-understand manner.

iMovie is a great tool to use personally and professionally as it's easy to understand where all the editing icons are. It works the best on Apple devices, and can even provide template videos for you to plug in your content if you need help with ideation. It is not as efficient in settings where you need longer videos to be created (over 30 mins) as it does not have as many advanced editing techniques such as Final Cut Pro. iMovie is fantastic for beginner/intermediate video editing skills and can be a great tool for companies that want to expand their brand voice/reach.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use iMovie to edit simple videos. When Adobe Premiere Pro is overkill, we turn to iMovie. It's quick, simple, and surprisingly powerful. It gets the job done well, and it's easy to use. We don't use it for everything, but it certainly has its place in our toolkit. And it's free with a Mac.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're looking to edit a video and you have a Mac, use, or at least try, iMovie. You already have it, or you can install it for free. It's so much better than any other free video software out there, and it's easy to use. Hardly a learning curve, and you can do a surprisingly large amount of work with it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our organisation, we were using iMovie to create videos for product tutorial guides. We were an early-stage startup and iMovie is available for free use. It is great software and an easy-to-use tool. Also, it is very good for someone who wants to get started creating videos or editing videos.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a good tool for beginners and getting started in the video editing field. It is a good tool for startups because, with no expertise, you can get started and you can very quickly learn the tool. Even I can say you can learn the tool in less than one hour. It is a very smooth tool and it comes built-in on iPhones, iPad, and Mac.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were using iMovie before we switched to using Adobe After Effects and it was great for someone who is just beginning in video editing. Definitely much more user-friendly than something like After Effects and you still get a pretty good end result! I would recommend for the beginning or casual video editor.

Likelihood to Recommend

I really like this software for simple or beginner edits. Something more advanced like After Effects can take more time and more power to run. Some people may be looking for software that is clean, easy to use, and straightforward. It's also a great starting point for someone who is just entering the world of video editing.
