Overall Satisfaction with iMovie

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use iMovie to create step-by-step SaaS platform tutorials and also marketing videos.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The trimming tools cut very precisely down to fractions of a second.
I like the speed up/slow down feature as it doesn't distort the video at all.
It exports to several different delivery platforms.

Cons

I wish I could manipulate the placement of text over video.
It could use more/better title slides.
The available backgrounds are not really usable for professional content.

Return on Investment

No real ROI impact, it's the only tool I really use and was inexpensive.

Alternatives Considered

I also use a tool called Screen Recorder Pro which fills in where iMove lacks as a screen capture tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's a great tool for someone who doesn't have the budget for an expensive professional video editor. But it suits my needs for tutorials and marketing content.
