Overall Satisfaction with iMovie
We use iMovie to edit videos that we put on Youtube that get millions of views every day. We use it not only because it is low cost but because it is the simplest, cleanest interface that doesn't need a Ph.D. in video editing to use. It obviously isn't as advanced as Adobe video editing software but it is good enough for what we need. Maybe eventually we will upgrade to something more advanced once we have a need but if it ain't broke don't fix it at this point.
- It makes it clear where one cut happens and how it works in the whole video.
- Makes adding music and volume simple.
- Zooming in and out of the whole video is easy.
- Adding sound effects is very intuitive.
- It doesn't do split screen very well.
- Combining multiple videos into one doesn't work at all.
- Green screen videos as well are clunky and tough to do well.
- Since it is free it has had an infinite ROI.
- It helped me to get started a few years ago on our Youtube channel when if there was a higher barrier to entry I might not have done it.
- I was able to get on doing it right away, as there was no steep learning curve.
iMovie is much simpler to use, I tried for hours to figure Premiere pro out and failed.
