Overall Satisfaction with iMovie

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.

Easy to use but when you transfer the actual video to your photo gallery, it cuts and edit it own it’s own. I have to screen record my videos because I don’t trust the app with my work. It’s free. Yes & Thank You. But it’s sabotage if you don’t rewatch your download version.

Easy to Use!
