iMovie

A simple video editing application. Great for novice editors and short video projects. Very simple, and lacks many professional features. Not recommended for projects utilizing a great deal of text or effects.

Pros:

• Very user-friendly, easy to learn.
• Works with multiple video file types.
• Varied export options for common workflows, such as publishing to Youtube.

Cons:

• Functions are quite limited.
• Not recommended for projects longer than 10 minutes.

Help:

• Atomic Learning - video tutorials (accessible only from Lauinger library computers).
• Apple Support - getting started, user's manual, troubleshooting.
