I looked all over the internet for someone who could explain iMovie clearly, with knowledge and this is the guy! He's calm, easy to listen to. I can't wait to do the follow up training.

This was an excellent beginner overview! Enough to get you started and see possibilities but not so much as to overwhelm. Good job!

This is seriously the best tutorial I have watched in a long time. Thank you!

Amazing tutorial! I feel equipped to get started editing. So glad I took 18 minutes to learn from you before starting. Saved me tons of time. Thank you!!

Finally! Great video, clear, concise, love that circle pointer so I know where to look. Thank you!

For all the people that gave a thumbs down - perhaps it was their search parameters that didn't deliver for them, rather than the video! Fantastic walk-through. Logical sequence. What an amazing resource. Spent the day filming videos for a friend who is about to launch her product and now she has commissioned me to put the tutorial together. I DID tell her I've never done that before - but from this training, I sure am feeling a hell of a lot more confident than I did 20minutes ago before watching! Thanks :)

Mate this was brilliant. I’ve just started my YouTube channel, been watching a lot of beginner tutorials and this has been the best by far. Thanks a lot.

This is an outstanding tutorial. Quality instruction. Elements are explained clearly with no tech jargon. This guy really gets the job done.
@twizzle1952 4 years ago

Excellent tutorial. I’m a complete novice with iMovie and following your instructions I’ve just completed my first project. I have dozens of old mini DV tapes of my grandchildren which I’ve always wanted to put on my MacBook to edit and put onto disk and your tutorial has enabled me to start doing that. Many thanks..

I keep coming back to this video. It gives me confidence that I can do this even though I forget how to edit all the time (since I use iMovie it so infrequently).. Thank you a million times over for this video.
