    I just bought my first ever macbook a couple of days ago to start a youtube channel. This is PERFECT timing
  • This is perfect for a beginner. Very clear explanation and also very comprehensive. I’ve just started editing and was feeling as though I would NEVER even get to first base. Thanks so much.
  • Justin, I just want to thank you for continuing to provide excellent tutorial videos. Your teaching style makes the learning process so easy because you go straight to the point. I can’t thank you enough. May God bless you business and your channel.
  • @kylevandeusen
    This is a fantastic tutorial. I feel like I went from "where do I start" to "I got this!" In 20 min! Thank you!
  • @JacarandaMusic
    My favourite tip; I use two static cameras to shoot guitar performances, and I use the Ken Burns Effect (in the Crop section) to give the illusion of a camera gradually panning or zooming or both. There’s a lot you can do with it, not least the arrival position can be copied, pasted onto the next clip and reversed, so you get the effect of continuous movement.
  • What a fantastic cheat sheet guide for occasional users. Also, just when you think you know this software well, Justin shows us a few more tricks which we just can’t believe how we didn’t know that one trick. Thanks Justin, superb video.
  • This was EXACTLY what I needed to get started with iMovie. Just started a YouTube channel vlogging our life on our narrowboat using Splice on my phone, and it just took off like crazy, and has been slightly overwhelming! Invested in a MacBook and needed a crash course in iMovie and so glad I found you! Wonderful teaching style and a perfect ‘non-annoying’ voice! Thanks 😊
  • @TheHuntersCantina
    I just want to express my appreciation for this walkthrough! I’ve had a channel for a few years now and have struggled with editing, only using iMovie on mobile, but after recently purchasing a Mac, and the help of this video, I can make my content so much better quality. Thank you!
  • This is awesome! Only 6 minutes in I already learned so much 😊 this is going to save me so much editing time ❤
  • @PeterGregg
    This was a very needed video Justin, great topic and great timing! Big thumbs up 👍👍👍
  • Great video. I learned a few new things. One drawback to iMovie is you can’t move text around on screen nor can you display two images simultaneously on screen. For example if you wanted to have one video appear to the right of your head and then another on your left AND have them both remain on screen for a few seconds, I haven’t figured out how to do that on iMovie
  • Thats what I need first time using iMovie editor in MacBook thanks very useful.
  • Hadn't used iMovie for a long time and was looking for a refresher. You excelled yourself Justin. Concise, easy to follow and simple to implement. Big thanks. I'm now back up to speed!
  • @CristinaCollins
    Hi Justin Thanks for this, I’ve been editing on my iPad for ages but wanted to use our Mac, this has clarified everything for me Have a great day xx
  • Justin, you are the master for teaching us user-friendly techniques that are NOT intimidating at all, thank you so much!!
  • Thank you Justin that was really good. I’ve been terrified at editing my first video for weeks. Now I will follow your step by step guide and take the plunge.
  • @Summer-Vibes
    Thank you so much for this tutorial Justin. I have been using iMovie and absolutely love it. Learned new tips through your video which fantastic.
  • @famleelife7533
    🍀🍀🍀🍀 your simple step by step instructions have been a life line to starting my you tube channel. I am sooo new to the Mac world. It was a steep learning curve from PC slowly learning to love it.
  • Thanks Justin. Not edited for a while. Great reminder for me. Your clarity is always appreciated.
  • I'm just going through this, Justin. I"d been using imovie intuitively for a few weeks and this has been extremely helpful. You've shown me all the things I couldn't find by hunting and clicking here and there. The best basics I've found. Thanks, Ray
