SUMMARY:
Just a few notes:
* Save your videos and graphics in your phone ahead of time so they're ready to go once you edit
* When you create your movie, only start with the first few shots (intro titles, opening shots, etc.). You can add the rest as you go.
* Create jump cuts by selecting your clip and tapping "Split" and then use two fingers to zoom slightly on alternating clips to make for a more engaging video
* Export your finished video to your phone first, then transfer to your computer or upload to your preferred video hosting service.

1st class explanation but I couldn’t help falling asleep your voice is so calm and relaxed

[MMM-hlef]

So I am brand new at this. I’m 50 years old and want to start a YouTube channel on crafting but I’m so not tech savvy and I’m struggling lol. Thanks for the help I’m going watch over and over until I get it

[danielafreeman]

Thank you so much! I’m a teacher and my school has been cancelled because of the Coronavirus and I’m trying to figure out how to make videos to post online for my students. This was exactly the tutorial I needed it! 👍🏽

[rheabose]

This is exactly what I had been searching for. A simple, step by step video, for beginners. You’ve made it possible for me to edit my video. Thanks a ton!!

[odarrien]

Lovely & straightforward tutorial. Found just what I needed - how to cut away to a graphic while the main video plays. Didn't even realize picture in picture was an option!

[lielastrong]

I don’t usually comment, but your video was really well paced, clear and concise, consistent, well developed, introduced and concluded with desirable simplicity. Thank you!

[bethanyyuan]

Your clear explanation makes it so easy for beginners to start editing on iMovie. Thank you so much for making this tutorial!

My Wife and I travel extensively in our RV. Now that I know how good my IPhone is for shooting video and, thanks to you I am able to be relatively proficient in editing, I will be documenting our travels to share and impress our friends and family back home. Thank you.

[rileydupont]

Thank you so much. I have a Spanish project where we must record our daily routine. I had no clue how to add transitions and edit at all. I hope I get a good grade. 🤞

This was a great tutorial on iMovie because I’m still trying to figure out on how to do editing for my videos I hope I can get it together thanks for sharing

[dddddianneee]

Thank you for this! I have been procrastinating because I thought it is hard to edit a video for my art class, turns out it is this simple!

[idontusethisaccountanymore]

Thank you so much! I’m 12 years old and I want to make short films with my friends who also love acting. It works out well since I’m a writer. I used to have no knowledge of editing but thanks to this video and friends I think I’ll be able to post some films on YouTube!

You are an excellent video instructor. You don't talk to fast/slow. The viewer has time to digest what you are communicating.

I watched this years ago and it was helpful. Only made a few videos and had to stop due to starting grad school. I am back and so glad this video is still available. I made notes and will be able to try making videos again after years hiatus. Thanks

[cheriecamp]

Thank you! Your instructions are so-so-so easy to follow and they get right to the point. I especially appreciate the quick links in the timeline bar which allow you to jump to exactly what it is that you are needing assistance with. I posted a review about a great little wallet I had just purchase and then to my horror, AFTER posting and reviewing, I realized as I was scanning through all of my credit cards, sharing how well they all fit, once I reached my driver's license - my entire DL # was visible in the video😳!! So, thanks to you I was able to quickly edit my post and remove about a half of a frame, and the DL # is no longer exposed, and I've reposted my review, whew!

[maureenoshea]

Thank you, Ben. I have been guessing my way through it, but you have explained so clearly. I'm sending stories to my small humans during the pandemic, and it does look less raw when I edit!!

[andrewrodriguez]

Collaborating with a friend and doing some Instagram challenge videos. Thank you so much for the step by step editing process. Simple and easy to follow. Stay safe! 🤙🏽
