Video with Jordan Morrison | iMovie in 2023 | How to edit videos with iMovie

Finally someone actually goes over every little thing about iMovie other tutorials are people just saying how to do like one thing

[bettyslama]

Thanks Jordan, it was useful but here are 2 improvements I would suggest. First, I would remove the background music in your videos or at least lower the volume. It just creates more noise and makes it harder to focus on the material presented. Second, instead of your sample clips being more of you talking, why can't you use clips that are totally different from you? Otherwise it's confusing specially at the end when you run the video. The rest is really good! Thanks again

Well, Jordan, you finally did it! You created a tutorial for video editing that is step by step and easy to grasp. Congratulations and thank you! You are clear, concise, and methodical. I have found so many other videos that just jump all over the place or go too fast to follow, but your video is perfect.
