iMovie Effects Example - How To Make a Movie Trailer Using Special Effects in iMovie

In this video we will create a movie trailer using only iMovie that includes a number of special effects. We will also do this in under 1 hour and challenge the iMovie community to see what you can come up with in that time frame. If you are interested in iMovie tutorials on how to create special effects then this video is a good one to watch.

This video is for people interested in learning how to create special effects using Apple iMovie. We show you how we created our own movie trailer using one of the best free video editing tools, iMove.

If you are interested in green screen effects in iMove and other types of effects for movie making then watch this video. iMovie can be pretty powerful if you learn how to use it even though it my take some imagination on how to get the final results you want.

This video is also for other iMovie video creators who like a challenge. We challenge you to create a iMove movie trailer in under 1 hour using only iMove. Plus, you need to include at least 3 special effects in the video to prove you know how to create. Then you can post a link (to YouTube) of your video to show the community what you created.

Thanks again for watching and please subscribe to my channel if you like video on Apple hardware, software, and various tutorials like this one on iMovie.

Thanks for another good iMovie is still my favorite even though it has limitations for making simple w/o all the fluff, it scores high IMHO.

Post your example movie trailers you made up using only iMove. The challenge is to post a video with 3 special effects in iMovie and keep the fake trailer under or close to 1 minute. Let's see what you can create on iMove with special effects.

Pretty easy for you is way too difficult for me! This was my first contact with the possibilities iMovie provides. I would have loved to take part in the challenge, but there is no way I could possibly do it. But thank you for the inspiring video!

Hi Craig! By any chance do you do any consultations on what gear to buy? Like an email or phone consultation? I've been on macofalltrades and ebay but don't understand the specs of imacs or macbooks. I am thinking of just using my savings and buy a brand new MacBook a used 27 imac because of the big screen for talk and shoot editing AND b roll footage. Thank you
