iMovie Review: Is It Good Enough For Editing YouTube Videos?

In this video, I walk through some of the "pro-level" features I look for in video-editing software, and see how iMovie measures up. Many people overlook iMovie as a serious video-editing application. They think it’s just a simple tool to make home movies. Is iMovie capable of making polished, professional-quality videos?

Come for the title. Stayed for the voice.

One of the best training videos I have watched. You talk at exactly the right speed for us beginners. Some, talk far too fast and I have to keep pausing in order for my brain to catch up. Well done you!

Just the video I was looking for. Thank you so much, Michael. I'm about to start making a few videos for my job hunt. And with your reassuring words, I now have the confidence I needed.

Great stuff, Michael. You're built for this.

This was a great resource. Thank you for this. I found it informative and incredibly useful.

Thank you. This video made me respect you more. Most videos overlook simple existing features and are more like an upsell for some or other product.
Going to listen more regularly on your channel 💛

This was so helpful, I love IMovie and have been using it for years and never knew all this existed. Thank you!

[robandnell]

I have been watching iMovie reviews to see if this is the route I want to use to make YouTube videos. Your ability to explain iMovie in a simple manner (and I could hear you clearly) makes me know this is the route for me. Thank You.

Clean, professional looking video with really informative content. 10/10 🥳

This was actually really helpful. Not only did you cover whether or not iMovie was a helpful application, you also gave me a good bearing of what I should be looking for in any video editing software I might try my hand at, as well as unknown feature sets I can explore.

Thanks for the great advice, I’m trying to get started for my own job, and this has been extremely helpful in understanding the basics.

After poring through hours of video to get some hints I stumbled upon Michael Kinney. And for the first time enjoyed watching someones instructions. Michael, you are a great teacher! You speak clearly and slowly, you explain things so watchers can understand them. In just two of your videos I found a number of features in iMovie I've never known and which are extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

Fantastic video. I didn't know about the keyframing feature for graphics or the way you applied ducking. I've done a fair bit with iMovie, but it's always great to see there are still more features to explore. Thanks for a great video.
