I looked all over the internet for someone who could explain iMovie clearly, with knowledge and this is the guy! He's calm, easy to listen to. I can't wait to do the follow up training.

This was an excellent beginner overview! Enough to get you started and see possibilities but not so much as to overwhelm. Good job!

This is an outstanding tutorial. Quality instruction. Elements are explained clearly with no tech jargon. This guy really gets the job done.

I keep coming back to this video. It gives me confidence that I can do this even though I forget how to edit all the time (since I use iMovie it so infrequently).. Thank you a million times over for this video.

Excellent tutorial. I’m a complete novice with iMovie and following your instructions I’ve just completed my first project. I have dozens of old mini DV tapes of my grandchildren which I’ve always wanted to put on my MacBook to edit and put onto disk and your tutorial has enabled me to start doing that. Many thanks..
