What is iMovie?
iMovie is an Apple video editing software which only runs on the Macintosh operating system. As the basic video editing solution from Apple, it is quite novice-friendly and allows users to create movies from a number of different sources including digital video cameras, DV-encoded files, and images and do various simple tasks to the videos like add video titles, perform simple transitions etc.
Pros and Cons of iMoive
Pros:
1. User friendly and easy to use and learn. Even if you are a newbie, you can start editing videos with iMovie right away, however time would be taken if you want to get the hang of it. You are allowed to add some effects and background music, combine several photos at once, and organize your videos to experience great function of this video editing software.
2. Friendly interface. The organized function layout and design on its friendly interface give you great convenience when you are editing your videos.
3. Convenient videos sharing. You are allowed to share and publish your edited videos on videos sites like YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo directly with iMovie.
Apple iMovie Adobe Premiere Pro isn't cheap, costing around $20 per month for the Creative Cloud subscription, but what this software offers is among the best video editing experience available on Mac. Should you not want to be locked into a contract, Apple's Final Cut Pro is a worthy alternative. $21/mo at Adobe. They satirize the latest version of Final Cut Pro - Final Cut Pro X an 'iMovie Pro' and 'iMovie-fication' because it is very similar to iMovie technically. To download and install Final Cut Pro X, you have to make sure that there are over 3GB free space in your local disk as the app itself costs 2.95GB.
Cons
1. According to most Apple's products owners, not all varieties of MP4 are supported by iMovie due to its incompatibility, in addition to many other video formats. This issue is no doubt quite annoying as MP4 today is one of the most popular and most used video formats.
2. The storage space is quite limited which leads to difficulty if you have large number of projects. So you will need external hard drive soon.
3. iMovie doesn't perform quite stably. Sometimes, iMovie keeps crashing when editing videos on Mac and iOS devices.
