In this course we're going to cover everything you want to know about iMovie from start to finish. We'll cover all the basics - how to import media, edit your footage, add effect and music, and export for the web and social media.
We'll also cover advanced level techniques, like smoothing out audio transitions, creating L and J cuts, and making your footage more dynamic. I also have a few hacks to overcome iMovie's limitations, like forcing custom video resolutions and making sure your video is perfectly framed for square and vertical cropping.
While this course is great for the novice, I'm sure there are plenty of useful tips for editors and media creators of all levels.
And while it uses iMovie on the Mac, which is a totally free program from Apple, a lot of the technics can be applied to other editing programs, especially Final Cut Pro X.
So if you're ready to take your videos to the next level, let's get started.
