iMovie '11
If you know how to drag and drop, you can make a movie in iMovie. Here’s how easy it is: just drag your clips into the project area and arrange them however you like. Drag in titles and transitions. Drop in photos. Add a song from iTunes or GarageBand for your soundtrack. It's that simple.
Editing in iMovie makes perfect sense, thanks to the simple, friendly interface. Every clip appears as a dynamic filmstrip that lets you preview the action at a glance. Move the pointer over the filmstrip to skim your video. Select clips and parts of clips just as you select text, then adjust them until what’s in your head appears on the screen.
Useful for: Editing films, Composing presentations, Dynamic photography slideshows
