Over the past few weeks I have had some time to use iMovie and so far have done my unboxing video and burnt a DVD of my dads wedding and I did some video for set changes in a school play Educating Rita which was fun. As you can see I have spent a lot of time in iMovie since I got my mac. I thought that I would tell you what I thought of iMovie compared to other video editing options.

iMovie has some great features but what hit me first was how easy it was to use. We simply plugged in the Cannon HV20 with the tape at the beginning and just simply pressed import then it asked us if we wanted full HD and we said yes and off it went. Once the video was imported the interface was very obvious and the buttons explained themselves. Then there is the exporting options, these are so useful the youtube and then the normal export ect… save so much time. iMovie is the most stable video editing package I have used and most compatible with all the formats I use, which makes it so much easier to edit everything. I have used 3 cameras in iMovie a JVC hard drive and 2 Mini DV cameras and they all worked perfectly.
