    I have listened to many of these iMovie instructional videos and many of the instructors are too fast or have too much of their personality getting in the way. You have the talent to be very clear and pronounced in your speaking which I find very easy to follow and I appreciate your ability and style of presenting!

    I very much enjoyed your calm demeanor and your concise descriptions without being overwhelmed with information. I love I-movie but don't use it often enough to remember all of the buttons and shortcuts. Your tutorial is a great refresher. Thanks.

    *iMovie is simply the best tool for those using Macs because if you're using ANY apple device you can sync it with your Mac. It was my VERY FIRST Editing tool before i discovered Adobe*

    Meredith, I started following you about 4 years ago, but stopped using my GoPro black 3. Now, I have a GoPro black 12, so I am back to learn/revise. This video is an excellent start. Thank you. :)

  • @chadebrownnyc

    I like that you explained what us beginners are seeing, unlike other videos that immediately start doing stuff without explaining. They seem to think we can see what they are doing with their mouse pointer.

  • @robertbrumbaugh4634

    This was a great starting video for beginners. I just recorded an old VHS tape on my computer from the 1980s and now I have to edit it. I'm sure there are a lot of trial and error steps to follow, but your video gave me the basics. I will watch your others, too. Thanks a lot for recording this.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are the first person I found on here that understands people who have NEVER attempted this! Perfect for the TRUE beginners - the fact that you speak about every little thing that happens during editing a video and every single function and go slowly is so amazing! I feel like I can finally edit the videos! You will be my go to when I get stuck.

    Meredith, I've been putting off learning iMovie since I started my youtube channel in October and found the first few tutorials I tried somewhat confusing. But 15 minutes into yours and I have begun my first iMovie-edited film and am so enjoying it. Thank you so much! I look forward to learning from the rest in the series.

    I have never had to edit video in a serious way before. Mostly I played around with social media options within the platforms. It was fun for personal things but it takes me hours to learn this stuff. I just want to tell you that I appreciate how you teach this iMovie because I've been tasked to make one with work colleagues in a collage of video messages in 2 1/2 minutes. I'm excited to give it a try after watching your video. I'm right there with "py Chien" LOL. I have liked and subscribed
