Editing with iMovie

What is iMovie?

iMovie is a free and simple video editing tool that allows you to do some pretty amazing things. You can add music, titles, replace your background, add effects, and much, much more.

The program is found on the Mac workstations at all Idea Lab studios.

If you own a Mac but it does not already have iMovie on it, go to the App Store where you can download it for free.
