iMovie Tutorial 2015: A Step-by-Step Guide

Making a movie using iMovie can be a time-consuming process, but with these simple steps, you'll be able to create a finished file in no time. Before we begin, take a deep breath and get comfortable – this tutorial may take some time to complete.

First, open iMovie and choose 'File' from the top menu bar. Here, you can edit the title of your movie, add a description, and set its resolution. You can also select 'File' to export your finished product directly to your computer.

Once you've made these initial adjustments, go to 'Share' in the top-right corner of the screen. A progress bar will appear, indicating that iMovie is working on your project.

Next, let's focus on adding music to your movie. You can choose from a variety of options or import your own files. To do this, click on the music icon at the bottom of the screen and select 'Music'. From here, you can browse through different categories, including genre, mood, and duration. You can also filter your search by running time, instruments, or copyright status.

When selecting music for your movie, keep in mind that some files may be too long or overrun past the end of your video. To fix this, simply click on the track where you want the music to stop, right-click, and choose 'Split Clip'. You can then drag the clipped section down below the images and/or video footage.

To get your music into iMovie, import it just like you did with your images and video footage. You can preview each selection and download it/them to your computer when you're satisfied.

It's worth noting that while YouTube prefers that you upload your finished movie to their site, there is no requirement for you to do so. However, if you do decide to share your work on YouTube or other platforms, make sure to check the copyright status of any music you use and avoid ad-supported files that may have restrictions.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a professional-looking movie using iMovie in no time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the process – just don't forget to take breaks for coffee refills!
