ABOUT:

iMovie is simple video editing software for your Mac – in fact – it comes pre-installed on all Macintosh computers, except iPads. It is easy to use, though requires more training than Windows Movie Maker. It comes with simple transitions, effects, and labeling to enhance your footage. You can film right from your computer, import your own footage, stills or music to create a video for whatever your needs might be. Once your movie is created, you can export it in several ways, in a variety of qualities, including straight to youtube.

Supported

Mac, iPad only

Pros

• Has lots of professional looking transitions and effects.
• export to anywhere
• Easy to learn using a tutorial

Cons

• May be somewhat overwhelming for beginners
• Videos take up lots of space on your hard drive

EXAMPLES

Because it is impossible to link to an example of a work in progress – or a dashboard, as iMovie actually is – the link above is a short tutorial put out by KingTutsPro that you can watch to see how someone might build a simple video.

Uses

Videos can be used for a variety of assignments, or to enhance a digital assignment. You can embed them into larger projects or use them all on their own. You can pretty much make a video for anything you might imagine.
