Video Editing with iMovie

Nirupama Chandrasekhar, Joshua Tuthill | September 2020

Whether you're hoping to edit short TikToks, or longer Youtube videos, iMovie is a useful and simple software to use for all your needs. It comes pre-installed on any Mac OSX devices and features cross-compatibility with other, more-robust video editing platforms like Premiere Pro. 

Opening iMovie

Importing media into imovie.

• Understanding Your Timeline Layout

Trimming and Splitting your Video

• Adding and Editing image Transitions

Adding Audio

• Utilizing Presentation Slides (Keynote, PowerPoint)
• Exporting iMovie projects as .mp4 files

Saving your Project

Additional tips, useful resources for b-roll.

3. Two options should pop up: the ability to make a Movie or a Trailer. If you select 'Movie', you will have the greatest amount of freedom to edit your videos and will allow you to do about anything. Selecting the 'Trailer' option will allow you to insert your video footage into a variety of pre-set editing and transition filters: this is useful if you want any help on seeing what good edits look like!

• Once you've opened a new Movie project, you will be taken to a screen where you can see various ways of importing media into your project. You can import both video files and audio files into your project. 

• When the video files are imported into your main timeline, they should have two components to them: the video image itself, and the sound of the video. You can choose to separate or delete the audio from the video files, if you just want the visual images, and wish to overlay in more music. 
• To upload music, press on the "Audio" button on the top side-bar menu. You can upload music from your computer, using the "Import Media" button once more, or you can import music in from iTunes. Alternatively, as before, you can click and drag musical files into the project, and have them appear on your timelne. 
• HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Save all of your imported media as a Project Media Library for your project. This allows you to transfer your iMovie projects between computers, if you need to do so. 

Understanding your Timeline layout

There are several elements to a Timeline. I'm going to breakdown the visual cues for some of the more common and useful parts of a video. 

Video files 

These are marked by a thumbnail of the full content, and when hovered over, you can see the full duration of the clip.

These video files can be tied to their own audio within the video, or they may be silent video clips. The difference between a video clip with its own sound, and one without its sound is shown below. Notice the blue strip underneath the video file: without audio, the blue strip is empty. On the video file with audio, you can see the waveform of the clip mapped out in pale-blue.

It is difficult to layer two video files over one another, but not impossible: it is best to layer two layers of video when one video frame is smaller than another, in an overlay. You can do this by making sure you are in the "frames" menu on the preview screen, select "Picture in Picture" from the dropdown box as pictured here, and then resizing your movie within each other. 

Audio files

These are usually represented as green boxes, and you can see the waveform representation of the audio. The waveform marks the frequency and volume of the audio in the clip. Hover over the audio clip, to see the full duration of the clip.

These audio files can be easily layered, to have several layers of sound happening all at once. You can adjust the volume controls by clicking and dragging the yellow line that is depicted here right in the middle of the audio-track. 

Keyframes 

These are depicted by little white dots on the audio file's waveform, as seen below. 

Press 'option+left-click' to add a keyframe to the audio. 

Keyframes are a way to control the volume of certain section of audio with more precision. If you want only twelve seconds of your audio, right in the middle of your audio to be quiet, for instance, you can adjust that by using a few keyframes to toggle only part of your audio to be quiet. 

Video Transitions

These are depicted by translucent arrows between video clips.

Double-click on the arrows to change the length of the transition to be slower or faster. You can choose from a variety of different Transitions from this button on the toolbar at the top of the screen, and drag them down between your video clips. 

Text can be added into an iMovie in two different distinct visual ways. 

Firstly, it can be added as an overlay over an existing video. This is useful if you want to add text, as if it is a caption, or a label to what is happening on screen.

To add captioning or labelling text as an overlay, click on the button "Titles" from the toolbar at the top of the screen, select the appropriate text location/duration from the variety of pre-set options, and drag it down, over the video file in your Timeline that you want it to label.

It should look like a small purple box, clinging to the video files.

Right click on the purple box to change the duration of the text file in seconds. Double click on the purple box, to be able to edit the text's content, font and size within the preview box, the box to the right of your screen, as shown below. 

Secondly, you can add a separate text screen within a video. This is useful if you want to have a titlescreen, a credit scene, or any kind of text transition between images. 

To add a separate text screen, click on the button "Titles" from the toolbar at the top of the screen, select the appropriate text location/duration from the variety of pre-set options, and drag it down into your timeline.

Place it inbetween two video files. It should look like a green box inbetween your videos. Double click on the text in the preview box, on the right-hand-side of your screen, to edit the text's content, font and size. 

Narration over a pre-exiting video can be helpful in order to properly set up the timing. Although it will look the same as a regular audio file, you can in fact narrate directly over an iMovie project that's in progress.

In order to do this, select the microphone button underneath the preview screen. This will change the pause/play buttons underneath the preview screen into a red recording button.

Drag your mouse over to where you wish to begin your narration, and press the record button. You will be given three seconds to prepare yourself before you can begin narration and layer it over the video file. 

You can fine-tune the start and endpoint of a clip in your movie. Fine-tuning the start and endpoints and is called trimming.

To extend or shorten a clip first In the timeline, skim to the beginning or end of the clip you want to extend or shorten then:

To Extend the clip: Drag the edge of the clip away from its center.

    Note: To extend a clip, there must be unused portions of the clip available.

To Shorten the clip: Drag the edge of the clip toward its center.

iMovie doesn't have a native cut function like many other video editors. It does have a split function that works in a similar way as a traditional cutting tool.

To split a video clip:

In the timeline, select the clip you want to split.

Position the play head where you want to split the clip.

Choose Modify > Split Clip.

Alternatively:

press Command+B to split the original clip into two separate clips.

Right-click and select Split Clip in the pop up menu.

This will separate your video clip at the designated spot into two new clips.

Adding and Editing Image Transitions

To add images to your iMovie project, select the "Import Media" option, located under the File menu on the top toolbar. From the file menu, select the image or images that should be imported into the project. These images will appear in the Media Library, where you can drag these images into the project Timeline.

To add transitions to your iMovie project, select the "Transitions" menu located in the Media Library. There should be a variety of transitions that can be added into the project. Similar to how video clips and images are added, these transitions can also be dragged into the project Timeline between clips.

The transition can be seen in the Viewer. To see the transition, place the playhead over the transition box.

From the Timeline, double click on your transition. A popup menu should appear, letting users modify the length of the transition.

If you have recorded your audio elsewhere, import the audio file from Garageband (or wherever it is saved) by again File > Import Media. You will again have to drag the audio file from the Project Library to the timeline.

If you plan to record the audio in iMovie, move the playhead to the beginning of the slideshow and hit record. You may want to record each slide separately and line up the audio as you do the slides.

Utilizing Presentation Slides (PowerPoint, Keynote)

If you have Exported Video:

To build your movie, select the media file and drag it into the timeline (bottom half of screen). It will already be timed according to the assignment (4 min, 20 seconds for each slide). Be sure to check the crop on the media before moving forward.

In the preview window, click on the crop button and toggle between fit and Crop to Fill depending on what you think works best. You want to make sure all of your slide show content is in the window.

If you exported as Images:

Import your media by clicking the down arrow or going to File > Import Media. Select all of the jpeg files. They will appear separately in the Project Library (upper left hand section of the iMovie screen).

To build your movie, select each photo and drag it into the timeline (bottom half of screen). You will have to edit the length of each slide as you go by selecting that slide and dragging out until it’s the length you desire.

You may choose to drag in one image at a time, record the voiceover for that slide and then move on to the next. This can account for slight timing changes – ie. Perhaps one slide has a voice over of 25 seconds, one 18 seconds, and one 17 seconds.

Exporting iMovie Projects as .mp4 files

To Share your iMovie as a file, select the “File…” option found under File->Share from the top toolbar.

You can make some modifications on how you would like your project to be exported. It is recommended that most of the time you do not need to change any of these values.

Once any modifications have been made, click “Next…”. You will be prompted to save the file.

The video should appear as an .mp4 file.

•     Go to the top right portion of your iMovie window.
•     Click on “Share.”
•     Select “File.”

•     Provide the information being asked or customize the default video settings.
•     Click “Next.”
•     Choose the destination folder where you want to save the movie project.
•     Click “Save.”

Some more basic edits that can be helpful for creating the perfect short video edits!

Colour-grading

If you want to mess with the saturation, brightness or values of your video, iMovie makes it very easy. Simply press the "palette" icon above the preview screen as shown here to open up the menu. 

The slider on the right controls the "temperature" of the photo, whether the warm colours like red, yellow, orange and pink are more prominent in the photo, or whether the cool colours like blue, green, purple and are more prominent. 

The slider in the middle controls the saturation of the picture: whether the picture is more brightly coloured, or whether the colours are more muted and grey. 

The slider on the left controls the brightness of the picture. If you increase the top slider, the white slider, that will make the highlights of the picture brighter or darker. If you move the bottom slider, the black slider, that will make the shadows of the picture brighter or darker. If you move the middle sliders, this will change the contrast of the picture: whether bright and dark are very diametrically opposed, or not. 

Finding the optimal settings for the video differs depending on the style of the video. Don't be afraid to mess around with the sliders, until you find the ideal colour-grading. 

Speed-Increase

Sometimes, if you're thinking of making a timelapse video, or you want to slow down an action shot within your editing, you'll want to mess with the speed of the video, to display differently. iMovie makes this very intuitive. 

Right-click on the video file you want to speed up, and select "Show Speed Editor" from the dropdown menu. This will make a small slider bar display on the top of the video file. 

Drag the slider bar leftwards, and this will make your video faster. The video file will flash with the icon of a hare to indicate this. Hare is for a sped-up video. 

Drag the slider bar rightwards, and this will make your video slower. The video file with flash with the icon of a tortoise to indicate this. Tortoise is for a slowed-down video. 

To make it go away again, right-click the video file, and select "Hide Speed Editor."

It isn't always easy finding a pool of places where free videos or audio can be found without needing to pay royalties, but this will hopefully give you a places to start off with!

Combining Apple iMovie and Keynote for Video Presentations

Ideas for making professional looking short-films mixing text, stills, and video.

I use Keynote to create presentations. One of the great things about this productivity application from Apple is its ability to create movie files. These can be versions of a presentation I have made live. After delivering a class I can post a narrated summary using my Keynote slide deck. I can post these online for students to review at anytime. What is less understood is how iMovie and Keynote can work together. iMovies can be embedded in Keynote, and Keynote movies can be embedded in iMovie.

Here are three examples of mixing and matching the functions of iMovie and Keynote.

1. Using Keynote to generate titles and graphics for a video presentation

Okay iMovie has plenty of title and text options but these are all but set in stone. Using a Keynote slide set to 16:9 I have created the titles for a video (see Figure 01). The animations on the slide have been set within Keynote. Once I am happy with the animation durations I can record my slide show.

Figure 01: I use Keynote to create many types of motion graphics. Learning Adobe After Effects is on my Do List, but Keynote can work wonders and is not hard to learn.

Figure 02: I record my slideshow in Keynote, pacing the animations with a trackpad or mouse clicks. Choose Play > Record Slideshow…

Figure 03: Once the recording is done I export the presentation as a Quicktime. Use File > Export to > Quicktime… Currently the maximum resolution is 1080p HD, but much of my work goes online, and 4K requires too much bandwidth. The Quicktime Movie can be imported in to iMovie.

2. Placing an iMovie project into Keynote.

Figure 04: Here a sequence of clips is being edited.

Here I have edited some video footage into a sequence (Figure 04) but I want to add some information graphics. I export the iMovie project as a mp4, which means I can place it into a Keynote presentation.

Figure 05: iMovie files can be exported to mp4 format using File > Share > File…

I can add graphics over the video using Keynote, or trim video clips. I could split the video by duplicating it into a second slide then using the Keynote Inspector to trim the movie. I would then be free to add any number of slides between the first and second parts of the video.

3. Creating Motion Graphics 

Figure 06: Here is a sample of an iBook Author project. This page contains three embedded Keynote projects.

Several years ago I began an iBook project that really needs to be finished. iBook Author can accept Keynote files. I wanted square graphics, this can be done in Keynote by defining the slide dimensions. The artwork for this project was created in Adobe Illustrator and copied and pasted into Keynote in two parts, the background and the foreground, the latter I animated using Keynote.

Figure 07: Adobe Illustrator is a great companion for Keynote. I generate graphics in Illustrator and copy and paste them directly into Keynote.

Figure 08: This motion graphic has two layers a static background that contains the arrow lines and a faint outline of the aircraft. The top layer, a solid copy of the Spitfire has been animated using Keynote’s Action inspector.

Once the animation was complete I was free to export the presentations as QuickTime movies. My Roll, Pitch, and Yaw video has been viewed over 31,000 times on YouTube.

This tutorial offers only a basic outline of the professional creative possibilities for mixing iMovie with Keynote and vice-versa. As the UK Product Ambassador for BenQ Colour Critical monitors I am called on to make video posts. I rely on Keynote’s speed and ease of use to create the animated graphics for my posts. 

Figure 09: iMovie is a very capable video editor, but for more complex projects I use Adobe Premiere, though Final Cut would be ideal if you find iMovie limiting.

I tend to assemble the various motion assets in Adobe Premiere, however for speed and simplicity there is no quality issue working with iMovie. Premiere is so rich in features it can appear daunting. If you have a Mac and want to create professional video presentations take time to learn Keynote and iMovie.

How to: PowerPoint to iMovie

An added benefit to the Mac OS X version of Microsoft's PowerPoint is that it enables you to export movies directly to a format you can imported to another native Mac application, called iMovie. iMovie allows you to burn your presentation directly to a CD or DVD, allowing you to play it in a DVD player. Once in the DVD player your presentation displays as if you were watching a regular movie on your TV set.

How to use Keynote to add text overlays in your iMovie projects

iMovie lets you create movies from photos and videos, and while its interface is a little hard to understand in parts, you can overcome those limitations and master it to produce great results. But it has a few missing pieces that typically require you upgrade to something like Adobe Premiere Elements or even Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

One of those is adding text that overlays an image or video. Yes, iMovie has titles that you can add, but they are highly restrictive. Despite a large number of options, they’re difficult to control, including where you place them on screen.

There’s a low-tech/high-tech workaround that lets you use other Apple software to achieve titling results: Combine Keynote with iMovie and you can make your own text overlays, as well as intertitles and other titling cards. Why Keynote? Because it’s designed to make individual slides in the same 16:9 widescreen proportion used by iMovie.

Create text with any styling and position against a transparent background, which Keynote represents unfortunately as black.

Try the following, starting with a single slide so you learn the workflow:

In Keynote, create a new presentation using the Wide format.

Select View > Edit Master Slides .

Select the Blank master (shown at bottom). You can later add master text to this if you want.

Choose No Fill for the background of the master to allow transparent exports.

In the Format Inspector at right ( View > Inspector > Format ), choose No Fill from the Fill pop-up menu. (You can instead set the fill to green or blue if you want text choices to be easier to view; you can then use a color-removal option in iMovie described later in this article.)

Click Done at the bottom.

Click anywhere not on the slide and then click Change Master in the Format Inspector and choose Blank .

Click the Text button at top, type text in, and use the Text Inspector to set a contrasting color and other values.

• Select File > Export To > Images and select PNG as the format and check the Export with Transparent Backgrounds box. (That box won’t appear if you set the background to green or blue.) Click Next and choose a place to save the result image.

Export as images lets you pick a transparent PNG.

Now in your project in iMovie, drag the export image into the My Media area.

Drag the image from My Media to sit on top of the video or images that you want your Keynote slide to act as an overlay for.

• Click the Crop button and choose Fit , otherwise the default Ken Burns Effect will move your overlay around. (If you want that, that’s ok, too!)

The timeline shows the overlay above your main video or images.

Now click play to preview. You’ll see your overlay exactly placed. You can drag the Fade In/Fade Out handles on the clip corresponding to the overlay in the timeline to have it fade in and out, and you can apply other effects, too.

If you want to use the green/blue screen removal option in iMovie, potentially to combine with other effects that won’t work with transparency, add these steps: 

Select the overlay image, and then in the editor/preview in the upper-right corner, click the Video Overlay Settings button that looks like two overlapping rectangles.

Use the iMovie video-overlay option to remove the green background.

• From the far-left pop-up menu, select Green/Blue Screen . You’ll notice the background has disappeared and your type remains as an overlay.

Click the blue checkmark at the upper-right.

You can also use the Video Overlay Settings with a green or blue background.

I recommend working iteratively with a single slide, testing type color, perhaps adding a shadow to the type, and working on position until you have the overlays just write. You can repeatedly export images from Keynote and then replace them in the iMovie project, but be careful to keep track. I like to remove the overlay from the timeline and delete it from My Movies before dragging in a replacement.

This takes a bit of effort until you get the hang of it, but it’s a powerful way to add an effect without learning a new software package.

Thanks to  Remi Boucher for the transparency tip!

Apple event: How to watch the “Let Loose” keynote on any device

You have several options to watch Apple’s May 7 “Let Loose” keynote presentation that will announce new iPad Pro, Air and Pencil models.

The presentation starts Tuesday, May 7 , at 7am Pacific Time / 10am Eastern Time. There are multiple options at your disposal for watching the keynote stream.

Since “Let Loose” is another online-only event, Apple has already recorded a polished Hollywood-style presentation of new products to broadcast online.

How to watch Apple’s “Let Loose” event on any device

This allows anyone with an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Windows PC or another device to follow along without downloading any special software. Here are all the ways you can watch the upcoming “Let Loose” event.

Watch Apple events in the TV app

Apple no longer streams its events via the Apple Events app. Instead, event keynotes are streamed in the TV app on any compatible device. You can use the search functionality in the TV app or ask Siri to surface all “apple events” videos.

The Let Loose video won’t be revealed via search until approximately 30 minutes before the show. Apple will feature it more prominently in the week of the event across your recommendations and the lineup of shows on offer.

The TV app works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, streaming devices like Roku and Android TV and smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio and other brands listed in Apple’s support document .

Follow along with Apple keynotes on YouTube

You’ll spot a Notify Me button on the livestream placeholder. Click it, and YouTube will send you a push notification 30 minutes before the show starts. Given YouTube’s ubiquity and reliability, this is the most recommended option for everyone.

Watch event videos on Apple’s website

How to download Apple’s keynote videos

All of the methods above will broadcast a pre-taped keynote as a livestream. After the presentation, the livestream will be replaced with a replay stream so you can relive the event on the TV app, YouTube, and Apple.com.

Can you get a high-quality keynote video onto your computer? While some apps can combine small video segments of a livestream into one file, they’re complicated and often don’t work as expected. Thankfully, Apple will release a downloadable keynote as a video podcast a few hours after the broadcast.

Watch Apple events on any device

As we mentioned earlier, Apple makes its event videos watchable on a range of different devices. The YouTube, the Apple website and the TV app methods all work on Windows PCs without any issues.

By the way, now’s the perfect time to download the standalone Apple TV app on Microsoft Store on your PC if you haven’t already.
