I have played it before but I tots love IT###$&@%🍩💓💓

So I played this game before and I’ve seen it before it’s just for some reason it’s uinstalled I’ve already made some but my two favorites are $###tik###$ and $###tok###$what are I love about this game is usually in some edit games they are ads but none in this game! Those two that I said I made them today and they look really aesthetic and pretty anime so you should really install the game it’s a really good one for animating if you don’t like ads and if your mom doesn’t like paying for stuff lol and how I did it was I got this wallpaper app I took some of the pictures from it and I made it into a little video and it’s really cool and what I like about it is that you can record music which is really great it’s just if there’s sound behind it it sounds super weird so you got to tell like your parents to be quiet or something on the tik one I had to re-record it so many times because my mom was making noise so if everything is really quiet that actually won’t happen on tok I had to do it like twice or like three times It didn’t take long because my mom was in my bedroom and there wasn’t any noise. So you should really get iMovie it’s a really fun one I’ve had it before and if it’s the uinstalls go onto iMovie Store find this app and just press the cloud with an a little arrow and it will reinstall and everything will be all better and anyways this is really long so it’s OK if you skip to another rate OK bye!!!!!!!

Almost perfect, almost!

So. It’s very rare that I leave a review on apps, but this one deserves it. I have been having an absolute blast with this, especially since I’ve really gotten into drone photography and it’s the perfect tool to make for video editing. My favorite feature honestly is making the movie trailers, it’s so fun with a compilation of media. The ONLY issue I have with it is that I’d love more freedom. Once you pick the general theme it predetermines what you can do. It boxes you into a certain amount of clips per section and has a variety of different kinds that you cant control whatsoever. So for example. One section in the trailer would have 3 slots for clips. The first one would be a .9 second, the next one would be a 3 second closeup (which is very annoying since it zooms way in on the picture or video and there’s nothing you can do to adjust it or stop it.) so if it’s a video it could focus in and cut out what you actually want to show in the clip which makes it impossible to use a lot of media. The third one could be 1.5 seconds.

The fact that you can’t change the number of possible clips in a section and that you can’t change the duration of any of the clips is very frustrating.

But beyond that this is an AMAZING app that I will love using for a long time, definitely worth having to be more strategic on what media I place where.

Won’t allow me to select clip

With the new update you guys have a bug or something going on. I been using iMovie for over a year now to edit my videos but with this new update I struggle to select a clip to create. It won’t allow me to select it. I have to repeatedly restart iMovie to fix this, sometimes even restart my phone. I’ve even tried uninstalling iMovie and reinstalling it, done that twice so far. Still same issue. This is the worst issue I’ve ran across but there is more. Please fix this issue! iMovie I would be a five star for me but I can’t give it that with this issue that has been ongoing for about two months now or so. Usually it has a select clip option and highlights blue when it selects the clip
But now it highlights a gold looking color when you tap the clip you want and it don’t give the option to select and create movie clip. This is so frustrating I have no idea what you guys did in this new update but this was never a issue until about two months ago. How can I create my movie clips if it’s not giving me the option to select and create the movie? I found the best way past this is tapping the select all option in which will select all videos in that column which can be up to 3 to 5 different recent videos, so I’ve been having to do that then go back through when it creates it into the editing table and delete the clips I did not want. Wow! Can you see how frustrating and time consuming this bug can be!? Very frustrating! Please fix it!

Great, But Here is a Suggestion

Yes, this app is a great movie and trailer or film maker, you can make retro trailers/films/movies, romance, teens, family, fairy tale, swashbuckler, expedition, superhero, scary, coming of age, indie, Bollywood, adrenaline, and narrative movies films or trailers. I know, a lot of options 😅.

But... There should be an option where you can change the music and where you can have the images and videos you took on this app only be stored in the movies on your app, not the gallery. It is a huge waste of space for your device, especially if you make lots of movies/trailers like me. I wish you could make the trailers longer than a minute, and can make it 1-4 minutes at least for trailers. When making a trailer, you can’t hear any talking or sounds just music. Maybe still keep the music, because that is still cool, but make there a setting where you can turn off music and can hear talking and sounds. Still a very great app I recommend, but I am just hoping for an update that will change that and further experience in the update. I hope this is good enough to explain the change I’d be grateful for and to explain to others who might download iMovie. Please make this change though, if not, it’s fine but thx anyways ☺️

LOVE IT

This....is......the......best......editing......software.....I’ve....ever....use.

Other editing apps make everything over complicated by making it look all “professional” or “easy”.

Some apps make it so you can’t find anything and you have to enter all these strange unhelpful commands while others all you can do is plop the video in, put in a filter, and maybe add some random sounds. But iMovie is so good! You can do so much with it, it’s super easy, AND if you are willing to spice things up you can put it into pro mode where you can do even more! It’s even better because IT HAS A FRICKING UNDO BUTTON! It’s so helpful if you made a big mistake and you don’t want to have to do it all over again! It also has so many transitions that are so fun to play with along with the funny and awesome sound effects (my favorite it the time travel one) the only thing I have to complained about is that the default transition is fade and so I have to go through my entire video and put it to the standard one witch really annoys me I would also like a *BLEEP* sound effect because it’s so good for humor and if someone says...something... but other than that it’s so good and I don’t understand why it’s only rated 3.9 stars WHEN IT CLEARLY DESERVES A 4.5! soooo yea that’s all I have to say!

I’ve only seen 1080P results on an iPhone 8

As far as I can tell, this app works great. I had to do some overlay stuff (PIP) which required me to look up instructions for that online, and I learned a lot about other more “advanced” features as well. Once, during many, many edits of a short video, it did seem to stop working, so I just restarted it. I’m looking forward to adding my own music next to see how that works. It’s super easy once you get the hang of it after searching specific online instructions. I mean, skip the basic feature instructions, they are already very straightforward and more or less intuitive. And what a bargain it is!👍 Meanwhile, those other video editing apps might not even have the some of the features you want, except maybe for an extra charge, and/or vampirize your wallet with regular subscription fees, charge $90 for a one time fee, and end up having you in fetal position shaking like a leaf in a corner somewhere wondering how you, at least temporarily, lost that full, unlocked app you already paid a much better price for that went to a $ubscription plan. If iMovie crashes on your phone or iPad, I don’t have anything supercalifragilistic to say about that. So far, I have no complaints in that department whatsoever.

I am OBSESSED!

I have been using iMovie since I was 6 years old and I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!! I especially love the new green/blue screen affect. I have made dozens and dozens of videos using iMovie. The only think that I would change is the trailer making part. I would like to add videos and clips into it that have sound and optionally hear the sound. I also would like to be able to add audio in the background. (Like in movie trailers when you hear the characters talking in the background) I also think that the green screen could be easier to use. It doesn’t work very well at all unless you have an actual green or blue screen which pretty much none of us are going to have. I also think that you should bring back the theatre. It saved me so much space because I could actually delete the videos and pics from my photos but the movie is still saved. And you might think that with these complaints I would do 4 or 3 stars but these are minor issues, there is nothing big, and I just love everything else so much I have to do 5 star. There are always going to be things that aren’t perfect but there are only a short couple with iMovie and I recommend it to all. DOWNLOAD NOW!!

Great app, but some problems ...

I have been using iMovie for 2 years , almost 3. Since I was a new editor, it was kinda new for me and it was a great start.

___________________________________________________________________

Until I started to realize stuff😶.... such as: to much storage or... some of it is downloading from iCloud. It was super annoying but the storage part was mostly my fault. My family had used it on computer which was better on iPad / phone . And I used it on a phone, it had so many more cooler effects ... and using audio is very hard- 🙃 I have to use someone else’s audio since there’s only music ... it was terrible I’m looking at some new editing apps, and.. not going so well . And , the trailers are fun... but I’ve used a lot of them and they get boring sometimes...😕 (I recommend this if you’re new) and once you have mastered it, get a different one. You can still use imove but , this is just my opinion after all ☺️. And I really would love it if you would add green screens or backgrounds to iPad .... so far, I might change editing apps but this is a great app for beginners 🥰 so good luck everyone and I hope you have a good day/night!

SOLID 5 STARS BECAUSE…

iMovie deserves and solid five BECAUSE it’s a simple editing app and it’s free! Nor complex nothing cost money here which I literally love 😌. I have always used it a nothing got wrong until I used my OLD iPad. Now, this isn’t iMovies fault mostly mine but storage was really full so I couldn’t create stuff. But I do wish deleting your videos wouldn’t effect the videos on iMovies! I thought if you deleted it, you’d be able to still watch but no I had to recover my vids/photos and let my storage fill up. My mom isn’t a big editor, so I helped her with her very first this app video which is really helping her today! (Now it’s not hard but if you’ve never edited before you’ll think it is 😂) I do wish there were effects to add to your videos because I get kinda bored with the filters. Also, I wish there were more green/blue screen types…. I am a HUGE fan of iMovie and I hope it gets some good reviews because if you give it a 1 star for: full storage kicking you out etc, that’s your iPad. Not iMovies. If you see this, I hope you enjoy your day/night if you’re hurting, I hope you accomplish your dreams 🛌

Sincerely, a person ❤️✨

Update: uploaded 4K at 60fps... at last.

I have an iPad 6th generation, and the description of iMovie says I should be able to export at 60 FPS for 4K video. I’ve had immense difficulty uploading 4K video at 60 FPS previously, but it just worked for me. The video was extremely short, being less than three (3) minutes in length, but it did finally work.

Last week (Nov 20, 2020), I couldn’t even upload at 30 FPS if I tried to export the project as a 4K video, which was extremely irritating. That was on the shorter end of a normal-length video for me, being only 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Usually my videos are at least 7-8 minutes, as I try to aim for 10 minute videos. I would like to aim for longer videos, as my 25 minute video really took off for how small my channel is, but I’m not sure if I would be able to export that in 4K, and even if I could, I’m not sure if it would have to be 30 FPS, or if I could export it in 60 FPS.

For reference, i film exclusively in 4K 60 FPS, so all of my videos are high quality. That’s why I find it immensely irritating to have this limitation in the editing software when the description of iMovie says I can export in 4K 60 FPS and I have the 6th generation iPad, so I should be able to, yet it’s given me so much trouble when I try to. Hence the 2-star review. At least it’s gained one star.

OH MY WORD I LOVE THIS APP!!! 😍😍

Hi everybody! I love iMovie this app. It all started on one Saturday night when my friend was over. I was making a commercial for my fake toy store just for kicks and then my friend asked, “Are you using this app?” I had no clue what this app was. She said it was an app that you can make trailers and movies on it. The very next day I decided to try out this app, sense it was already on my IPad ( for some reason it came on my IPad.) I didn’t know how to work iMovie , so I just kind of left this app alone for awhile. A few days later, I was randomly at my friend’s house. We made a movie trailer on this app, but we did’t get to make the movie. That afternoon when I got home, I decided to give this app another try because I now understood how to work it after watching my friend use it. From then on, I kept on making trailers. I never do the movies, but I make SO many trailers. I make them with my friends, and my family. It’s so fun to make them and then show them to your family. Overall, I totally recommend iMovie for making
trailers. Thank you for reading, and I hope you try this app. God bless you, and stay safe.😊

Not as great as I remember

When I started using this app as an beginner’s tool a couple years back, it was very easy to use and understand. Every video I made came out exactly as I edited it, and I could do it for hours on end with no issues. Now, I have moved on to other softwares as I’ve improved, but I came back to this one to use as a base for my more simple clips and audios; plus I already knew how to use it and expected it to be just as easy as I remembered. But, coming back, I notice how it keeps crashing, whether it is a sudden black screen that forces me back to my home screen a second later, or even glitches within iMovie . For instance, I tried changing the volume of an audio by selecting it—and it split it where I had selected it?? It may sound like a small bug, but it gets very frustrating when it happens over and over again and I have to undo it. It was never like that before. Same issue with clips, sometimes it won’t even let me select one I want to crop or slow down, etc. It forces me to leave the project, iMovie itself, sometimes even to the point of turning my phone off just to get it running again—just to get it to crash again. I really hope you guys find this and fix even the small issues, this app was so brilliant before.

Garbage

iMovie could be soooo much better. 1) It crops my videos when I upload them without me knowing until the upload is finished. You have to crop the original and guess what is ideal for iMovie in order to not have important parts cut out. This is annoying when it already takes so long for iMovie to upload some of the content. 2) It takes forever to upload videos and unable to retrieve larger files above 10min from what I observe. For an iPhone app, these videos should be available off top or some of the features in camera mode should be available (like speeding up the video) in order to make viewing it in this app easier. 3) downloads from iCloud take FOREVER… so don’t delete a video from your phone in the process of editing a project or it will frustrate you greatly. 4) SLLLLOOOOWWWW…. Oh my goodness!!!! 5) Always says there’s not enough memory on phone… even though there is.

Just fix this already… I’m over it. This is why I have issue with iPhone. I was good until I was reminded of these headaches dealing with creating/editing small videos. These apps should integrate better with the the phone or there is just no point in having them on the phone. Maybe iPhone overall is just slow. I’m starting to rethink this Apple thing. I have a 12 Pro and I’m sure the same issues exist on the 13.

?????

Ok so this is not an app I downloaded T-Mobile did it for me on my iPhone 12 which i got yesterday yay! Btw I’m a kid so it’s like a big thing for me before I had the iPhone XR , anyway iMovie I have seen people make agsm’s ( American girl stop motion) but I’m not exactly sure on how to use iMovie I thought it would be where I make a scene press pause add some effects blah blah blah etc but I don’t see any features near that and I would certainly like to use iMovie but if I would download this on my own time I would kinda maybe rue the fact that I did by this I don’t mean any offense to anybody by this review but I think it’s pretty similar to the.
“ clips” app but I like clips better T-Mobile also happened to download it for me and it’s cool and easier to use I guess so maybe I’m just new and I don’t understand but if I do understand it later on I will make a new review. Wow! This is long I’m going to go now and review the other apps T-Mobile downloaded for me because I like to review apps. Hope this helps!:-). Update I’m going to try and use this for a gatcha life vid I will get back when it’s done with info

it can’t even crop a video.

iMovie is horrible. And I mean HORRIBLE. I used to use it to crop videos from the photos app on iphone but one day the option to do that disappeared from the photos app. So i went into the this app app itself. Trying to crop the video itself was a pain. Trying to crop off just a few seconds took minutes because of lag. Once i was finally able to crop my video (i only needed to crop off around a minute) the change didn’t even save! Well it did. But it wouldn’t let me download or upload my edit at all! It would SHOW me the edit i made when i went to look at the video but when i downloaded the video it just gave me the original uncropped video. So i eventually found a strange work around where it would let me download my cropped video ONLY if i cropped it while selecting it as the video i want to edit. But get this. When i finally downloaded my cropped video it was completely horrendous! There were glitches EVERYWHERE. I swear to god looking at the video for too long would cause a seizure. The screen was constantly shaking and playing between the last few frames and the next making it a completely disoriented mess. Theres no way my file was corrupted because i was literally just trying to crop a screen recording. iMovie is horrible. Use something else.

So close to my favorite movie makers

iMovie is probably the best one for video making without watermarks. I feel like it can have more. You have made a green screen which was probably my favorite thing about the update. Well I also feel like we can have cutouts. What I mean is cut something out and it would be in your videos. This will help so much for me plz and thank you. I also feel like stickers would work too. I love stickers for some reason. It just makes me feel amazing how the animate stickers look. Something that would be amazing in my series is drawing. I love drawing it just something that makes it awesome for me. In your videos you draw something and it looks just so cute. I love how they do this it’s amazing. Maybe more sound effects to I love dramatic sound effects like the horns or the punchs. I really hope you like these ideas. iMovie is easy to use which is the best thing in my entire life but you can make it better with experience.—————————————————————————————— Hope you like these and very inspired. These will help a lot for me and maybe more people. Baiii

AMAZING APP!! DOWNLOAD NOW!

Ok, so I don’t leave reviews for apps barely, but I’m going to because this is like one of my most favorite apps. So I am a small YouTuber (Triple8Gaming plz sub) and I’ve used this app since summer of 2020, (I mostly do videos on ROBLOX btw) and I’ve LOVED IT. My videos have been getting lost of views because of it. And the newest update to text and stuff is something I’ve wanted since I got it!!! And the background is something I’ve really wanted as well. this app is really awesome as well cuz u don’t have to pay money and it’s quick and ez but GREAT! You can trim on it, there’s plenty of music, but I recommend maybe some more popular music, but anyways, I totally think you should get it, because seriously, this is my favorite and best editor I got. Sure, it doesn’t do everything, but it’s still really great! But one thing. Something that I recommend for the next update is coloring, stickers, maybe some sort of cool effects you can put on, and stuff like that. But anyways, that’s it, thank you for reading this, and I hope you have a great day! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ughhh

Ok, first things first. You said that when we updated it several previous problems would be fixed. They were not. I looked at the list and none of the issues were fixed. I was excited when I got to update this app with all of the new things but my expectations were not met. It gives you the choice of either keeping the text shadow or not. I thought it made the titles look horrible so I took it away. But after two hours, the text shadow always went back on.

Next, I am having several other problems. I decided to use this app for a school project but it failed me. My dad was going over some things I should edit and I tried to adjust the time of the video so you could read the full thing, but the tool bar with actions, speed, volume, titles, and filters were not working. Three of the choices were grayed out and I was unable to change the accidental mistake.

Also, when I got a new iPad, I was also unhappy. I had saved all of the iMovies, but when I got back on iMovie , all of my previously made movies disappeared. I could not find them anywhere and all of the movies I dedicated my time too, were lost.

Glitches from iOS 12.3.1 update

Please, Please, Please Fix! I only use this app and usually love it...however, Since the latest update for my iPad that includes green screen there are a variety of issues making iMovie difficult to use....I feel very inconvenienced after having to start again and edit an hour long movie three times! Lagging start and editing, Greyed out clips and a black preview screen, glitches....overlays blacked out, some clips fine some blacked out, also after adding new clips to the edit when I press to play the movie it says it’s “downloading from iCloud” but it never does. I have iCloud Photo Library option on “Keep Originals”, and the iCloud option for this app off, yet it still tries to download from it. I even signed out of my device and but it gives the same message. If all the clips used in the project are in full resolution on my iPad, I signed out of iCloud AND I had the setting on “keep originals” why is it still trying to download from this cloud?. The other perfectly fine clips also glitch and sometimes say the same message. All the clips ultimately alternate from being fine to acting out and being blacked out and glitching. Movie taking forever to load or freezing..have tried troubleshooting by restarting the movie from scratch...Same thing happening since update.

Pretty good

I love iMovie and it is amazing I have always wanted to make movies and become a detector but the trailers make me crazy you can’t make noise from the movie like in real trailers over the music and you can only put certain amounts of clips and you can’t even choose what music and all that is so annoying I hate it like trailers are to show the awesome parts of your movie but because of all that that is impossible to do with iMovie please make that better now for the other thing iMovie has completely failed for me I can’t play on it anymore it keeps saying I need to re-download and when I do it says I have to do it again and again and again however if I ever get back into iMovie again I will play it all the time I love the it is really pretty good I just wish the the trailers were better and less defective I mean it even ruins the clips you can put in by zooming in and cropping and stuff like that I need that fixed please but minus that iMovie is amazing I just wish it would let me in cause honestly without the annoying trailers it is amazing and I love it

This app is bad

Lets start off with my first reason, this this app app does not allow you to have your own music so you cannot download a music track or song that you want unless you get a different app and share the music to this app but overall it is a hassle to do that. Second reason, this is also about the music deal, when I want to download a song, which I do from a great app Called documents, anyway when I do that it shows the song picture and then the music. You can detach the audio from the video or picture but you cannot delete the video or picture because if you delete either one of those it deletes the audio, that doesn’t make any sense why it does that. Third reason, it’s overall glitchy. For example when I want to add a picture it doesn’t give you the option to select things, which means you can select multiple pictures. It doesn’t have that Feature only at one period of time you can do that which is at the beginning. Fourth reason, when you want to do a trailer you do not have the option to edit what the trailer music is. For example I am a stop motion artist and I wanted to do a trailer for fun. But the last thing I wanted to do was add my own music, then I found out that you cannot add your own music. Wow that is also dumb.

the app is starting to crash ..

iMovie is extremely great. It it so great for comedy videos and vlogs and more. This is the one and only app I use because it’s the best..but, it’s been crashing lately all sudden..while I’m working on my video, it’ll turn the screen black and won’t let me see the video at all. also when I’m trying to split the video it wouldn’t show and when I tap on the clip it will take me back to the clip before. However, when I put sound affects into my clips, when it glitches or crashes, it will place the sound affects further back and not where I want it to be. I love iMovie but it gets me upset because I end up deleting my hard work project that I put effort in because of the crashes and how everything gets all over the place and messes the video up. I also tried saving my project before it gets worse instead of just deleting it but it told me “fail to export”. Please fix these issues because I don’t like dealing with this situation that kind of gets me upset and just wastes my time and so as other people. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Thanks you.

It’s sad, really

First!!!! Let’s start with the pros. First, the quality is decent. It’s nice that you can make trailers and post them on facebook or whatever. When your making a movie you just record stuff from your camera and it turns into little clips when you insert it into this app. Cons. When you record a trailer or movie, it doesn’t let you delete stuff from your camera. First time I used it I made a trailer for a horror movie with my brother. I watched it and I was impressed. Since the clips of video were in my camera I deleted all of the little clips and figured that I could still watch my trailer. When I went to watch the the next day, a message appeared saying that there are missing films in my trailer and I can’t watch it. That was because I deleted the clips from my camera! That’s just plain stupid, because if you expect me to actually keep 10 minute videos on my iPhone along with over 20 little clips??? That’s the biggest waste of space ever! And don’t get me started on how much storage iMovie takes up itself! Unless you want all of your iCloud storage to be depleted in 3.5 seconds, I don’t recommend iMovie. 😡

Really disappointed.

Really, for 5$ (at least it was when I bought it years ago) you'd think it'd be WAY less glitchy. No matter what I do, the same glitches seem to occur for me over the past years. I've been through three different phones, and it's a bummer because I can't find an app that is quite advanced as this one (is supposed to be). The worst thing about all of the glitches if I have to pick just one- is the audio problems. If I made a background clip MUTE, it should stay mute. Sometimes I will save a video to my phone and the entire audio will suddenly be in the background even though it wasn't there when I previewed it. Sometimes I get screechy noises on moments where I made a clip break. No matter what I do I can't seem to fix this or get it to save to my phone differently. It's really agitating seeing as how it's been years. Sigh. Please. iMovie has so much potential.

(Edit) And now I’ll probably stop using it completely because suddenly I can’t use ANY music? What the *** is this?? I paid for iMovie and can’t use any music because it’s “protected”. I’m making this video for my own personal use. I should be able to use the music on my phone. This broke my heart. Thanks this app

TRAILER MAKER IS SO FRUSTRATING

iMovie is pretty good and has a decent movie maker, but it has some issues. I’m not getting an crashes but it does need more features. I think iMovie would be a lot better if it had some more trailer making options. You should have an option to make videos in the trailer maker have sound instead of just music. Also the music and backdrops and effects should be editable. It’s stupid that you can’t edit it. Also more genres would be funnier. It’s really difficult to get the right feel for the movie. And the thing I want the absolute most? I want the videos I film IN iMovie to stop going TO MY CAMERA. I’m a neat freak about my phone storage and I can’t film one thing without my storage getting all filled up with stupid mini shots and it’s SO LAME. It made me really mad especially because I always have to delete them so they don’t hog my storage! If these problems were fixed it would be totally perfect but it’s not which made me so sad because I can’t find any other apps with a decent trailer maker. Also one more thing the teen trailer maker is so hard to work with because of the random images in the backdrop not matching the text. SO ANNOYING! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

App won’t open

Okay, I’m just going to say that I love iMovie and I use It ALL the time. But, last night the video was about 20 minutes long and iMovie got SUPER Slow. It took hours to edit something that shouldn’t have. I’ve never had this problem before so I don’t know what’s wrong. this morning I was working on the project And got out of iMovie temporarily and tried to get back on and it won’t allow me to get back on since! I was really looking forward to making the finishing touches and showing my family but now I cannot. I thought it may have something to do with a storage problem so I got rid of 13 Gigs of storage and it STILL won’t open! I’ve restarted iMovie countless times, and restarted my phone and yet it still won’t let me open iMovie . Aaahhhggg help!! This is the first time I’ve had issues with iMovie . And I don’t want to loose all the hard work I’ve put into this and many other videos as well. Please help

a few things you really need to fix (READ)

it used to be really good, but lately it's been having trouble. i have an iphone 7 so i know it's not my phone. here's a few things you could fix:
1. let us crop it instead of having it always stay horizontal. i have vertical videos i put on there and it puts borders on the side and zooms straight in to the middle. if that's what you call a great editing app, i've seen better. i like lots of the features on this app, but it's hard to use.
2. sometimes when i'm editing it just stops and doesn't let me change anything and moves the clips around where i dont want them. so i press done then edit it again and the video just goes black and i can't even play it. that's my main issue because i always have to keep starting over and it doesn't even let me save the video after it breaks.
3. maybe have the quality a little better? i press the highest quality when i'm done and it comes out much worse than before i even put it in this app.
please give thought to actually fixing it, because iMovie does have very good features, but it makes editing confusing and way harder than it needs to be.

Why I think it’s good

So I know you guys had some bad reviews, but it looks fine to me. I don’t know am I crazy? Are people over reacting? I don’t really make movies I just make trailers, I don’t know if there is something wrong with movies but everything seems fine with trailers. I mean overall it’s good. There was another app where everything there you needed to buy. I glad you can actually film in this one. Me and my friends love making trailers on iMovie. I hope it doesn’t get shut down. To be honest I don’t think anything is wrong with it. I just never make movies maybe someone makes movies and is really mad it’s broken. But you shouldn’t really care about audio anyways. At least they gave you music. You should enjoy iMovie . The only complaint I have is I’m on an iPad and I used this app on a computer once and the computer has more trailers? Is it a new update? Honestly I still love this app. Thank you.

I love iMovie, I hate iMovie

APPLE PLEASE LISTEN TO ME

For the past 3 years, I have been creating movies using the beautifully simple and somewhat intuitive this app app on iPhone, that once I learned how to use, opened and closed so many doors. On one hand, my editing skills got better, my creativity got better, and I could pull out shots from videos using this app that I wouldn’t have been able to use otherwise. Now on the other hand, the glitches. They have destroyed countless videos of mine due to the obvious stick-and-glue creation of iMovie and the complete lack of thought put into it. I swear any time nowadays I try to make a video, it crashes and all my music and audio is moved over a couple seconds and there goes my video. I edited a feature length long vlog that took me 2 months to edit because after a while of editing the various transitions between clips would be erased and replaced with what made it seem like a painful blink between clips. I have had it while I’m exporting the video to my camera roll, some of the audio is just taken out. APPLE I will gladly show you all of the videos I have with your various glitches. Please just FIX this app!!

Had some issues :/

I started out using this app for a class project, and because I discovered the trailer options, I began to use it for fun. I used videos of my friends to make funny movies of them because, why not? Eventually, I began to use this app on my MacAir, and that was when I realized what iMovie was missing. Since most of my videos were vertical, there was no way on iMovie for me to crop them to size and PLACEMENT of my choice. iMovie will take the vertical videos and fit them to a landscape layout, but it crops off the edges. When dealing with videos of people, this would mean that the template crops out their heads, and there is no way to adjust the videos so that I can reposition the window (on iMovie ). Also, in iMovie ’s trailer mode, I can’t seem to find a way to add a filter to individual clips like I can on the computer. Since I discovered all these missing features, the this app player on my computer is acting up, leaving it completely unusable. Now that I am forced to use iMovie , you can see how frustrated I am with the lack of options available. I highly recommend an update.

It’s keeps crashing

I’m trying to like iMovie but I can’t it’s so frustrating to edit on. Ever time I what to a put a song on my video it’s starts to the beginning and not where I want it to go. iMovie keeps crashing and I have to keep leaving iMovie and coming back. Sometimes it pausing out of nowhere and the music keeps playing. I don’t have time for this I just want edit my video and get it over. This is giving me a headache trying to figure what’s going on. My clips keep disappearing or the music sometimes it just moves to a different spot where I didn’t put it. I like KineMaster better even if it has a watermark it gets the job without frustrating I wanted to change my editing app because it had a watermark but now I really just want to go back to iMovie because it much easier to handle. Can you please fix this I have two videos to editing and it’s not going to get the job with these problems. Someone already address these problems it’s been a month and nothing happened yet.

Very good, but...

So I enjoy iMovie a lot, and I use it to edit a lot of my videos. There are some changes I would recommend, though. Firstly, please fix the bug that makes hidden photos and videos viewable in the video sidebar. Secondly, please add more trailer templates and text templates. It’s basically stayed the same over the years, and it’d be great to have some new text templates trailer templates. And lastly, please add more music, and sound effects. Currently, I’ve heard just about every stock music track on this app (mobile) so maybe you could add some music from the desktop version, or maybe even compose some more? Also, about the sound effects on this app, and it’d be great if you could add more, again, like the desktop version. Please take some of these ideas into consideration, but please don’t feel obliged to add in every single one. With all of these ideas, this app could be one of the BEST editing apps on mobile phones. Thank you!!

Sincerely,
Christopher Oki

Horrible in the past, but now starting to get back on track.

I’ve owned iMovie for about maybe 5 years now? Ever since I got my first iPad, I have fallen in love with iMovie and caught myself using it many, many times again.

However, it did get frustrating editing videos eventually, as there were many unsolved bugs and glitches. I used to hate this app because of this.

What’s even worse is that I can’t really disable features I don’t like such as videos and pictures you take automatically saves to your camera roll so it’s easier to accidentally delete something and ruin your video.

These problems are being fixed as we speak, but even then, they still exist. I’ve learned to accept it.

However, with that being said, there is one feature that definitely stands out to me from all the others.

iCloud downloading.

iCloud downloading is the bane of my existence. No matter how many times it downloads everything, it always comes back and wastes 10 minutes of your time when all you want to do is preview the video.

It shows up EVERY TIME I try to watch/edit one of my videos. I don’t understand the point of this! All of the videos are successfully downloaded onto my camera roll!

What’s even worse is that I cannot disable it in settings, iCloud, or any other branch of this app I could possibly get my hands on.

It’s a fallacy that people would like this feature, I don’t even understand the point of it at all.

Hoping for a developer’s response?
