If you’re a little bit more comfortable with video editing, then Movie is the better option to choose when creating a new project (you cannot swap between project types - if you change your mind, you’ll need to create a new one from scratch).Ī Movie project’s interface is very similar to Final Cut Pro X, making it an easy pathway to Apple’s more advanced interface. It’s pretty much the fastest way you can create an impressive looking and fun video, and Apple offers you 29 templates to play with to limit the repetitiveness of your videos. The Storyboard and Shot List sections show you the types of clips this trailer needs, either in chronological order (Storyboard) or grouped by type (Shot List).ĭrag your clips into those placeholders, fill in those titles, and you have in a matter of minutes a very effective trailer of your event. The Outline is where all the titles are located. If you don’t know anything about video editing, this is the way forward: select one of the templates and the bottom half of the interface presents you with the Outline, Storyboard and Shot List.

Conversely, a Trailer is a pre-designed construct, with ready-made titles and effects, and a series of placeholders. A movie gives you complete control over the edit. IMovie offers you two main options: a Movie or a Trailer (a third option, only available from the MenuBar, facilitates the creation of App Previews for developers).

The Movie interface is a simplified version of Final Cut Pro X’s Interface and editing
