  • Julie Main
    An excellent introduction or refresher to iMovie. I watched three YouTube videos prior to this which were recommended by AI. The presenters made assumptions and allowed you to watch them performing editing tasks without actually showing you where the features are. This tutorial has a calm presenter who explains confidently and professional. He shows alternative ways to achieve results and leaves you with the skills you need to go and produce your own edits. Highly recommend.
