Works a treat for me, even on more extensive editing.

I have been using iMovie for the last 5-6 years making videos as I wanted something basic and fast to use. I find this very easy to use and for a free software that comes with the computer I have been able to earn money from it daily, I find it performs perfectly most of the time. I edit on my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro and it works a treat, I store my projects on an external SSD drive instead of taking up space on my main drive. I wish they would add more layouts for text and be able to move it around like you can do in Final Cut Pro which I also use, I keep this on my computer for those simple and quick edits I want to do.
GUTTED by Catalina

I loved imovie in highschool, and edited my final VCA film on it. I have since done film degrees and been taught to use more advanced software, but nothing I've learned to use so far can compare to the intuitive ease and application of Imovie. It even convinced me to abandon windows computers and buy a Macbook. However, when I downloaded the new version of the app onto my brand spanking new laptop, I was devistated to find it had been stipped to bare bones. Not only that, but the new opperating system, Catalina, actually BARRED me from being able to use the older version of the imovie softwear. I understand that apple is trying to make it more beginner friendly, but I PRAY that they will release a version with all the old features. They have taken what was a brilliant entry level industry quality softwear, and turned it into what is essentially windows movie maker (aka editing hell for all you mac users). Please apple, Please hear my prayers! Even if its two seperate programs, Imovie express (for beginners) and Imovie Advanced (with all your amazing old features).
Love This App!

I have been using iMovie for years. I have used it for editing my videos and it is quick and easy. Honestly it is my favourite editing app. I have been wanting to go more advanced. But I am not that experienced. Sometimes I have a problem getting in and out of that app on my mac. I have a Macbook Air 13". I have been it for a very long time and it still freezes when I try to drag a video or audio. It is really annoying sometimes. But I still love using it through all of the struggles and fustrations. Thank you for making this app special to me. MP25 Studios
Bring back Catalina compatibility

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro, which means that MacOSX Big Sur is not compatible with my machine; because of this I have not updated my OS, and I am still on Catalina. However, iMovie decided to update itself in the background and this new version is not compatible with Catalina. It refuses to open and prompts me to update to Big Sur...BUT I WON'T BECAUSE MY LAPTOP IS TOO OLD TO HANDLE BIG SUR. I just want to edit simple videos. But it looks like I am locked out of iMovie forever, at least on this computer. And for some reason I cannot install a previous version of iMove that DOES work; I find that the most upsetting of all things, I would not mind if I could still use an older version. The cherry on top is that Apple refuses to provide support for my laptop anymore, so getting help with this issue seems impossible. This is very anti-consumer on Apple's part. Shame on you.
