THANK YOU! After literally over 25 "How to 'Edit' in iMovie" vids, this is the ONLY one that actually explained how to edit out parts from the middle of a video, and explained it simply. :) :)

this is perfect for someone who never use imovie before like me, thanks!
A life saver!!! KZread should put your video as the number 1 recommended for beginners. Concise and went right into the basics needed by every new user. Thank you a milli
This. Video. Is. Awesome! I’ve looked at a ton of “Tutorials” on editing iMovie and they all either bounce around the screen too fast and/or talk to you like you’ve done it 100 times and skipping over major sections without explaining how they got there. Well done sir! You’ve earned a subscriber!
This was incredibly helpful! I've watched multiple tutorials that left me a little frustrated. This one covered everything in a very clear and simple way; I now know what I need to get started editing in iMovie. I was able to follow along and create a practice video, watching this tutorial, then pausing and executing the steps as they were instructed. Thank You!!

Couldn't have said it better ! By far the best and most actionable one I have came across!
Just came across your video via search. This was unbelievably helpful. Straight and to the point. Truly appreciate it.
Thank you Nate! This is excellent, I looked all over youtube for a "getting started" video about iMovie on a mac, and this is the best. You hit all the basics, love the sound adjustments for music AND voice, mid video editing and exporting. I would LOVE another short followup video, just explaining more nuances of editing, exporting, keeping organized files for for video. You are excellent at explaining and demonstrating how to do it. There are those of us who are not trained in video, but need short simple videos to complete and explain what we do or market what we do. Thank you again!
This is absolutely brilliant. No messing about, just the basics to get you started without all the waffle of other tutorials. Thank you. It is in my bookmarks and used regularly.
Omg! The part where you zoom in to make it easier to edit saved my life! Thank you so much ☺️
Excellent! I studied this over and over again and then viewed it while I edited my first video for KZread! Of course I haven’t uploaded it yet LOL but I found this unbelievably helpful. Thank you!
Wow!!! This is literally the first video I've watched to learn how to edit as a beginner and you're the BEST. Everything was well explained, anyone who happens to stumble upon my comment while watching the video, PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO his explanations were on point and everything's so easy and straight forward. I HIGHLY recommend everyone who's now learning to edit to watch this video.
Best tutorial video I've seen! THANK YOU! I love that you get right to it and don't "over-talk" just to hear yourself talk, like so many other videos out there. Really well done!
You have the best video for beginners! I only use yours for guidance. THANK YOU
Thanks so much for this! Really clear and concise explanation. I’ve always wondered how youtubers pull off certain things with their editing and it seemed scarily complex when I didn’t know how the process works (the picture in picture thing, for example!), but this is a knowledge AND confidence boost.
Wow, I have been putting off creating videos on my MacBook(s) for at least 12 years now. I feel like you’ve given me such a wonderful head start on this. Very intuitive and covered just the right amount and I loved it.
SO happy this was the first video I came across to find out how to edit on iMovie. It had EVERYTHING I needed in less than 10 minutes and explained simply. Soooo helpful thank you
This is by FAR the most helpful video!!!
I am finding your videos most helpful. I'm wanting to make craft videos but I can see that I could make my Sunday School classes more interesting using videos. The kids love any type of video. It really gets their attention. The possibilities.....
THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU!!! I watched multiple tutorials but didnt get what i was looking for, you explained everything so clearly, concisely, simply and perfectly! thank you so much!
its year 2020 and I just learn it today. haha. thank you for the i movie tutorial.
This is excellent, it covers everything a beginner needs to know. Unlike other videos that leave out key parts and leave you frustrated. On top of that it's shorter than the rest I watched. Better & quicker - that'll work.

I learned a lot in a few minutes, more than I have with other videos. Thank you for getting right to the task at hand with no fluff or promos!

Thank you so much for this! You made everything seem so simple and straightforward. Really helped me with my school projects.
The best iMovie tutorial I found, the only one that SHOWED how to save to files and check the little clock in upper right corner to see how the file saving speed.
Thank you finally some and somethings that help me
Thank you. I'm just starting my youtube channel and this was VERY helpful!!!
What can I say, you absolute legend. So simple enough tutorial, that even I can now make my own iMovie!! Been wanting to do this for ages, thanks a million. Thanks.
So succinct and straightforward. Love it.
I want to start a youtube channel and I need an editing platform. I want to use iMovie and I didn't know how until this! Thank you! This tutorial was very easy to follow and useful, just what I was looking for :)
this was so helpful, i didn't know anything in iMovie before i watched you. Thank you :)
📹 📽 🏆 Being new to iMovie, I've now watched more than a dozen "how-to" videos about iMovie and this one is the best. Nate knows everything about iMovie and in this beginner video he clearly and slowly explains how to get started with it for neophytes like me. Well done!
5 years later, Dec 2022, and this video rocks. You just earned a new subscriber!
Just like to add my vote of thanks as well. Great teaching!
thanks, edited a whole makeup tutorial from this :)
Excellent tutorial! Thank you. This is the first one I’ve found for iMovie that actually helped me.
Thank you this was super helpful
The BEST imovie overview I have ever seen :)
Bless you for making this
Simple, professional and to the-point-video. Worthy of a "Ted Talk" presentation. Very lucky to have found it.
Thanks, I've been looking for a video that starts with the basics of iMovie, all the other vids I looked at skipped over all of the info that you covered.
this is BESTTTT tutorial i have seen so far!

Appreciate this! 2 years later and your video is still helpful!
very good and love your tutorial . learn a lot
This was very helpful, I learned a lot in a short 8:39. TWO THUMBS UP!
Thank you. Thank you for making it seem easy and removing the fear that something is sooo impossible to user/create. Thank you again.
Thank you! This was so so helpful - but most importantly - succinct! You told me just what I needed to know (and a couple of things I didn't think I needed to know but it turns out I did) without all the blah blah blah of other tutorials. So grateful to you for doing this!
Thank you! This was very helpful!
AAH THANKS NOW I CAN ACTUALLY EDIT MY VIDEOS IM SO HAPPY THANKS SO MUCH
Thank you! This is so easy to understand for someone who is going to just open iMovie for the first time.
Simple. Clear. Excellent! Thanks so much for the quick and easy tutorial!
Wow, its tough for me to learn and I totally understood this video!
Thanks! Well done.
This 8 min video encapsulated all the basics that a newbie needs to get started in simple media production of home movies. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
I was able to start editing my videos myself after watching this last year. Here I am again from time to time coming to refresh. Thank you!
This is incredibly helpful. THANK YOU!

Very good and helpful you explain ed everything so well :)
Thank you Nate, this is just the simple and clear instruction I needed to link two different videos for my on-line music lesson submission with an added bonus of the title pages. You are a great instructor!
You are a wonderful teacher! I got all I needed in just a couple of minutes for my simple video to send to clients.
I had to write about an iMovie tutorial for a school project in an evaluation form, and I thought you might appreciate seeing it as it is somewhat in-depth feedback. Great video, btw! iMovie Basics (2017) is extremely helpful and well made. It covers everything that a beginner would need to know to create their own video in iMovie. TechTeacherNate is very helpful and includes all the basics from trimming video, to adding audio, to exporting and publishing the video after it has been edited. This video starts off by covering the very basics of adding video and audio to your video. TechTeacherNate does not do what many people do and skip the most basic parts such as which button to press, as most people who know how to do these things view them as common knowledge and self explanatory. TechTeacherNate goes over all these little things, which makes his video extremely easy to follow even for the newest user. During this, he also shows the viewer where they can get some of the clips he gets for his video so that they may use it too. He does this by first pointing the viewer to the iMovie audio library and then to the KZread free audio library. This is very good because people are able to then go out and get these free resources to use in their own videos as well as helping people to follow the video more easily. The video then shows the viewer how to do various different edits within iMovie such as transitions and adding text, images and voiceover. He shows every single step along the way, which makes the video very easy to follow. He also describes the shortcuts which can be used in iMovie, which can make life easier for new users, because they then don’t have to remember where all the buttons and menus are, and they can then make the video quicker and easier than without the aforementioned shortcuts. Finally, the video shows how to export and publish the video, which is, of course, helpful because it shows new users how to export and publish their new videos. Overall, the narrator was clear and concise, covering all the detail that was needed for a new user of iMovie, without making anything too complicated or adding more detail than was needed while also managing to show viewers where they too can access some useful resources such as free audio from iMovie and KZread.

Best tutorial I have watched, clear simple and to the point. I find other videos go into too much detail and end up confusing me! Thank you
very good sir
Fun fact : everyone searched this up ;)
Clear. Crisp. Concise. Helpful. compared to others. Thank you!!!
One of the best videos I have seen in youtube for imovies ! Thanks u r a pro! And, a good trainer!
Great tutorial! If I create a photo slide show and want every photo to last 7 seconds between transitions, is there a way to change the slide duration for all slides at once or do you have to drag each one individually? Thanks!
@TechTeacherNate

I believe you have to do each one individually. There are slide show makers that would allow you to do them all the same length, but iMovie is not really made for that.
how can you only have 50 subs??
I haven't done an iMovie in a while and need a quick tutorial, this video was perfect!
The best imovie tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks!
I feel like I should pay you for this...
Thank you very much! Finally a clear, no-nonsense tutorial! 🙏🏾
Thank you so so much!!! I've been on IMovie all day getting mad at myself until I found this! It has helped me a lot
This is one of the best I Movies videos I have seen, easy to understand ! Thanks
Had to leave a comment to thank you for this simplistic yet informative video! I learned a lot in a small frame of time. Much appreciated.
Thank you. Excellent tutorial on using iMovie for someone with little or no video editing experience
Thanks man! Thank you for this! No crap or very high end, the basics what I actually was looking for, video serves the title truly. Trustworthy!
THANK YOU!!! So clear, so simple, so helpful. 🙏🏼
Very helpful!! the real mvp's are those who make tutorials!
Thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out (not literally,!) just trying to trim. You were the only one I could find to help me learn how to trim out sections using command b. I appreciate you! so much!!!
That was great! Thank you!
This was the PERFECT explanation. Exactly what I was looking for as a little refresh!
Awesome tutorial thank you! I'm versed in Final Cut and this looks like a great software and easy to use
