Considered Both Products	Apple Amanda Khan Client Coordinator / IT Recruiter in Human Resources at Odessa Major Organization Limited (Financial Services, 11-50 employees) Chose iMovie Both Pinnacle and iMovie have similar features and capabilities. Most of the pros of iMovie has been posted in my review already but I would say the most positive aspect of iMovie is the fact that it is pre-installed on Apple products so you don't have to buy it, compared to … Incentivized Helpful? François Lavallée president in Human Resources at Aliter Concept® (Professional Training & Coaching, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie produce professional quality video without the advanced but complicated features of professional softwares. OF course it has its limits compare to professional applications but the key here is when to use which application I use Final Cut frequently for larger video … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose iMovie iMovie is free for Apple devices, and it have a plus with that. The other software are for pay and are a little bit more complicated to use. iMovie is fast, intuitive, and have and extended free library with free royalties to use in different platforms of social media or video … Incentivized Helpful? Tim Corbett General Manager in Corporate at Infinite Energy Construction, inc (Construction, 51-200 employees) Chose iMovie Not as easy to use as iMovie, and a similar cost structure. iMovie is easier for Apple users / and MS users, to both get proficient at. Movie Maker isn't bad, it just isn't as slick as iMovie. We actually used MovieMaker for a couple of years before migrating most users over to … Incentivized Helpful? Matías Arévalo Larenas Socio y Director Comercial in Marketing at Hualle (Design, 11-50 employees) Chose iMovie IMovie is way easier to use and the result regarding social media content is almost the same (obviously depending on what do you want to do or expect). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose iMovie Final Cut Pro can be expensive if you are not ready to fully divulge in video content for your brand/company. iMovie is a great starting place as it's easier to understand how to use it (in terms of UI/UX) and great for a team just starting out/figuring out a strategy for their … Incentivized Helpful? Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder in Corporate at WalletWin (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie We use Adobe Premiere Pro, screenflow, and iMovie. All for different things. If we're doing heavy editing, some effects, and overlays, we use Premiere. If we're recording a bunch of stuff all at once and doing a screen record, we record with screenflow and edit while we're … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose iMovie Other tools are available but most of them are paid while iMovie is free. iMovie is easy to learn and anyone can get started quickly with it. Some built-in effects are available with one-touch import so you can import them and just needed to add context in it, you are ready to … Incentivized Helpful? Kelly Reumann Lead Graphic Designer/ Marketing in Marketing at CyberCartel International Inc. (Retail, 51-200 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie has its place in the world of video editing software. It's definitely not the fanciest on the market but it is simple and easy to use and gets the job done and done well! There are times where I'll gravitate toward iMovie because I just don't need the extra features that … Incentivized Helpful? Rene Agredano Advocacy Journalist and Co-Founder in Finance and Accounting at Tripawds.com (Veterinary, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie I have an iPhone and recently bought a Macbook, so it was a natural choice. YouTube's movie creator was basic and not nearly as functional as iMovie (although I just wish the two worked together when creating movies). My Mac-based coworker says he used to use After Effects but … Incentivized Helpful? Nicole (Burke) Rosario Owner in Corporate at The MOD Pros (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie is less expensive and a great alternate for the lay user. Incentivized Helpful? Nicole Glover Technology Coordinator, Junior Kindergarten-Grade 12 in Information Technology at Louisville Collegiate School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose iMovie I haven't been able to find a comparable solution for what I need for video editing. Incentivized Helpful? Cedric Haynes Videographer at Lonell Multimedia (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie is just as good and a lot cheaper than the competition. For my simple projects, it works well. For more advanced tasks, I outsource the work to better video editors and they usually work with Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. There’s no need for me to upgrade to anything else … Incentivized Helpful? Joel McAfee Producer in Professional Services at lilDRAGON (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie is not a pro video editor like FCPX or Adobe - however if you are entry level and not looking to advance further, I'd recommend staying there. If you plan to get more experienced in the industry, I'd leave it behind in an instance and move on to a pro editor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose iMovie iMovie was way better when it came to the likes of Filmora and Windows Movie Maker. Both look amateurish, and Filmora is even paid to begin with. The ability to match and sync audio unto a much smaller fraction of a second, the overall smoothness of product, and the easy to use … Incentivized Helpful? Ali Rauch Director of Marketing in Marketing at Chicken Salad Chick (Restaurants, 1001-5000 employees) Chose iMovie This can be a bit overly complex to a novice and iMovie tends to be more beginner. We are not classically trained video people so that helps us do a better job with iMovie. Incentivized Helpful? Dan Talvi Audio / Visual Coordinator at GST BOCES (Religious Institutions, 11-50 employees) Chose iMovie While iMovie worked for our organization for a while, we eventually moved to other software to create our video media content. iMovie was a great fit for entering into the realm of video content creation, but lacked the functionality provided by Final Cut Pro X and Adobe … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Stein Wellness Business Coach in Marketing at JasonStein.com (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose iMovie screenflow and iMovie serve different purposes; however, I find iMovie easier to use for beginners. Incentivized Helpful? Chris McCarthy Chief Creative Officer in Marketing at Creating The Future Today - a division of Sealed Speed, Inc. (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose iMovie We like Snagit, and still use it too. But IMovie is much more extensive an application and really let us grow our video content market. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose iMovie I have used Adobe After Effects. After Effects is perfect for creating animated title cards as well as video and audio splicing. The basic nature of iMovie means little to no lag, whereas After Effects may suffer from this (especially with larger audio files). However, if you … Incentivized Helpful? Catheline Shin Director of Marketing Communications in Marketing at Almaden Country Day School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose iMovie Adobe Premier is complicated for the non film student. Can you get it to work well for you? Of course, but not without considerable learning. Incentivized Helpful? Dave Becker Content Manager in Marketing at The Next Street (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie is kind of like Premiere Pro Lite. You can create videos, easily, and export them, but you don't get the fine tuning and control that you get with Premiere Pro. That being said, Premiere Pro is much more expensive, and takes a much longer time to learn. It made more … Incentivized Helpful? Jackie Bassett CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in Corporate at NEJM Group (Hospital & Health Care, 11-50 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie has all the capability most video producers need. Great videos are made in the editing because the right content is already there. Adobe has a great product but their editing software doesn't have to be that intense, as when it is, it takes away from the great creative … Incentivized Helpful? Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst in Information Technology at CymSTAR, LLC (Defense & Space, 201-500 employees) Chose iMovie iMovie compares very well with Premiere's and Final Cut's basic video and audio editing and for simple transitions. For the heavier lifting, you'll need a better application. iMovie isn't meant to be a Hollywood-level application but it can hold its own for most things. It's … Incentivized Helpful?
