Considered Both Products
iMovie
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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).
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Chose iMovie
I haven't been able to find a comparable solution for what I need for video editing.
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 …
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.
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 …
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.
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 …
Chose iMovie
ScreenFlow and iMovie serve different purposes; however, I find iMovie easier to use for beginners.
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.
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 …
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
InVideo AI
Chose InVideo AI
I also used Powtoon for video-making service before InVideo. I am using InVideo for the last year and I found it very beneficial & effective than Powtoon because InVideo provides lots of features like Bulk Uploading, Closed captions, Engagement Tracking, Inside the Video …

iMovie is a great editing tool for beginners and users with little to no experience. If you are looking for a simple, straight forward way to edit your videos without having any training, this is the tool for you. If you are looking for a robust and very advanced editing platform, you may wish to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • File management. This is one of the tricky things that is not a benefit if you are a pro user, however iMovie has a built in file management system that makes sure all the files you are using in your edit are carried along with the project file. It's easy to lose these files as it typically requires manual organization - however iMovie does it for you, automatically.
  • The editing UI is designed for a modern generation. No longer are we connected to the manual cutting and pasting of the moviola era, it's a drag and drop friendly platform for the digital generation.
  • Auto save is another huge feature. You never lose progress due to forgetting to hit command + S.

  • The quota of downloads never refreshes by itself for us and when its more than a month we face difficulty in downloads.
  • When reached to them, everytime ask for purchase record, being a tech company we expect them to have all the records intacts
  • For first they try to stall us that oh you might have consumed the refreshed data, but when you show them the count they finally refresh it.
  • Its a pain point for us every month.

Cons
  • Exporting. You’d think this would be more intuitive but the language Apple uses is a little bizarre...you can choose to save it as a theater project or as a file but it’s not super clear.
  • Fine tuning. Sometimes you need an exact moment where to stop audio and start a person talking and it can be difficult to get that level of detail to match up.
  • Tutorials. It would be nice for iMovie to have some quick and dirty tutorials for you to take within the software as many others do but as far as I can tell there is no such thing.

Usability
Once again, iMovie is a fast application. It's easy to use and navigate through. It has never frozen or glitched. There is an auto-save feature which helps you to easily close and re-open the software and continue from where you left off. Being an Apple product I do believe there is a level of superiority that surpasses Windows as well.

Support Rating
Apple does a great job supporting its products. I have never encountered trouble that could not be solved through chat or email. The knowledgebase section of the website, video tutorials online and various user forums also help with most issues. If after using all of these avenues you still have an issue, it may be time for you to outsource your project to a professional!

I also used Powtoon for video-making service before InVideo. I am using InVideo for the last year and I found it very beneficial & effective than Powtoon because InVideo provides lots of features like Bulk Uploading, Closed captions, Engagement Tracking, Inside the Video Search, Speed Adjustment, Video Looping, and much more which are not provided by Powtoon. That is the main reason to choose InVideo against it.

  • It helps us to increase our business profits.
  • Their customer support is very good and quick, hence we can easily solve any problem within just few hours.
