iMovie for Mac lets you enjoy your videos like never before. Browse your clips easily, instantly share your favorite moments, and create Hollywood‑style trailers and beautiful movies at stunning 4K resolution. You can even start editing on iPhone or iPad, and finish on a Mac. And when you’re ready to premiere your movie on all your devices, iMovie Theater rolls out the red carpet.
If you have an iPhone or iPad, not to mention a camcorder or digital camera, you probably have a lot of great video. View all your photos and video clips in the redesigned Media browser and when inspiration strikes, easily turn them into the next great movie or trailer.
Movies were meant for the dark.
The Media browser makes it easy to view all the photos and videos on your Mac, with a side-by-side layout that’s great for landscape and portrait video. Which means you can see more, more easily.
Connect with your audience. Easily.
With iMovie, you can share a clip — or a portion of a clip — right from the Media browser without having to create a movie or trailer. Just select a clip and click Share to publish it on the web, email it, or add it to iMovie Theater so you can watch it on all your devices.
Make movies
Rated S for simple.
It’s never been easier to make it in the movies. Just choose the clips you want to use. Insert titles, add effects, and create a full soundtrack with powerful tools that are as simple as drag and drop. iMovie even supports 4K video for stunning cinema-quality films. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a wrap.
A theme for any scene.
Themes make your movies look fun and professional, and they’re easy to use. Choose from 15 ready‑made movie themes, each with its own matching titles and transitions. Put your video into a colorful scrapbook, transform it into a professional news broadcast, or give it a playful feel.
Find your movies. Faster.
A dedicated projects tab makes it easier than ever to find and open the movies and trailers you’ve created. A beautifully rendered still from each of your projects gives you a snapshot of each one. And you can quickly search or filter, so as your library grows, you can quickly locate any movie or trailer.
Now anyone can make a scene.
If you know how to drag and drop, you can make movies. Turn your film into a period piece with professional video filters. Slow down or speed up the action. And create advanced green-screen, picture-in-picture, and split-screen effects with a few quick clicks. You can even edit your 4K video with pixel-perfect accuracy on your iMac with Retina 5K display.
Change your tune. And dialogue. And sound effects.
Drop in sound effects and a musical score from the built‑in sound effects library, iTunes, or GarageBand. You can even record your own narration. And color‑coded audio waveforms let you see what you hear, so it’s easy to adjust volume and add fades to any clip.
Create trailers
Hollywood. You can make it here.
You have hundreds of videos. And one big dream to make it in the movies. iMovie takes care of the editing and lets you quickly create fun trailers from all that footage — and make it look like something straight out of Hollywood.
90 seconds to fame.
It’s fast and easy to build your big‑screen teaser. Fill in the outline with your movie title, studio logo, and character names. Then add videos and photos to the storyboard with animated drop zones that suggest the best clips, so you can be sure your debut is a hit.
The feel-good trailer of the year.
Choose from 29 trailer templates in almost every genre: adventure, documentary, romantic comedy, superhero, and more. Spectacular graphics and titles soar across the screen, while legendary performers — including the London Symphony Orchestra — provide an original soundtrack.
