Creating Your First iProject

  1. Launch iMovie:  Tap the + button to create a new project. You can choose between a Movie and a Trailer.  Choose Movie for today.

  2. Choose a Theme:  You can tap the play button to watch a preview of each style.

  3. Create Movie:  This is the editing screen, with your videos to the right, a preview monitor on the left and, running across the bottom, the timeline, which is currently blank.

  4. Choose Videos:  Tap on a video and it will be highlighted in yellow. You can drag the left- and right-hand edges to trim the clip before you add it to the timeline, or you can add the whole clip (by tapping the downward arrow) and trim it later.

  5. Transitions:  After you add another video, you will see the transition icon between the clips. Tap it and the options appear at the bottom.

  6. Adding Audio:  Tap the Audio button at the top-right corner of the screen. You can choose iMovie’s own music, or any other music on your iPad. Select a song and tap the downward arrow to add it to the timeline.

  7. Finalizing Video:  Tap the back-pointing arrow in the top-left corner and you can tap on the title to edit it. The play button lets you watch the movie full-screen.  You can then share or save your video.
