iMovie

Turn your videos into movie magic.

With iMovie, it’s never been easier to create memorable, cinema‑quality videos and let your imagination run wild. Edit videos on the fly or explore iMovie on your Mac. Design your masterpiece from scratch or get help shaping your story with the new Magic Movie and Storyboards on iPhone or iPad.

Magic Movie

Instant movies, styled and edited. That’s magic.

Magic Movie lets you instantly create styled, edited videos complete with titles, transitions, even music — in just a few taps. Select media or an album from your library, then Magic Movie identifies the best parts of the footage and automatically creates an edit. Experiment with different video looks by choosing from over 20 styles. Easily rearrange or delete clips from a simplified list of your shots and modify the details with tools for clip trimming, splitting and more. And hear the magic as your music dynamically recomposes to the length of your project.

Storyboards

Design your story.
Shot by shot.

Learn video storytelling or sharpen your skills with the new Storyboards. The pre-made video templates guide you through the movie-making process. Choose from 20 storyboards based on popular genres like Cooking, Product Reviews or Science Experiments. Each storyboard includes a shot list with examples to guide you through capturing footage, organising clips and learning different story structures. Easily save your storyboard video to your Photos library to share widely on social, or send to a friend directly via Messages or Mail.

Cinematic Mode

Shift the focus.
Shape your story.

When it comes to cinematic storytelling, you’re in the director’s seat. You can import and edit video clips captured in Cinematic mode1 on iPhone 13 — for more artistic, professional‑looking scenes with minimal effort. Modify the depth-of-field effect in already captured material and add and delete focus points to help guide the audience through your story. You can even add and adjust Cinematic mode videos directly in the new Storyboards feature to help shape your story.

Soundtracks, Simplified

Rock your video with over 100 smart soundtracks on iOS that intelligently adjust to match the length of your movie. You can also add built-in sound effects or record your own voiceover to create a video that sounds as good as it looks.

Make an Impact

Say anything.
Any way you want.

Whether you’re making a silent film, moving a story forward or simply have something to say, iMovie titles and backgrounds let you quickly create personalised title cards, credits and more on your iPhone and iPad. Easily customise titles by choosing your favourite fonts and colours, pinching to scale, placing them over photos or videos, and then positioning them onscreen wherever you like. You can select background colours, gradients and patterns, adjust title and background durations, or even add a graphic or logo to make your mark.

Appear Anywhere

Transport yourself with green-screen effects.

Go everywhere you’ve always wanted to — without leaving home. With green-screen effects, you can place yourself or your characters in exotic locations with a tap or a click. Masking controls and strength adjustments let you fine-tune the effect for maximum believability.

Create Trailers

The feel-good trailer
of the year.

You have hundreds of videos. And one big dream to be a moviemaker. iMovie trailers let you quickly create fun, Hollywood-style movie trailers from all that footage. Choose from a range of templates in almost any genre, pick your studio logo and type in your movie title and credits. Then add photos and videos to the storyboard. Whether you’re using an iPhone, iPad or Mac, you’ll have an instant blockbuster.

iMovie Everywhere

Cut from iPhone

to iPad to Mac.

iMovie for iOS and iMovie for macOS are designed to work together. You can start cutting a project on your iPhone, then use AirDrop or iCloud Drive to wirelessly transfer it to your iPad. You can also send a project from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac for finishing touches like colour correction and animated maps. And you can even open iMovie projects in Final Cut Pro to take advantage of professional editing tools. Time to take a bow.

iMovie on iPad Pro

A powerful performance in every movie.

iMovie delivers a tour de force on iPad Pro. Work with multiple 4K video clips. Create effects like green screen, picture‑in‑picture or split screen, and play them back instantly. Use the Magic Keyboard for iPad with trackpad support for an extra level of speed and precision when editing. And with the USB‑C port on iPad Pro and iPad Air (4th generation or later), you can connect to an external display to show others your latest cut in 4K while you work.

Share

Release your
movie
to the adoring public.

iMovie gives you lots of ways to share with your friends, family and loyal fans. You can send your movie via Mail or Messages for an instant reaction from your loved ones, or save a video and upload it to popular social media sites like Instagram or YouTube in stunning 4K resolution. And getting share-worthy content out there has never been easier — or faster — with Magic Movie and Storyboards. Create your masterpiece, then sit back and take all the credit.

iMovie in the Classroom

Assignments that
come to life.

Engage your students through video storytelling. Students can use green-screen effects to go back in time for history projects, or create split-screen and picture-in-picture effects to report on current events. Drag‑and‑drop trailers make it even simpler to create beautiful, personal projects that look and sound great. And iMovie for iOS works with ClassKit, so teachers can assign projects to students, and students can hand in their finished assignments directly from the app.
