iMovie is a video editing application developed and distributed by Apple as part of the iLife suite of products for Mac computers. iMovie allows a user to import digital video from a camera to her Macintosh for editing and playback. Videos are brought into iMovie as individual clips. Audio is treated as a separate track in iMovie, allowing users to create voice-over narration, add different audio or simply remove the audio.
Step 1
Launch iMovie. Double-click the hard drive icon on the desktop of your Mac computer. Click “Applications” from the left navigation pane of your hard drive and click “iMovie” from the list of available applications.
