Trim your clips and change the transition You’ll be able to trim your still just as you would a video clip. (Making a trailer involves collecting just right sequence of action shots, profiles, landscapes, two-shots, and more, so it’s more complicated than it may seem.)īonus tip: You can add still photos to your video, too-just pick them from the Media tab. Let’s stick with the “Movie” option for now. You’ll be presented with two choices: make a movie, or create a trailer. Pick a theme for your movie, anything from Modern to CNN iReport-and yes, you can always change the theme later. Now that you have a general idea of how to make a movie in iMovie, go to the Projects tab and tap the big “+” button to create a new project. Once you’ve “exported” a project to the Theater tab (a.k.a., “iMovie Theater”), you’ll be able to play your new movie on all your iCloud-connected devices, stream it to an Apple TV, or even upload it to YouTube. The last tab, Theater, is where your projects will go once they’re fully baked. To make a movie, you’ll need to create a project, stir in some clips from the Video tab, and then start editing. The next tab, Projects, is where you’ll be doing all the work.
