iMovie is a free video editing application made by Apple for the Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad.[2] It includes a range of video effects and tools like color correction and image stabilization, but is designed to be accessible to users with little or no video editing experience.[3] iMovie's professional equivalent is Apple's Final Cut Pro X.[4]
iMovie was originally released in 1999 for Mac OS 8, and bundled with the iMac DV.[5][6] With version 3, iMovie became part of Apple's now-defunct iLife suite, alongside other multimedia apps. iMovie '08 was a complete rewrite, and lacked many of the features of previous versions, which returned in iMovie '09 and iMovie '11.[3] The iOS version of iMovie came out in 2010.[7]
iMovie is pre-installed on all new Macs, iPhones, and iPads, and is available for free on the App Store.[2]
