Vratislav Holub Apple can be proud not only of quality products, but also of excellent and well-optimized software. Operating systems, for example, play an extremely important role. These are subsequently enriched with a number of practical native applications of all kinds. For example, we have the Safari browser, the complete iWork office package, Notes, Reminders, Find and many others. The iMovie program is also available for devices such as iPhone, iPad or Mac, which serves as basic software for simple and quick editing or video creation.

Adam Kos For example, if you need to edit a longer video, add transitions or various effects to it, or make a video presentation out of photos, then iMovie is a great choice. This is free software that you can download directly from the (Mac) App Store. Unfortunately, even so, it has certain weaknesses which, according to the apple growers themselves, are completely unnecessary.
How Apple could improve iMovie
Let's therefore shed some light on what bothers apple growers the most. As we mentioned above, iMovie is a great application that allows any Apple user to edit their videos without having to spend on expensive software. An example of a professional program for working with video can be, for example, Final Cut Pro from Apple, which will cost you CZK 7. So the difference is quite fundamental. But while Final Cut Pro is a professional solution, iMovie is a basic program. So let's take a quick look at its possibilities. As we have already mentioned, the software can deal with editing, can work with audio tracks, offers the possibility of adding subtitles, transitions and many others.

So whatever you need to edit, there's a pretty good chance you'll be comfortable with iMovie. But this no longer applies to more demanding edits, which is of course understandable given the purpose. But the most important problem comes when you want to edit portrait shots. In that case, the app won't be very helpful, on the contrary. It will literally test your patience. Although it is possible to solve these cases in a way, there is absolutely no intuitive help in iMovie that would inform the user about such possibilities. This could be solved very simply during the creation of the project itself. Here, Apple could be inspired by competing programs and simply offer users the option of choosing which resolution and aspect ratio they want the output video to be in. In addition, it would be enough to create several templates for formats - for example, for Instagram Reels, TikTok, 9:16, etc.
iMovie has a lot of potential and works as a perfect solution for quick and easy video editing. That's why it's quite a shame that it has these small gaps. On the other hand, the question is whether Apple is preparing for such an improvement, or when we will see it at all.
