Works great, some flaws.

I think iMovie works great. But here is my complaint. I am gonna startwith the pros, than Iwil get to the cons. iMovie works great for editing and organizing videos and pictures. When I started to use iMovie I did realize it is really good quality. Okay, here are the cons. I love iMovie and I dont know if this is just for me, but it takes very long to download. Once it almost took 30 minutes, I'm not sure if this is something to do with the space on your computer, but this is defintely a big flaw I deal with when I try to download it on several devices. I also do thinkit is a bit confusing to use on a laptop or any computer in general. I tried to select a specific part of my clip I imported, and instead I had to split the clip, since I went through this struggle. I have done this on iPad and it works just fine. I can select specific parts of clips on iPad, just on here it is much more confusing. I also went through some struggle just importing my video into the editing section. I think this was quite annoying. That is about it. Thank you for listening.

Used to work great before this most recent update.

I can't get iMovie to do anything correctly anymore since I updated it. They changed things about it that are very annoying. Before, you could just drag whatever videos or photos you wanted straight into the editing section of iMovie off of your desktop, a folder, an external drive, anything. Now you have to drag them into these specific folders inside iMovie (at least you can create your own) and from there you can drag them into the editing section. Why the extra step? Its literally there for no reason. I wish I could just go back to the old version. Thats not the worst of it either. Im trying to do a time lapse edit, and Ive always had this issue with iMovie, why can I not play the clips at less than 0.1 sec each? hours of timelaps photos need to be broken down do a minute or two, not 10. Even worse though, is that it can't even get the order correct anymore. I drop them all in and they come out in the completely wrong order. Frames are changing back and forth the entire time you watch it. Then it gets worse! How's that even possible? I don't know. It doesn't even export what you made. Using the 0.1 second frames (the LOWEST choice I had) it came out to something like 2min 25sec or so. I exported it, it took FOREVER, then all of the sudden it was only the first 7 seconds of my film. Seriously. How could you possibly screw up so many features in one update? Just take it back to when it was simple and usable, PLEASE.

INCONSISTENT GARBAGE

I cannot tell you how long I've been screaming at my computer before writing this. iMovie is the most INCONSITENT piece of trash software I've used. I swear to god this can't be the same app I used 6 years ago in MIDDLE SCHOOL to edit things at a near peak level and am suddenly struggling with. This app has gone to crap. The reason I call this stupid wannabe video editor "INCONSISTENT" is because of its trim function from its clip viewing station. Whenever you want to select a piece of a video to drop down into your creator area, you have to slice with between these two orange bars (which is frustrating enough because every time you click on the vid the bars reset to the beginning and end of the clip...seriously why cant you just click on an area of a clip and start trimming from there? Thats just basic!). Moving on, whenever I try to clip the videos sometimes it works smoothly as it should. I can move the bars to where I want them to. However SOMETIMES imovie ignores everything im trying to beg it to do and instead starts clicking at the beginning of the video, missing the bar that my cursor is directly on top of. Like seriously, this app cannot be anymore terrible (prove me wrong Apple..I know you will)
