Just like Garage Band, iMovie has many powerful features available if you look a little closer. Here are some tutorials to get you started. It’s a good idea to think of software as a tool, sometimes even an old screwdriver, or a cheap pen can have it’s uses, you never know when that piece of software may have just the look or sound you are after?
