Would you like to learn to use iMovie better? Here’s a list of some online information that can help you to learn how to use iMovie. iMovie has grown and evolved since it was introduced in 1999. In 2007, Apple gave iMovie’s interface and workflow a complete overhaul with the introduction of iMovie ’08 (aka version 7). This same general interface is still present in the current version of iMovie, iMovie ’11. The interface overhaul has thrown experienced iMovie users for a loop and confuses many novice users. Consequently, I frequently provide iMovie training to help users get oriented. However, there are some very good online resources to help you get started with learning how to use iMovie.

Apple offers some free how-to videos for iMovie. Apple also has a list of iMovie keyboard shortcuts which can really speed up your work in iMovie.

Ken Stone, a professional photographer, who uses Apple’s high-end video editing application, Final Cut Pro, has written a detailed overview of iMovie ’09. While he approaches some things from his perspective and personal needs, I found the article very informative.

Lynda.com is an online computer training business which has been around since the late 1990′s. It has an extensive collection of video tutorials. For a relatively low monthly subscription fee you have access to the entire library including their iMovie training videos.
