Create a New Movie Project

The iLife suite installed on your Mac includes iMovie, which is also available via the App Store. iMovie enables you to import video from a digital camcorder or video file and use that footage to create your own movies. You do this by first creating a project that holds your video clips, transitions, titles, and other elements of your movie.

When you first start iMovie, the program creates a new project for you automatically. Follow the steps in this section to create subsequent projects.
