iMovie comes with several Clip Filters and Audio Effects that can be added to any or all of your footage to help you achieve a style or look to your video. The following tutorial will help you find and add those effects.
- Double-click the clip in your Timeline that you wish to modify. You will then see a row of icons appear over your video in the Viewer window of iMovie.
