iMovie 10.2.4 - Importing iOS projects and more stability

If you take a look at iMovie on the Apple Mac or, even better, the App Store, you will see that the video editing app can be updated there. After installing the update, iMovie 10.2.4 will be available to you. In addition to all previous functions, this version offers you the import of projects that were created on the iPhone using iMovie 2.3 or later. There are also 16 new backgrounds with customizable colors. These are sometimes monochromatic, sometimes structured. Last but not least are stability improvements in the latest update from iMovie included for macOS. macOS 10.15.6 or later is required.

You can find the update of iMovie to version 10.2.4 in the Mac App Store under macOS (Catalina and Big Sur).

What is iMovie for macOS?

iMovie is software provided by Apple free of charge that can be used to cut, edit, add text and effects and otherwise edit videos under macOS and now also under iOS and iPadOS. The app has been around since 1997, which made it a selling point for the iMac, which was released in 1998. Over time, more and more options for video editing were added, so that today it is also possible to create films and trailers. Video stabilization helps to make shaky recordings more attractive. And even (simple) green screen effects can be used.

After the download or an update, you will be informed of a few functions when you start the app for video editing.
