    This course gave me what I needed. iMovie, like most Apple software, is intuitive, and you can figure a lot of it out yourself, but of course, there are little nuances here and there that maybe you wouldn't have realized existed. That's where Emilio comes in. His course was not too long and easy to follow. Emilio walks you through all of iMovie's features, with the right amount of time spent on them. He speaks well and stays on focus. We Americans naturally love the Australian accent. The only quibbles: Most of the chapters end abruptly, so that there's not much of a transition to the next video. (We don't need a big transition; another course I took had transitions that were too long.) And the bigger quibble: When Emilio was editing sound and demonstrating it for us, I couldn't hear that sound so well since it was much quieter than his voice. I got the idea, but being able to hear that sound better would have made the demonstrations more enlightening. Thank you for the quick course! I needed that boost.

    This is a great course for learning about imovie. I have tried to figure out imovie on my own a number of times and just got confused and overwhelmed. This course really broke down all the things you can do in imovie and made it really much less overwhelming. Thank you!
