1. From reading the articles about iMovie, I learned that iMovie on the desktop is not as hard as it seems to be. The audio of the video is very easy to fix and edit and I learned that the audio of one clip could carry on to the next clip. I was really surprised at the fact that you could cut clips and then piece them together like a puzzle.     I also learned that if you don't like one part of a certain clip, you don't have to delete the whole entire thing. All you have to do is just split the part of the video that you don't like and bam the video has been fixed. All together, I learned so many different ways to edit a video with iMovie and I can't wait to use the skills I learned in the future. 2.

One thing that I didn't know was that you can select the screen dimension sizes for the video. 4. One thing I...
