In iMovie, users can edit photos and video clips and add titles, themes, background music and effects, including basic color correction and video enhancement tools and transitions such as fades and slides. Simultaneously, iMovie can take advantage of Apple’s latest features, including support for 3D touch, 1080p HD videos at 60fps, and ultra high-definition 4K footage, etc.
