Expert Answer

Final Cut Pro is a great option if you want something kind of similar to iMovie with more functionality. The other thing you can do is move over to Adobe Premiere. That's the industry standard when it comes to editing video footage.

Question

Why won't Facebook allow me to upload a video f I paid for it? It says the song belongs to someone else.

Community Answer

The use of the song is protected by copyright. Your purchase means you can listen to it on your devices. The normal purchase does not include rights to re-use in projects, unless you purchased those rights to use the song in projects (personal or commercial).

Question

How long can a movie be when using iMovie?

Community Answer

It could be as long as you like. However, longer videos require more space, so you could run out of space on your device if a video is too large.

Question

Can I combine 2 or 3 iMovies into one?

Community Answer

In iMovie, if you go to the "Share" tab and export the movies as a file, you should be able to import all 3 of your movies back into iMovie as regular video files.
