What is iMovie?

iMovie is Apple's very own video editing application. It saw its first daylight in October 1999, more than two decades ago. The software comes pre-installed on most Mac and iOS devices. Whilst initially a paid application, Apple decided to make iMovie completely free of charge for all Apple owners in 2017.
