Course for Intro to iMovie app on Mac app Store

This online help link is probably the best overall tutorial for iMovie 10. It has a great search engine where you can search by topic or search word. It provides step-by-step instruction for use of most of iMovie 10's features. Here's the link:

As for the main question in your post, it might be that you just need to update your iMovie app to current version. If that's your situation, try updating.

You might also try opening iMovie in a new library. To do this, open iMovie while holding down the Option key, and then choose or create a new library in which iMovie can open..

There appears to be a problem as I too get the white screen.

However, it consists of 11 movie files which you can access as follows:-

Open your Applications Folder and find "Course for Intro to iMovie".

Control-click (right-click) on it and a pop-up menu will appear.

Select "Show Package Contents".

Double-click the "Contents" folder to open it and then double-click the "Resources" folder.

Half-way down the list of items in the Resources folder you will see the 11 movie files.

Drag or copy them to the desktop.

Note that they are almost 7 years old and there have been many changes to iMovie since then.

You may be better searching for up to date tutorials on YouTube.

The link Rich has given you is theoretically excellent because it has pretty much everything that you need to know about iMovie . . . but therein lies its big problem to my mind.

I find it too long, complex and bitty with all the numerous links you have to click to open sections you find interesting. It would be far easier to use if it was in a downloadable book-form (.pdf) where you could skim through quickly to get an overview of everything but for some reason Apple have not done this.

They have done it for Final Cut Pro . . . you have the choice of struggling with the online help or downloading it as a convenient book.

There are numerous good (and not so good) tutorials on YouTube but everyone has different requirements so a tutorial that is perfect for one person may not cover or stress the parts that are important to you.

This one seems quite good but how good depends on exactly what aspects of iMovie you want to learn.

Hi, Ian,

I don't seem to have a "Course for Intro to iMovie" folder or file in my Applications folder. Nor is it in the iMovie Show Package Contents/Contents/Resources folder. I'm running iMovie 10.1.12 on Mojave, so I wonder if the folder you mention is for later versions of iMovie running on Catalina or later.

You are welcome.

You have to download it from the App Store.

Ah. I missed that part. 😊
