I used iMovie to create this video, and exported it using the Export for Youtube function of iMovie. I also used Canva to edit some of the images.

I do love the concept and also the images. We’re going to have to make a choice about our future.
The once place that could use works is lining up the images with the music. There’re a couple ways to do this. One is to line up the images with the PCM of the audio file. I’m not sure that there’s is something in iMovie to do that, but I do know that other editors have that capability. One other option is to magnify the timeline so that you can drag the image to the points in the audio track where the rhythm is most pronounced.
Otherwise, I thought this was a wonderful video and I look forward to seeing more from you!
Kestrel,
I think your message about the “saving the planet” is an important one and the images fit very well. I like the way the music of “2025” is sort of woven between the images. I wish I knew how to do the fade with the music the way you did on your video.The video also makes you think about the future we are in and the one we could have.
