I haven't used iMovie for five years it is interesting to come back to iMovie and see how clunky, difficult and how bad the UI has become. I pay all of this money for a fancy phone but don't even try to download movies from the phone to MacBook Air for editing in iMovie! I wasted hours figuring out how to do this as all of the 'simple instructions' such as go to your import menu and select your file don't actually work. Don't even get me started on those fecking black bars and getting rid of those. For Fecks sake apple this is a mess clearly so that customers don't use your ****ty product and pay for external apps right? How sad for your company that your apps are now so crap they are no longer easily used with the updated technology you produce.

I'm using version 10.1.6 on a 2010 iMac running Hig Sierra. I think this is the point where iMovie has started to suck beyond belief. It used to be good and smooth, but now it is full of inexplicable glitches, slow non-performance and random behaviour. Clips randomly move from one library to the other, projects get mix up or dissappear altogether, only to show back up in months later without any provocation. It seems to have moodswings, where it will import clips of a certain type without hesitation, only to totally refuse to import the exact same type of file the next moment. HD exports sometimes look perfect and sometimes they resemble old VHS-tape. Exporting a 10 minute finished film will sometimes go in 5 minutes and sometimes in 5 hours or even days.
iMovie now behaves like a zoo-monkey on meth: Totally unreliable, erratic and pathetic.
