# ¶ iMovie (video)

iMove is a Mac based **video editing** platform that is considered easier to use than more advanced platforms but also allows more functionality than other more basic platforms. It is available in the [Digital Studio](https://ds.bc.edu/digital-studio/) and, if you have a Mac and it is not already installed, you can download it for free.

The following resources provide a helpful introduction to the app.
