The editing screen is very similar to iMovie on the Mac for those users who are familiar with the desktop/laptop version and is split into three different screens. On the bottom of the screen, you will find the timeline, on the top left is the available media, and a video preview of the project/video is located in the top right. The “My Projects/Project Directory screen is designed to look like a vintage movie theater.
 * Editing: **

**Previewing Clips:** You can preview clips by dragging your finger across them and trim the edges before adding to your project. **Moving Clips:** To move clips around in your timeline, simply drag to position the clip where you want and drop it. **Splitting Clips:** If you want to split a clip, position the cursor, select the clip, and swipe down along the cursor. **Record Video:** Tap the record Button to easily record audio and video directly into the timeline.

**Themes:** iMovie is preloaded with eight themes, each of which comes with its own title screen format, transitions, and theme music **Sound Effects:** iMovie comes with a bank of sound effects that can be added to movies.

**Sharing:** Sharing your movies is a simple task, as iMovie has built in the ability to send finished projects directly to YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Just tap the **share icon** from the projects screen and make your selection.
