Make Movies with iMovie for Windows Alternative

Why You Need An iMovie Alternative for Windows?

iMovie is the free video editor application for macOS and iOS. It's created by Apple and used only in its own operating system macOS and iOS.

Instead, iMovie is currently and will only be a Mac/iOS exclusive video editing application. This is one of Apple's strategies to attract more people to buy and use their machines.
