(iMovie also provides a Delete Clip button if you double-tap a clip.) And you can rearrange the order of clips by dragging a clip to a new location in the timeline. If you’d like to delete a clip, just drag it from the timeline to the preview area, and it will vanish. The video will play from the current position of the playhead. To play a clip, just tap a Play button in the upper-right corner of the display. You can then preview the clip, retake it, or tap a blue Use button to insert the video or still into your project. Tap the red Record button to start recording. Just as with the Camera app, you can choose to shoot video or stills, choose the front or rear camera, and adjust the flash.
To do so, tap the camera icon on the display the iPhone’s Camera interface appears. You can also add live video to your project. Importing live video into an iMovie project. When you add a music track to your project, iMovie automatically ducks the music’s volume so that it doesn’t drown out a clip’s audio track. There’s no option for repositioning the audio clip, so it appears after the video has started nor can you trim it. When you choose a track it appears as a green bar below the timeline. When you tap Audio, you see the option to choose tracks from Theme Music (five tracks are included) and tracks from your iPod library-Playlists, Albums, Artists, or Songs. You can just as easily add a music bed to your movie. Tap a Done button and the sheet disappears. Within this sheet, you can also choose the length of the transition-0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 seconds are your options. The theme effect is a special effect designed specifically for the theme you’ve chosen. On this sheet, you can choose no transition, cross dissolve, or theme. Tap twice on one of these transitions, and you bring up a Transitions Settings sheet. By default, this is a cross dissolve transition. When you add video clips or photos to the timeline, transitions are automatically inserted between each item. Use handles to trim the beginning and end of a clip. If you’ve trimmed a clip, quit the app, and return a couple of days later, you can restore the footage you trimmed. You can trim only the beginning and end of a clip, there’s no way to split clips, though you can fake a split by trimming the back end of the clip, importing another copy of the clip into the timeline, and then trimming the front of the clip. As you drag, you see a preview of the video in the preview area along with a small time readout, showing you the length of the clip-13.0s, for example. Drag one of these handles to trim the clip. To make those selections, just tap the clip in the timeline and orange handles appear at the beginning and end of the clip. Once in the timeline you can use the stretch gesture to zoom in on the clip, thus making it easier to make finer selections. Rather, it drops into a timeline at the bottom of the screen. You don’t have the option to trim the clip before you import it. To insert a video clip, tap the Video button if it’s not already selected and then tap the clip you want. And while you can add video clips to iPhoto and sync them to the phone, they aren’t available from within iMovie (though they do appear in the Photos app). For example, you can’t import video that appears in the iPod app’s Videos area.

At the bottom of the screen is a Theme Music entry with an On/Off toggle switch.
(However, if you want to go “theme-less” don’t add any titles or stray from the default cross-dissolve transition. You don’t have an option to create a project without choosing a theme.
