Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Select a clip

Before you begin the improvement, select the clip you want to enhance the quality of. Make sure that the clip is highlighted in the timeline so that iMovie can make the appropriate adjustments.

Step 2: Activate the magic wand

Now comes the easy part: Hover your mouse over the magic wand button in the toolbar. When you do, a tooltip will appear indicating that the video and audio quality of the selected clip can be automatically improved. Click once on the magic wand to start the automatic analysis.

Step 3: Quality analysis

While iMovie analyzes your clip, the software evaluates various aspects such as color values and audio levels. It may take a few seconds for the analysis to complete, so be patient. After the analysis, you will see what changes have been made.

Step 4: Review results

After the analysis, the adjustments will be displayed. You can visually see the changes made to color correction, volume levels, and possibly other aspects. Pay particular attention to the color adjustments, as they can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your video.

Step 5: Accept or reset adjustments

If you are satisfied with the changes, you can keep them. If not, use the reset function to revert to the original settings. You can either reset only specific adjustments or the entire process at once using the "Reset" button.

Step 6: Make manual adjustments (optional)

If you feel that the automatic adjustments do not meet your expectations, you can manually intervene in the settings. Go through the individual adjustment options such as color correction, noise reduction, and volume. Here, you can set the perfect values to suit your style.

Step 7: Conduct quality checks

Before proceeding with your edited video, preview the result. This will help you determine if the changes meet your expectations. Keep an eye out for possible visual or audio improvements.

Step 8: Export your project

Once you are satisfied with all the changes, export your project. Save it in the desired quality and share it with other platforms or save it locally.
